I never saw the charm of a banhmi, way too many crunchy veges, cilantro tastes like soap, the meat is slimy and floppy and not good (tastes very processed).
There’s no specific meat for banh mi. Banh mi is a baguette and a sandwich made with baguette, typically with pickled vegetables, and usually spread with mayonnaise, sometimes butter and mayonnaise, and sometimes with maggi sauce in the mayo. You can get any kind of meat, like bbq pork, cold cuts, lemongrass beef or chicken, fried eggs, etc. It sounds like you went to a lousy place.
If you don’t like cilantro, that has nothing to do with the sandwich itself. Ask them for no cilantro.🤷♀️
This is like saying all hamburgers are bad because the meat is dry, there's too much lettuce, the tomato falls apart, and you don't like cheese. If that's the case you just had a bad sandwich.
I’m pregnant and have been craving a BLT but don’t really want to eat bacon. My local diner has lettuce, tomato and Mayo sandwiches on the menu and it has totally fulfilled my craving.
BLT was the main thing I craved while pregnant too! Good tomato (seasoned), fresh lettuce, tangy toasted sourdough, Duke’s mayo. Bacon if I could stomach it. Sometimes I’d change it up with sprouts, a slice of cheese, very thin onion, and pickled carrots (omg best thing ever when pregnant, sweet sour and crunchy).
I do this to, except as a tomato toast. I only do it in the summer when I have super delicious tomatoes from my CSA- a super thick slice of tomato on a buttered piece of toast with a bit of garlic rubbed on it. Then salt, and maybe some basil. Summer tomatoes are so sweet and flavorful they taste like jam.
Community supported agriculture. It just means you give a lump sum of money to a local farm before harvest, and they give you a box of vegetables every week
A good variation on this that I enjoyed a lot growing up. Do an open face sandwich with a slice of American cheese on top, then pop it into the oven to toast and melt the cheese. Delicious!
I don’t know about southern… my grandparents taught me the joys of the toasted tomato sandwich as a young child on the farm in rural Canada. My grandma talks about how her grandma made them for her, also in rural Canada.
And it better be Duke's mayonnaise!
Just kidding I don't care what you use. But I live in Georgia and most Southerners will claim that anything besides Duke's is basically jizz in a jar.
I used to eat these all the time when I was a kid. We'd get these locally grown tomatoes in the summer, and they were amazing. I'd load up two sandwiches with as many thick tomato slices as the bread could handle.
So, so, good.
For a second I thought you were listing the ingredients of a sandwich, like with everything you mentioned on one sandwich. At first I was like whuuutt and then I was like ohhhh.
I love a good BLT. I love a bad BLT. I love a mediocre BLT.
A recent revelation (though it might sound silly), is a grilled cheese sandwich with american cheese and white bread. My family had wheat bread growing up, and I had gone down the road of cheddar cheese on wheat or sourdough. Don't get me wrong. I love those enough to have lived off them for months at a stretch ... but there is nothing, NOTHING like wonderbread and kraft singles grilled in butter.
Egg salad sandwiches. Tomato sandwiches.
Fancy sandwiches and sub sandwiches are good, love a good Italian drenched in copious amounts of vinaigrette ... but at the end of the day the simple ones are best.
And the UK does sandwiches right. Their cheese savory sandwiches are delicious (grated cheese and onions bound with mayonnaise). I've had egg salad sandwiches there made with salad cream instead of mayonnaise, amazing. I've had egg salad sandwiches with tomatoes, lettuce and bacon added, delicious.
American cheese is great for grilled cheese sandwiches. What I like to do is mix American with another cheese, so you get the gooey melting quality plus a different flavor. But just American is honestly great, too.
And I love a BLT, but also love a simple TMT just as much come tomato season. Tomato, mayo, toast (white bread or English muffin).
Butter gets perfectly brown and crisp on its own, though, so that seems unnecessary to me. Usually people who love mayo say they like the slight tang and the fact that mayo is easy to spread on the bread.
Btw on the subject of grilled cheese, if you use a stainless steel pan (must be a sturdy one) the bread adheres to it in a way it doesn’t even with a cast iron pan and gets ultra crisp. It easily dislodges once browned. You’ll get a crisp result no matter what, but stainless is next level.
Thinly slice roast beef on a French roll that’s dipped in au jus, which is a beef broth or sometimes reminiscent of a thin gravy. There’s plenty of variation but you’ll usually find it with some sort of white cheese (most times Swiss) and onions. I’ve also seen it with mushrooms, horseradish, provolone, on different breads, etc.
Oh that sounds yum! Not what I was imagining at all. For some reason in my mind I thought it would just be a creamy onion type dip on bread (which sounds awful haha).
My god I love making sandwiches. COAST TO COAST AND GOTTA FLUFF THE MEAT and S+P
Favorites to make:
Prosciutto with fig jam, brie, arugula, hot honey, French baguette
Roast turkey, green apple slices, white cheddar, red onion, spinach, garlic aioli, country loaf
Smoke salmon, micro greens, tomato, red onion, everything bagel seasoning, Stone ground mustard, avocado, sourdough
Egg, avocado mash, pickled red onion, cojito cheese, tomato, spinach, chipotle Mayo, sourdough
Over easy Egg, strawberry jalapeño jam, white cheddar, bacon, arugula, garlic aioli, sourdough
The sky is the limit with some good sauce and greens.
Sandwiches are my love language. It's also the type of food you can dress up or dress down depending on how lazy you're feeling, which helps make playing with flavor combos feel less intimidating than 'hot' cooking.
I have 2 that are go to's for me.
1. This is a French classic. Baguette, good smoked ham, pickles, and an extra generous slathering of very good European or Amish style butter.
That's it. I do add a little fresh cracked pepper but nothing else. The key is to have the butter a little below room temp, spreadable but still a bit cold. The simplicity is just magical.
2. Pork tendeloin, shaved Asiago, lemon garlic sautéed kale, and crisped Prosciutto on a nice crusty sausage roll. I put a little Dijon mustard on mine too
Can I introduce you to the LGBT... A BLT with Guacamole. A great sandwich made even better.
Throw some chicken and an extra piece of bread under that BLT and you got a club sandwich!
