Our Carb Conscious recipes have 42g or less of net carbohydrates (total carbohydrates minus dietary fiber) per serving, a 25% reduction in net carbs compared to the average Blue Apron recipe served in 2019. Due to the natural variation in size of and contribution of produce in our recipes, some recipes can be badged as Carb Conscious at 45g or less net carbs per serving.

From the Test Kitchen

These irresistible sandwiches feature sliced prosciutto (an Italian dry-cured ham), which finds savory complement from our take on pimento cheese—a delightfully melty mix of cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, and piquant peppers.

In a large bowl, combine the sliced cabbage and sliced cucumbers. Peel 1 clove of garlic. Grate the cheese on the large side of a box grater. Roughly chop the peppers. In a bowl, combine the grated cheese, chopped peppers, mayonnaise, and all but a pinch of the spice blend. Stir to thoroughly combine.

In a large pan (nonstick,  if you have one), heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium until hot. Add the sandwiches. Loosely cover the pan with foil and cook 2 to 4 minutes per side, or until lightly browned and the cheese is melted (if the pan seems dry, add a drizzle of olive oil before flipping). Transfer to a cutting board. Carefully rub the outer sides of the toasted bread with the peeled garlic clove; discard the clove. Halve the cooked sandwiches on an angle. Serve the finished sandwiches with the slaw on the side. Enjoy!
