In Sandwich King season 1 episode 4, titled "Schnitzel Biscuit," host Jeff Mauro takes on the challenge of making a sandwich that pays homage to his roots in Chicago while incorporating his love for German dishes. He decides to create a sandwich that combines two American classics - a biscuit and schnitzel.
To begin, Jeff makes his schnitzel by pounding out chicken breasts until they are thin and then coating them in seasoned flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs. He fries the chicken until it is crispy and golden brown.
Next, Jeff turns his focus to the biscuit. Instead of making a traditional buttermilk biscuit, Jeff puts his own spin on it by adding some shredded cheddar cheese and a few dashes of hot sauce to give it some extra flavor. He then bakes the biscuits until they are light and fluffy.
To assemble the sandwich, Jeff tops the schnitzel with some sautéed spinach and a slice of Swiss cheese. He then places the chicken and cheese on top of the biscuit and finishes it off with some homemade mustard sauce.
The result is a sandwich that perfectly blends the flavors of Chicago-style comfort food with the hearty fare of German cuisine. Jeff's schnitzel biscuit is a delicious and inventive take on the classic chicken sandwich, and it's sure to satisfy any craving for a hearty, flavorful meal.
Throughout the episode, Jeff also shares tips and tricks for making the perfect schnitzel and biscuit, as well as advice on how to balance flavors and textures to create a truly unforgettable sandwich. With his infectious enthusiasm and creative approach to sandwich-making, Jeff proves that there's no limit to what you can create between two slices of bread.