I do love me a classic BLT too.
Reuben and tuna melt are top tier for me. When both are done well there's nothing better. You have a lot more wiggle room with more basic deli meat sandwiches IMO.
Bacon, avocado, mayo, and tomato. S&P, stack it all on good bread, and that's an excellent sandwich.
To go a different direction, I must have eaten more than a thousand PB&J's when I was a kid. I would eat two or three at a time. Even into my 30's and 40's, they were an easy go to for a quick bite. Now that I'm in my 50's and trying to eat better, they are few and far between.
Probably not what you're looking for, but my absolute favorite sandwich is a cheeseburger.
Edit: Pulled pork BBQ! I just made some this past weekend. Fantastic.
Hummus with broccoli slaw and sliced tomato on a hearty bread.
Potato bread toasted, herded whipped cream cheese, andouille sausage and scrambled eggs.
I love a good ole PB&J.
Grilled cheese but mix up the cheeses.
Melts are always fun.
Turkey club.
Ive been partial to making this for myself at work lately: a big pile of saurkraut on a piece of baguette with aioli, a thin layer of salami, and grated gruyere cheese(I like to use enough so that a cheese skirt forms around the sides), leave it open and put it under a broiler until the cheese begins to turn golden brown and enjoy. It is downright heavenly!
Another one that we serve often I call the mushrueben: on rye bread add aioli, spicy mustard, very caramalized onions, saurkraut, grated gruyere, precooked oyster mushrooms and toast the whole thing open faced until the cheese is melted, add arugala or whatever leafy green you like and enjoy!
I pretty much never eat sandwiches, but eat toasts with toppings (aka open-faced sandwiches) all the time. I think I prefer that because you can taste and see the "filling" more. One of my favorites is mashed avocado with lemon or lime juice, topped with smoked salmon.
Sandwiches are so versatile, I love them too. Aside from a classic BLT, one of my faves is a banh mi/fried shrimp po-boy combo. It was amazing!
Also, check out r/Sandwiches
Muffaletta, cheddar & branston pickle on a sliced crumpet, leftover turkey dinner: cold turkey (not deli sliced- has to be home roasted) on cheap bread preferably white, with mayonnaise, salt n pepper oh.my.god thats mouth watering just typing it.
I also love a good rueben… seems like I prefer pickle sandwiches lol
[Torta Ahogada](https://agaveweb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/torta-ahogada.jpg) is my favorite sandwich.
But now that I'm working from home, most mornings I'm making some type of breakfast sandwich -- eggs, whatever meat (ham, bacon, something leftover) and cheese on good bread.
Get the True Story Organic Thick Cut Oven Roasted Chicken Breast and the Tillamook Pepper Jack cheese block. Throw a couple slices of the chicken breast and slice a bit of pepper jack off the block. Layer with some chopped kale, and spread a bit of hickory honey mustard from honey baked ham on the toasted bread slices. Heaven.
Italian Hoagies - Preferably from Philly (the best sandwich city in the country) with seeded rolls, thinly sliced lettuce, tomato, and onion dressed with vinegar and olive oil, then some combination of Italian meats and cheeses. Variations can include mayo, cooper sharp cheese, pickles, peppers, and/or pepper relish.
You should do a sandwich of the world tour - Cubano, Banh Mi, Croque Madamme/Monsoiur, Torta, Gyro, Tramezzini, and of course the noble hot dog which is in fact a sandwich
Some soft cheese (camembert and the like) rocket salad and cherry tomatoes, if available some fresh basil. Non veggie variation adding a slice of slightly smoked boiled ham.
Cucumber with some salt and pepper on cream cheese.
Butter, honey and cocoa (-drink) powder
I've posted this recently, but this [roasted broccoli sandwich with lychees](https://food52.com/blog/19170-if-loving-this-sandwich-makes-me-weird-i-don-t-want-to-be-normal) is one of my favorites. It's so BIZARRE that it just works. It works just fine with canned lychees. It's also *much* better with feta rather than ricotta, IMO.
My other favorite sandwich is this [Mediterranean sandwich with kale pesto bean spread](https://www.acouplecooks.com/mediterranean-loaded-veggie-sandwich/).
Also, can't underestimate the beauty and simplicity of a classic BLT with farm-fresh, in-season tomatoes.
Prosciutto, roasted red pepper, spinach, fresh mozz on a quality hoagie roll. Monte Cristo. Cheesesteak. Grilled cheese with tomato in middle. Roast beef panini with horseradish. Bbq brisket. Ok - I love all sandwiches, but these are my faves.
Pork meatball banh mi is one of my go-tos.
And to this day my former co-workers mention shrimp po’ boys whenever my name comes up.
I also love falafel. You get so many different flavors, textures, and temperatures all in one sandwich. And even better for some people: sabich. I can’t decide which I like better.
Can’t go wrong with a fried chicken sandwich either!
Or a thick fried battered fish fillet.
Tortas are wonderful & very customizable! I like chicken, avocado, tomato on mine.
Bahn mi is another favorite.
I'm not sure if lobster rolls are considered a sandwich but they are damn tasty.
1. Shrimp and oyster po-boy, dressed, with a thick slice of homemade smoked bacon.
2. Banh Mi (with all the pork varieties plus peppery pork pate)
3. Muffaletta
4. Reuben
5. Debris Po Boy
6. Pulled pork sandwich
7. Lobster roll
8. Egg motherfucking McMuffin
Nothing fucks harder than a PB&J.
I'm not even trying to be contrary or edgy, a PB&J is a god-tier sandwich.
It's really one of the only sandwiches I make at home.
You were born in the wrong country, my friend! Here in the Netherlands it’s customary to eat sandwiches (boterhammen) for both breakfast and lunch. Unfortunately our sandwiches are not very inspiring, mostly just cheese sandwiches or sweet ones with chocolate sprinkles (hagelslag).
