Playwright's Melt

I really love Gwyneth Paltrow's first cookbook, My Father's Daughter, and am looking forward to getting my hands on her new one, as well. The first one is full of all kinds of yummy recipes and beautiful photos and stories. This sandwich, a creation by Leonard Gershe, who wrote Butterflies Are Free, is stupid good. This is my version of the open-faced deliciousness, which we had with veggies & dip and Cara Cara oranges.

Playwright's Melt

1/4 c. chopped black olives (the better the olive, the better the sandwich)

4 scallions, thinly sliced

1 c. shredded cheddar (Cabot or Tillamook, if you can)

1 tsp. curry powder

A few dashes of worcestershire sauce

2 tbsp. mayonnaise

4 English muffins, toasted

Mix everything but the muffins. Spread the mixture on the muffins. Broil until well-browned & bubbling. Serves 4.
