Prosperity Sandwich ___________________________________________________________

Josh Alt • Llywelyn’s Pub ___________________________________________________________

After careful consideration Llywelyn’s Pub decided to present the Prosperity

Sandwich. We are currently offering this open-faced, oven-baked sandwich as a fall/

winter special. While the Prosperity Sandwich has deep, deep roots in classic

Americana dining lore, it also has a special place in the hearts of “old school”

Llywelyn’s fans. The Prosperity Sandwich was offered on the very first Llywelyn’s Pub

menu in 1975. Of course we’ve made some alterations along the way, but the home-

style, comforting spirit of the dish remains.

Prepare the Rarebit Sauce a day in advance, though anywhere from 1-3 days

advance preparation is common. This allows the various flavors in the sauce to meld

together under refrigeration. We make our Rarebit Sauce with Guinness and mild

cheddar, but there are tons of great variations online.

1.5 oz Black Forest ham, chopped

1.5 oz turkey breast, cooked, chopped

2 slices bacon, cooked

3 oz Rarebit Sauce

2 asparagus spears, pan seared2 tomato slices, pan seared

1 oz. white cheddar cheese, shredded

1 thick slice sourdough bread, toasted and cut diagonally

1 oz. canola oil

Salt to taste

Black pepper to taste

Minced garlic to taste

Preheat oven broiler to 450 degrees. Reheat Rarebit Sauce to 165 degrees and

hold. Rough chop the ham and turkey. Reserve, along with the bacon strips,

asparagus spears, tomato slices and shredded cheese. Toast sourdough bread and

place at the bottom of an ovenproof dish of roughly 12 oz. capacity.

In a hot sauté pan add the canola oil. If upon flicking a bit of water from your

fingers to the oil, the oil bubbles and jumps, it is ready for searing. Add the turkey,

ham and asparagus to the hot oil. Add salt, pepper and garlic to taste.

Remove the pan from heat once the items begin to caramelize. Layer the turkey,

ham and bacon on top of the toasted bread. Top with Rarebit Sauce. Layer the

tomato slices and grilled asparagus on top of the sauce. Top with shredded cheddarand broil for 2-3 minutes until the cheese bubbles and begins to brown slightly.

Remove from broiler and allow to rest for a few minutes as the ingredients settle.

This dish can easily be prepared as a casserole by multiplying the ingredients and

increasing the size of the baking dish accordingly.

We serve our Prosperity Sandwich with our Pub Fries to dip into the sauce, but

fresh veggies, apples, pears, etc. would be great as well!

Place pie crust in 9-inch pie pan. Melt butter and chocolate in a sauce pan. Heat

gently while stirring until mixed. Do not let boil. (Could be melted in microwave.) In

a mixer, beat eggs until light and fluffy. Stir in corn syrup, sugar and vanilla. Fold in

melted chocolate and butter. Blend gently until combined. Pour filling into pie pan.