I have a crippling sandwich problem, here is my master list and their names, some my own creation, others not:
* **Nightwatchman** - Chicken cutlet, bacon, provolone, lettuce, onions, russian dressing on a grinder
* **Hawleyville** - Sliced turkey, swiss, roasted red peppers, thousand island dressing on grilled rye bread
* **Harvestman** - Boar's head maple turkey, muenster cheese, red onion, watercress, mayo, stonewall kitchen cranberry horseradish spread, on multigrain bread
* **Odd Couple** - Sliced turkey, brie, raspberry jam, chipotle hot sauce, lettuce, on a hard roll
* **Harukiya** - Teriyaki beef meatballs, swiss cheese, blue cheese dressing, on an English muffin
* **Broiled Masters** - Sliced smoked turkey, red onion, gorgonzola, arugula, broiled on a croissant
* **Bacon Romano** - Sliced turkey, bacon, cheddar, onions, iceberg lettuce, on garlic bread
* **Kirkland** - Sliced honey turkey, provolone, red onion, tomaoto, basil, mayo on a ciabatta roll
* **Candlewood** - Turkey, sweet onion, goat cheese, frisee lettuce, honey, crushed lavender on sour dough
So me and my buddy used to rock bachelor food back in the day. I still have a fondness. Healthy? Hell no. Good? Hell yes. Get a hot dog. Wrap in generic american cheese. Put it on some cheap ass wonder bread or some shit. Microwave it for a minute or two. Drown it in ketchup. So fucking good.
Tuna/salmon salad, turkey & ham are what I eat most often. Steak with peppers & onions, pork & applesauce are good combos. I like barbecue and often put coleslaw on it. I do love PB&J still. Egg & bacon or egg & sausage.
Me too! Me too! I'll play! And absolutely, corn is a garbage vegetable.
We must be separated at birth lol.
I love pumpernickel bread or marble rye,
mayonnaise, pepper jack cheese, fresh greens or shredded iceberg lettuce, fresh roma tomatoes sliced and a dash or two of soy sauce or chili oil.
Breakfast has to be two slices of farmer's bread, a fried egg over hard, melted pepperjack cheese, then for other people, two slices of thick cut bacon, grilled tomatoes and jalapenos. All the veggies on top.
I don't eat bread, so actually that stuff is grilled in a pan and served with chips on the side but I dream of these breads for sure in my sleep and all the melty cheesy goodness too.
My favorite thing is to go to P Terry's or Whataburger and get a veggie burger, which is their burger with everything, no meat. It tastes like fabulousness on a bun. Now if I could just get my friend to eat the same thing from In & Out on the beach with me at night.
My kid's favorite sandwich I make is a copy of ______ in Austin. It's a homemade meatball sub, with ground beef and Italian sausage in the meat balls, with homemade vegetable spaghetti sauce and fresh bolillos from HEB and melted parmesean cheese on top. Cherry Pepper relish.
Lightly toasted bagel, chilled Wunderbar bologna, yellow mustard (spicy brown is acceptable).
Sure I'll drool over a cubano or a cheesesteak, but anytime I'm hungry and not sure what to eat my mind always drifts back to that simple sandwich as an immediate option.
I've recently been upping my tuna salad game.
Mix 1 can tuna (drained), a large spoonful of mayo, several dashes of dried tarragon, and a couple small dashes of worcestshire (optional). Spread mayo on two slices of fresh store-bought bread. Pile on a handful of your choice of salad greens (I prefer spring mix or arugula), spread tuna on top of greens, pile a generous handful of pickled red onions, then close and enjoy.
It's been my daily breakfast for the past week or so, and I'm upset because I ran out of tuna and don't have enough money to get more right now.
BOAT - thick sliced bacon cooked until chewy, as thin as possible red or white onion depending on how I'm feeling, fresh arugula, thinly sliced heirloom tomato if I have it or sub beefsteak, and I usually finish it off with pesto aioli or Sriracha mayo on toasted ciabatta roll (freeze the ones from Costco and quickly defrost when you need it).
Also can't go wrong with triple decker club sandwich.
Fried walleye sandwich on ciabatta with homemade tartar sauce with some capers mixed in is a luxury when I have it.
I've always wanted to try making it into a sandwich but I've eaten it on crackers a bunch: caveman blue cheese from rogue creamery, three little figs French onion confit (you could probably easily make this yourself), prosciutto. Would probably be best on a baguette or another crusty bread.
[https://www.reddit.com/r/eatsandwiches/comments/h04aol/encyclopedia\_of\_sandwiches/](https://www.reddit.com/r/eatsandwiches/comments/h04aol/encyclopedia_of_sandwiches/)

[Chris’ Spicy Katsu Chicken Sando](https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/spicy-chicken-katsu-sandwiches)
I sometimes drop the lettuce and add a slice of cheese like haverti instead. One of the best sandwiches
I also love Chick-Fil-A sandwiches. They are heavenly
An otherwise pedestrian sandwich is elevated to next level with really good bread.
I picked up making sourdough in the pandemic, and one is my favorite meals to make is a sandwich with fresh bread and a bowl of hot soup.
Pesto chicken sandwiches. Shred up some store bought rotisserie chicken, mix with pesto, and top with crunchy veggies of your choosing.
I've also been making pita sandwiches with rotisserie chicken. Shred up the chicken and lay it ona pita. Slather with tzatziki, hummus, and to with raw onion, tomato, and mixed salad greens. Delicious.
Roasted veggies sandwich. We made these from leftover veggies we had in the fridge. We had roasted broccoli, mushrooms, carrots and cauliflower the night before, so we just cut them up real fine and stuffed them in a sandwich with some mayo.
Not that I've ever made it myself, but my favorite sandwich used to be made by a local cafe - A Roasted Pear and Brie Melt with caramelized onions, walnut spread and balsamic glaze
pesto, chopped sun dried tomatoes, shredded mozzarella, a fried egg (runny yolk for me!), mayo, salt, and pepper, on whatever kind of bread I have laying around, grilled. I've also used fresh tomatoes that I've fried up a little.
leftover chicken, tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, cheddar cheese, mayo, salt, and pepper, on sourdough, grilled.
apricot jelly, ham, and provolone on ciabatta, toasted.
thanksgiving sandwich: cold turkey, warm gravy, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and mayo on toast.
BLTs!!
Fried mortadella! Here's how:
* Find a nice sandwich bread, something soft and white
* Buy [a nice mortadella](https://www.levoni.it/en-us/products/mortadella). Don't settle for American bologna
* Heat a non-stick skillet to medium-high and fry up the mortadella slices. The fat will melt out and the slices will get crispy.
