For as long as I have known my husband, he has talked about a Bird’s Nest Sandwich that he used to get at The Oasis when he lived in Portland.
He remembered how good the sandwich was and how great the fly fishing was.
Unfortunately, I could not send him to Oregon to fish last week, but I could send him the store for the ingredients for the sandwich.
I will be honest.
I was skeptical.
But Wednesday he made these Bird’s Nest Sandwiches for dinner.
And I loved them.
This is not a sandwich for the birds (pun intended).
Refreshing, light, full of texture.
I made another batch of them today for lunch, but I made them 2 hours ahead and then wrapped them up and put them in the frig.
I liked them even better after that way.
Next time I serve a luncheon or have a little party these will be on the menu.
Bird’s Nest Sandwiches Recipe:

Directions:
Assemble ingredients above and then eat. :) Does not get any easier than that:)
Looks like a really good sandwich! I can see why your husband enjoys them so much.
This reminds me of my favorite sandwich from a local shop here in Oklahoma City! I can’t wait to make it! Thanks for sharing.
I love this idea! I’m a huge fan of using cranberry sauce all year round, and this is a lovely way to do so. If only I had a ton of croissants… ;)
Thanks for participating at Hearthfelt Hopes! I’m so glad to have you there.
