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.