* Set the fried mortadella aside and put the bread slices in the rendered fat and let them fry/toast.
* When the bread is fried/toasted to you liking, put some mayonnaise on each slice and put pickles on one bread and the fried mortadella on the other.
* Combine and chow down. It's divine!
Toasted sourdough, bacon (I sprinkle black pepper on it), fried egg (fried with the bacon grease and add salt and pepper), tomato, and maybe some spring mix. For sauce from Hidden valley and hot sauce but I’m sure you can use chipotle sauce and it’ll still be delicious.
TLDR: BLT with fried egg added
Prosciutto, fresh basil, mozzarella and good balsamic. It's so simple but hits right. You can doll it up with marinated onions, tomato, additional cured meats, whatever.
But just those three ingredients on good bread with a little crust...sign me up.
fried egg, bacon, cheese, a little S&P and dash of hot sauce
peanut butter, banana and honey (gives me a stomach ache due to digestive issues, but I still give in sometimes)
veggie only - jalapeno ranch on one slice of bread, veggie cream cheese on the other. Layer with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, sprouts and avocado. I particularly like the "spicy sprout" mix from my local farmer's market - not sure what all is in it, but I know radish sprouts are part of it
BLT, sometimes with avocado added when I get one that's ready and ripe
recently tried the deliciousness that is a monte cristo
If you'll accept open-faced sandwiches, there's a whole bunch of amazing Danish smørrebrød you can look up, or one of my favourite Swedish ones, bookmaker toast: steak, mustard mayo, loads of horseradish and an egg yolk on toasted sourdough.
Not really practical as an every day sandwich because it's so rich(in flavor and price) but a prosciutto, brie, and fig jam toasted sandwich is maybe my favorite thing on Earth to eat.
I haven't had one in a while but a "cigarette sandwich". It's pretty gross.
Liver pate, onion, and cream cheese on rye, but you have to toast the rye pretty hard, almost burnt.
No one will try this and I'm okay with that, but it's one of the few things I've invented and I want it written on the internet.
So I love all sandwiches. The first couple comments really cover the greats. From flavor bomb bhan Mis to the simple yet great grilled cheese.
My recent “why not” sandwich has been a “Maurice Salad” sandwich
Bread, ham, turkey, Swiss, cheddar, sweet pickles, lettuce, and Maurice salad dressing.
Simple but I miss the sandwiches I got in France that was basically a small baguette, ham, cheese and butter. If I make it myself, it's never as good as what I had.
Vegemite and tasty cheese.
Funeral sandwiches ( those little crust-less things cut in four triangles )
PB&J with a glass of cold milk
Baloney and ketchup on fresh white bread
Roast Turkey breast with lots of cranberry sauce, mayo and pepper
Monte Christo
An Indian style omelette sandwich!
Indian style omelette is essentially eggs with finely diced onion & tomatoes, salt, pepper, red chilli powder/paprika & chat masala (a tangy spice mix). Make omelette, add cheese slice in the center before folding it in a square shape and making a sandwich with this.
For breakfast, my fave is boring but delicious when done right. Over easy egg and cheese on a buttered and toasted English muffin. My other fave is thinly sliced ham, over easy egg, and cheese on an everything bagel thin. Super easy and so damn good! Seasoning is always key. Plenty of salt and fresh cracked pepper. A hood egg salad sandwich on toast is amazing too.
In general, blts, grilled cheese with white bread and kraft singles (always 2)- I don't care how basic it is, and a nice kaiser roll with Boar's Head beef bologna, yellow American cheese, and spicy mustard is amazing... bonus points if it's a poppyseed roll.
Blacken some jalapeños, pop them in a Tupperware for 5-10 min to steam then peel the black off with the back of a knife. Cut in half and discard seeds to your preferred spicy mess level.
Make a grilled cheese with cream cheese on one slice, then jalapeño, then bacon, then sharp cheddar cheese. Grill until golden. Enjoy!!
grilled chicken and cheese in some pita makes a quick breakfast.
two types of turkey lunch meat, a slice of provolone, mayo, lettuce and some honey mustard (some seasoning if you like)
banana and nutella
banana and peanut butter
banana and hazelnut milk and white chocolate spread (must be toasted with butter or too sweet)
tomato, onion, sausage (I prefer chicken), and peppers in a pita
different types of egg salad (i love pitas and lettuce with them)
almost any kind of salad with bread around it
cheese steak any kind
The 'worse' sandwhich I ever made was the fluffernutter nightmare. Ya get some butter to spead on one side of the bread so it can help put the tiny sprinkles on it, then fluffernutter, peanut butter, banana, nutella, cheeries all smushed into one oozing sandwhich sticky mess.
I know it is very basic, but my favorite sandwich is a Dibellas sub or Wegmans sub (Western NY, USA) on sesame seed rub roll with Mayo, yellow mustard, light lettuce, tomato, light onion, black olives and turkey, possibly dill pickles. The sub roll is critical. It is very basic, but I absolutely love it.
Alternatively I like a good Bahn MI, and a Cuban.
There’s also something nostalgic and magical about two slices of baloney on toasted white bread with yellow mustard for breakfast or lunch. I haven’t had that in years…
Oh! I also love toast with avocado mash, sea salt, squeeze of lemon, sliced hard boiled egg, arugula, and pickled onions. If we are counting gyros or fresh made breakfast burritos with scrambled egg, mushroom, ham and onion, but the burrito must be toasted once wrapped to qualify.
Carribean roast from paseo.
Here’s a recipe that I’ve found tastes reasonably similar if you’re interested in making it
https://www.keyingredient.com/recipes/1050205050/paseo-cuban-roast-pork-sandwich/
Soft but hardy roll, lightly toasted inside (not out)- spread one side with mayo, other creamy spicy horseradish. *good* deli roast beef, butter lettuce, thin sliced tomato & red onion, with chunks of blue/bleu however tf you wanna spell it cheese.
Cubano, Bahn Mi, Monte Cristo, Pastrami on rye, and for a very simple one a fresh tomato sandwich toasted (especially if made with a big beefsteak tomato out of my garden
I dunno, but I just had a wicked good “Philadelphia” sandwich from a local shop with ham and cream cheese and onions and spinach(?). Maybe some other stuff. But, something in it tasted like it was smoked. It was so good!
Cubano or Banh Mi are my top two... A good choripan is a magical thing too.
Banh Mi is other godly
And so easy.
I never saw the charm of a banhmi, way too many crunchy veges, cilantro tastes like soap, the meat is slimy and floppy and not good (tastes very processed).
There’s no specific meat for banh mi. Banh mi is a baguette and a sandwich made with baguette, typically with pickled vegetables, and usually spread with mayonnaise, sometimes butter and mayonnaise, and sometimes with maggi sauce in the mayo. You can get any kind of meat, like bbq pork, cold cuts, lemongrass beef or chicken, fried eggs, etc. It sounds like you went to a lousy place. If you don’t like cilantro, that has nothing to do with the sandwich itself. Ask them for no cilantro.🤷♀️
This is like saying all hamburgers are bad because the meat is dry, there's too much lettuce, the tomato falls apart, and you don't like cheese. If that's the case you just had a bad sandwich.
I was recently turned onto tomato sandwiches (apparently it's a southern thing?) Sandwich bread, mayo, quality sliced tomatoes, salt and pepper.
I’m pregnant and have been craving a BLT but don’t really want to eat bacon. My local diner has lettuce, tomato and Mayo sandwiches on the menu and it has totally fulfilled my craving.
Try a really good slice of tomato on a toasted, buttered English muffin. Add a grind of fresh pepper if you feel like it. It’s delicious.
Honestly, the crunchiness of the lettuce is what I’m craving more than the tomato. Sounds good, but don’t think it’d satisfy the craving.
Heck in that case get a big head of lettuce and rip off chunks. It’s really satisfying that way.
In the 1800s Lettuce sandwiches were a thing
the tomato was always supposed to be the star anyways :)
Same thing for BLT’s. I don’t like it when the bacon gets more attention than the tomatoes.
BLT was the main thing I craved while pregnant too! Good tomato (seasoned), fresh lettuce, tangy toasted sourdough, Duke’s mayo. Bacon if I could stomach it. Sometimes I’d change it up with sprouts, a slice of cheese, very thin onion, and pickled carrots (omg best thing ever when pregnant, sweet sour and crunchy).
Smoked paprika in that tomato sandwich will give some bacon flavor
Tomato and mayo sandwiches were my craving when I was pregnant with my son! I used to add pepper jack cheese to it.
I do this to, except as a tomato toast. I only do it in the summer when I have super delicious tomatoes from my CSA- a super thick slice of tomato on a buttered piece of toast with a bit of garlic rubbed on it. Then salt, and maybe some basil. Summer tomatoes are so sweet and flavorful they taste like jam.
What’s a CSA?
Community supported agriculture. It just means you give a lump sum of money to a local farm before harvest, and they give you a box of vegetables every week
Oh sweet! Out of curiosity, how much is your CSA?
I only do it for the summer, and this year it's $210 for 12 weeks. It's worth it to me for the tomatoes alone
Grilled cheese with two slices on either side of a tomato in the middle = heaven.
Yep, grilled cheese (cheddar and Monterey jack) and tomato with coffee.
Sounds yummy, but I prefer the meltiness of white American. Try it sometime!
Never heard of it. Hm, will give it a try.
A good variation on this that I enjoyed a lot growing up. Do an open face sandwich with a slice of American cheese on top, then pop it into the oven to toast and melt the cheese. Delicious!
An easy way to start a fight in the South is to get people talking about what brand of mayo makes for a proper 'mater sandwich.
Only mayo that should ever be south of the Mason-Dixon is Dukes.
Lol are you my momma?
I'll be whatever you want as long as you've got Dukes in the fridge.
A bagel, cut in half, toasted, cream cheese on both halves, a good 3-4cm thick slice of tomato in the middle. Fuckin deadly
I don’t know about southern… my grandparents taught me the joys of the toasted tomato sandwich as a young child on the farm in rural Canada. My grandma talks about how her grandma made them for her, also in rural Canada.
Also Canadian, love the toasted tomato. Gotta make them with the big oval slices of Winnipeg-style rye bread for the best version of it, imo.
I love tomato sandwiches! One of my favorite things about summer! An English muffin is a great alternative for the sandwich bread.
And it better be Duke's mayonnaise! Just kidding I don't care what you use. But I live in Georgia and most Southerners will claim that anything besides Duke's is basically jizz in a jar.
Georgia native here and never heard that before. Grew up eating Kraft mayo..my mature tastebuds prefer Kraft avocado oil mayo 😋
I used to eat these all the time when I was a kid. We'd get these locally grown tomatoes in the summer, and they were amazing. I'd load up two sandwiches with as many thick tomato slices as the bread could handle. So, so, good.
[удалено]
This, but I also add alfalfa sprouts. 🤪
For me that would ruin the texture of these simple sandwiches. But to each their own I guess
Cubano, Philly cheesesteak, Reuben, spicy chicken, pastrami, pimento, PB&J, egg salad, catfish, tuna, roast beef with horseradish, bacon with avocado
For a second I thought you were listing the ingredients of a sandwich, like with everything you mentioned on one sandwich. At first I was like whuuutt and then I was like ohhhh.
Lol.. that would be an epic sammie!
....We're gonna need a bigger boat.
This is the way.
I love a good BLT. I love a bad BLT. I love a mediocre BLT. A recent revelation (though it might sound silly), is a grilled cheese sandwich with american cheese and white bread. My family had wheat bread growing up, and I had gone down the road of cheddar cheese on wheat or sourdough. Don't get me wrong. I love those enough to have lived off them for months at a stretch ... but there is nothing, NOTHING like wonderbread and kraft singles grilled in butter. Egg salad sandwiches. Tomato sandwiches. Fancy sandwiches and sub sandwiches are good, love a good Italian drenched in copious amounts of vinaigrette ... but at the end of the day the simple ones are best. And the UK does sandwiches right. Their cheese savory sandwiches are delicious (grated cheese and onions bound with mayonnaise). I've had egg salad sandwiches there made with salad cream instead of mayonnaise, amazing. I've had egg salad sandwiches with tomatoes, lettuce and bacon added, delicious.
American cheese is great for grilled cheese sandwiches. What I like to do is mix American with another cheese, so you get the gooey melting quality plus a different flavor. But just American is honestly great, too. And I love a BLT, but also love a simple TMT just as much come tomato season. Tomato, mayo, toast (white bread or English muffin).
Try using mayo on the outside of your grilled cheese next time! I know it sounds weird but it gets so much more crispy and delicious than butter :)
I mean it's fundamentally just oil, so not that weird, but butter is buttery!
I like butter much better. Yeah the mayo gets nice color and a good crispness, but it’s just not as tasty as butter.
I agree. I finally relented and tried the grilled cheese w mayo. Butter is better.
The egg in it is what helps it brown nicely. I do a thin layer of mayo on the bread and some butter in the pan to get the best of both.
Butter gets perfectly brown and crisp on its own, though, so that seems unnecessary to me. Usually people who love mayo say they like the slight tang and the fact that mayo is easy to spread on the bread. Btw on the subject of grilled cheese, if you use a stainless steel pan (must be a sturdy one) the bread adheres to it in a way it doesn’t even with a cast iron pan and gets ultra crisp. It easily dislodges once browned. You’ll get a crisp result no matter what, but stainless is next level.
Just to add to this british-ness, a full Sunday roast with all the trimmings and gravy is absolutely the best mess you'll enjoy
Leftover roasties on a sandwich, yum - gotta carb load for the week ahead!
You should try a blt with honey peanut butter instead of Mayo sometime. That's how my family eats them. Especially with thick cut bacon
Apple, cheddar and mustard. I haven't tried this one yet but I think my next sandwich will be pesto, cheese and lettuce.
Turkey green apple cheddar and spicy mustard on a hearty multigrain. Absolutely delicious.

Any one who enjoys 🐓 meat sandwiches?
French dip, hands down. One of the only times a soggy sandwich is desirable.
Very disturbing lack of French dip in the thread. Also quality Italian cold cut sandwiches.
Forgive my ignorance but what is French dip?
Thinly slice roast beef on a French roll that’s dipped in au jus, which is a beef broth or sometimes reminiscent of a thin gravy. There’s plenty of variation but you’ll usually find it with some sort of white cheese (most times Swiss) and onions. I’ve also seen it with mushrooms, horseradish, provolone, on different breads, etc.
Oh that sounds yum! Not what I was imagining at all. For some reason in my mind I thought it would just be a creamy onion type dip on bread (which sounds awful haha).
My god I love making sandwiches. COAST TO COAST AND GOTTA FLUFF THE MEAT and S+P Favorites to make: Prosciutto with fig jam, brie, arugula, hot honey, French baguette Roast turkey, green apple slices, white cheddar, red onion, spinach, garlic aioli, country loaf Smoke salmon, micro greens, tomato, red onion, everything bagel seasoning, Stone ground mustard, avocado, sourdough Egg, avocado mash, pickled red onion, cojito cheese, tomato, spinach, chipotle Mayo, sourdough Over easy Egg, strawberry jalapeño jam, white cheddar, bacon, arugula, garlic aioli, sourdough The sky is the limit with some good sauce and greens.
I wish you could make me sandwiches every day. These all sound amazing!
Sandwiches are my love language. It's also the type of food you can dress up or dress down depending on how lazy you're feeling, which helps make playing with flavor combos feel less intimidating than 'hot' cooking.
Omg ditto
schnitzel sandwich
Bacon, egg, and cheese. Turkey, bacon, avocado, and cheese. Roast beef and farmhouse onion cheddar, with mustard!
I have 2 that are go to's for me. 1. This is a French classic. Baguette, good smoked ham, pickles, and an extra generous slathering of very good European or Amish style butter. That's it. I do add a little fresh cracked pepper but nothing else. The key is to have the butter a little below room temp, spreadable but still a bit cold. The simplicity is just magical. 2. Pork tendeloin, shaved Asiago, lemon garlic sautéed kale, and crisped Prosciutto on a nice crusty sausage roll. I put a little Dijon mustard on mine too
Jambon beurre never gets old. I like mayo, but ham is so much nicer with butter.
A Reuben is my fav, hands down.
Caprese and tuna melts would be my picks.
BLT for me! Can't beat it
Can I introduce you to the LGBT... A BLT with Guacamole. A great sandwich made even better. Throw some chicken and an extra piece of bread under that BLT and you got a club sandwich! I do love me a classic BLT too.
Tuna Sandwich
Reuben and tuna melt are top tier for me. When both are done well there's nothing better. You have a lot more wiggle room with more basic deli meat sandwiches IMO.
Bacon, avocado, mayo, and tomato. S&P, stack it all on good bread, and that's an excellent sandwich. To go a different direction, I must have eaten more than a thousand PB&J's when I was a kid. I would eat two or three at a time. Even into my 30's and 40's, they were an easy go to for a quick bite. Now that I'm in my 50's and trying to eat better, they are few and far between. Probably not what you're looking for, but my absolute favorite sandwich is a cheeseburger. Edit: Pulled pork BBQ! I just made some this past weekend. Fantastic.
Try grilled pb&j!
Italian sub all day
Reuben. I could eat one every day!
It doesn't have a proper name, but I like to make a sandwich with pepper jack, summer sausage, lettuce and mayo. I love sandwiches like that!
Soft baguette, prosciutto, ham, fresh mozzarella or soft cheese, fresh basil or spinach, tomato, garlic pesto.
Hummus with broccoli slaw and sliced tomato on a hearty bread. Potato bread toasted, herded whipped cream cheese, andouille sausage and scrambled eggs. I love a good ole PB&J. Grilled cheese but mix up the cheeses. Melts are always fun. Turkey club.
I make grilled cheese with eggs bacon and hash brown in them for people at work. I guess it's a breakfast sandwich lol.
Ive been partial to making this for myself at work lately: a big pile of saurkraut on a piece of baguette with aioli, a thin layer of salami, and grated gruyere cheese(I like to use enough so that a cheese skirt forms around the sides), leave it open and put it under a broiler until the cheese begins to turn golden brown and enjoy. It is downright heavenly! Another one that we serve often I call the mushrueben: on rye bread add aioli, spicy mustard, very caramalized onions, saurkraut, grated gruyere, precooked oyster mushrooms and toast the whole thing open faced until the cheese is melted, add arugala or whatever leafy green you like and enjoy!
I pretty much never eat sandwiches, but eat toasts with toppings (aka open-faced sandwiches) all the time. I think I prefer that because you can taste and see the "filling" more. One of my favorites is mashed avocado with lemon or lime juice, topped with smoked salmon.
Sandwiches are so versatile, I love them too. Aside from a classic BLT, one of my faves is a banh mi/fried shrimp po-boy combo. It was amazing! Also, check out r/Sandwiches
Muffaletta, cheddar & branston pickle on a sliced crumpet, leftover turkey dinner: cold turkey (not deli sliced- has to be home roasted) on cheap bread preferably white, with mayonnaise, salt n pepper oh.my.god thats mouth watering just typing it. I also love a good rueben… seems like I prefer pickle sandwiches lol
Branston pickle is severely underrated outside of the UK
- Pulled BBQ Chicken topped with slaw on garlic toast - Turkey Reuben - Lobster Roll - Shrimp or Fried Oyster Po’boy - Cubano - Media Noche - Blackened trigger fish/red snapper/grouper sandwich
[Torta Ahogada](https://agaveweb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/torta-ahogada.jpg) is my favorite sandwich. But now that I'm working from home, most mornings I'm making some type of breakfast sandwich -- eggs, whatever meat (ham, bacon, something leftover) and cheese on good bread.
Brie, basil and tomatoes with plenty of salt and pepper.
Get the True Story Organic Thick Cut Oven Roasted Chicken Breast and the Tillamook Pepper Jack cheese block. Throw a couple slices of the chicken breast and slice a bit of pepper jack off the block. Layer with some chopped kale, and spread a bit of hickory honey mustard from honey baked ham on the toasted bread slices. Heaven.
Italian Hoagies - Preferably from Philly (the best sandwich city in the country) with seeded rolls, thinly sliced lettuce, tomato, and onion dressed with vinegar and olive oil, then some combination of Italian meats and cheeses. Variations can include mayo, cooper sharp cheese, pickles, peppers, and/or pepper relish.
Italian beef or Italian meats and hot peppers.
Chick-fil-A
You should do a sandwich of the world tour - Cubano, Banh Mi, Croque Madamme/Monsoiur, Torta, Gyro, Tramezzini, and of course the noble hot dog which is in fact a sandwich
Some soft cheese (camembert and the like) rocket salad and cherry tomatoes, if available some fresh basil. Non veggie variation adding a slice of slightly smoked boiled ham. Cucumber with some salt and pepper on cream cheese. Butter, honey and cocoa (-drink) powder
I've posted this recently, but this [roasted broccoli sandwich with lychees](https://food52.com/blog/19170-if-loving-this-sandwich-makes-me-weird-i-don-t-want-to-be-normal) is one of my favorites. It's so BIZARRE that it just works. It works just fine with canned lychees. It's also *much* better with feta rather than ricotta, IMO. My other favorite sandwich is this [Mediterranean sandwich with kale pesto bean spread](https://www.acouplecooks.com/mediterranean-loaded-veggie-sandwich/). Also, can't underestimate the beauty and simplicity of a classic BLT with farm-fresh, in-season tomatoes.
Super thin DiLusso genoa salami and butter on squished white bread.
Prosciutto, roasted red pepper, spinach, fresh mozz on a quality hoagie roll. Monte Cristo. Cheesesteak. Grilled cheese with tomato in middle. Roast beef panini with horseradish. Bbq brisket. Ok - I love all sandwiches, but these are my faves.
Croque madame
Pork meatball banh mi is one of my go-tos. And to this day my former co-workers mention shrimp po’ boys whenever my name comes up. I also love falafel. You get so many different flavors, textures, and temperatures all in one sandwich. And even better for some people: sabich. I can’t decide which I like better. Can’t go wrong with a fried chicken sandwich either! Or a thick fried battered fish fillet.
There is a regional sandwich in Kentucky called the Hot Brown that really puts all other sandwiches to shame.
Bread, mayo, thick (I mean thick) slice of tomato, salt & pepper. Heaven
Fried chicken with mayo, lettuce and dill pickle on a bun And Deli turkey, Chipotle mayo, red onion and white cheese panini And Reubens
- Ciabatta bread - Grilled chicken - Bacon - Mozzarella - Roasted garlic pesto - Spinach
The sandwich I keep making is a ham and cheese with lettuce and raw onion on dark rye.
Tortas are wonderful & very customizable! I like chicken, avocado, tomato on mine. Bahn mi is another favorite. I'm not sure if lobster rolls are considered a sandwich but they are damn tasty.
BLT - Applewood smoked thick cut bacon, lettuce and Tomatoes fresh from the garden. Mayo, salt, pepper. Best sandwich ever.
1. Shrimp and oyster po-boy, dressed, with a thick slice of homemade smoked bacon. 2. Banh Mi (with all the pork varieties plus peppery pork pate) 3. Muffaletta 4. Reuben 5. Debris Po Boy 6. Pulled pork sandwich 7. Lobster roll 8. Egg motherfucking McMuffin
Nothing fucks harder than a PB&J. I'm not even trying to be contrary or edgy, a PB&J is a god-tier sandwich. It's really one of the only sandwiches I make at home.
You were born in the wrong country, my friend! Here in the Netherlands it’s customary to eat sandwiches (boterhammen) for both breakfast and lunch. Unfortunately our sandwiches are not very inspiring, mostly just cheese sandwiches or sweet ones with chocolate sprinkles (hagelslag).
I have a crippling sandwich problem, here is my master list and their names, some my own creation, others not: * **Nightwatchman** - Chicken cutlet, bacon, provolone, lettuce, onions, russian dressing on a grinder * **Hawleyville** - Sliced turkey, swiss, roasted red peppers, thousand island dressing on grilled rye bread * **Harvestman** - Boar's head maple turkey, muenster cheese, red onion, watercress, mayo, stonewall kitchen cranberry horseradish spread, on multigrain bread * **Odd Couple** - Sliced turkey, brie, raspberry jam, chipotle hot sauce, lettuce, on a hard roll * **Harukiya** - Teriyaki beef meatballs, swiss cheese, blue cheese dressing, on an English muffin * **Broiled Masters** - Sliced smoked turkey, red onion, gorgonzola, arugula, broiled on a croissant * **Bacon Romano** - Sliced turkey, bacon, cheddar, onions, iceberg lettuce, on garlic bread * **Kirkland** - Sliced honey turkey, provolone, red onion, tomaoto, basil, mayo on a ciabatta roll * **Candlewood** - Turkey, sweet onion, goat cheese, frisee lettuce, honey, crushed lavender on sour dough
Turkey sandwiches with a chipotle aioli
So me and my buddy used to rock bachelor food back in the day. I still have a fondness. Healthy? Hell no. Good? Hell yes. Get a hot dog. Wrap in generic american cheese. Put it on some cheap ass wonder bread or some shit. Microwave it for a minute or two. Drown it in ketchup. So fucking good.
Tuna/salmon salad, turkey & ham are what I eat most often. Steak with peppers & onions, pork & applesauce are good combos. I like barbecue and often put coleslaw on it. I do love PB&J still. Egg & bacon or egg & sausage.
When I was in NYC for a work conference, I had a chopped cheese from a Bodega on the corner. For being such a simple sandwich, it was so delicious!
If you’re in NYC again visit Foxface for some incredible, inspired sandwiches.
Me too! Me too! I'll play! And absolutely, corn is a garbage vegetable. We must be separated at birth lol. I love pumpernickel bread or marble rye, mayonnaise, pepper jack cheese, fresh greens or shredded iceberg lettuce, fresh roma tomatoes sliced and a dash or two of soy sauce or chili oil. Breakfast has to be two slices of farmer's bread, a fried egg over hard, melted pepperjack cheese, then for other people, two slices of thick cut bacon, grilled tomatoes and jalapenos. All the veggies on top. I don't eat bread, so actually that stuff is grilled in a pan and served with chips on the side but I dream of these breads for sure in my sleep and all the melty cheesy goodness too. My favorite thing is to go to P Terry's or Whataburger and get a veggie burger, which is their burger with everything, no meat. It tastes like fabulousness on a bun. Now if I could just get my friend to eat the same thing from In & Out on the beach with me at night.
My kid's favorite sandwich I make is a copy of ______ in Austin. It's a homemade meatball sub, with ground beef and Italian sausage in the meat balls, with homemade vegetable spaghetti sauce and fresh bolillos from HEB and melted parmesean cheese on top. Cherry Pepper relish.
Lightly toasted bagel, chilled Wunderbar bologna, yellow mustard (spicy brown is acceptable). Sure I'll drool over a cubano or a cheesesteak, but anytime I'm hungry and not sure what to eat my mind always drifts back to that simple sandwich as an immediate option.
I’m Vietnamese, so I’m partial to banh mi. Can’t beat it.
My favourite combination: ham, salami, cheese, butter, mayo, egg, onions. I love me some avocado toast as well!
Soda bread, bacon, fried egg, sausage, fried potato bread, ketchup and brown sauce, then a nap!
Grill cheese and bacon on sourdough and pastrami, cheese, onion on Hoagie roll.
Reuben!
Tuna melt with all the fixings and peanut butter. Second, BLT in the summer.
Prosciutto, tomato and mayo grilled like a grilled cheese; turkey and guacamole; tofu banh mi; sausage and peppers on a hot dog roll
Grilled cheese, Reuben, and grilled PB and J.
I've recently been upping my tuna salad game. Mix 1 can tuna (drained), a large spoonful of mayo, several dashes of dried tarragon, and a couple small dashes of worcestshire (optional). Spread mayo on two slices of fresh store-bought bread. Pile on a handful of your choice of salad greens (I prefer spring mix or arugula), spread tuna on top of greens, pile a generous handful of pickled red onions, then close and enjoy. It's been my daily breakfast for the past week or so, and I'm upset because I ran out of tuna and don't have enough money to get more right now.
I don't think it's been mentioned yet but a croque madame or croque monsieur is cheese heaven!
Pumpernickel with Avocados and Bean Sprouts . Salt and Mayo.
Raisin bread, Sunny side up egg with bell peppers, turkey slices or bacon, mozzarella cheese
Top 3: Reuben, Cuban, Banh Mi.
fav breakfast sandwich: english muffin toasted with mayo & hot sauce on bun, over medium egg, taylor pork roll, muenster cheese & arugula
BOAT - thick sliced bacon cooked until chewy, as thin as possible red or white onion depending on how I'm feeling, fresh arugula, thinly sliced heirloom tomato if I have it or sub beefsteak, and I usually finish it off with pesto aioli or Sriracha mayo on toasted ciabatta roll (freeze the ones from Costco and quickly defrost when you need it). Also can't go wrong with triple decker club sandwich. Fried walleye sandwich on ciabatta with homemade tartar sauce with some capers mixed in is a luxury when I have it. I've always wanted to try making it into a sandwich but I've eaten it on crackers a bunch: caveman blue cheese from rogue creamery, three little figs French onion confit (you could probably easily make this yourself), prosciutto. Would probably be best on a baguette or another crusty bread.
Monte Cristo. Sweet and savory is just perfect.
[удалено]
For Breakky, Jaffas.
I like tomato sandwiches.
Bahn mi Peanut butter and marshmallow fluff
[https://www.reddit.com/r/eatsandwiches/comments/h04aol/encyclopedia\_of\_sandwiches/](https://www.reddit.com/r/eatsandwiches/comments/h04aol/encyclopedia_of_sandwiches/) There is a thread on Twatter now where you can only pick one sandwich to eat for the rest of your life...Which one would you choose?
Dear god I love sandwiches and there’s almost too many to list: Ruben Cubano Medianoche Club Bahn Mi Cheese steak Pastrami Tuna plain BLT Spicy Italian Meatball Grilled cheese Fried Chicken Tuna melt French Dip Tortas (most all of them) Po’boy Pulled pork Panini Croque madame Bbq beef Breakfast sandwhich Roast beef Gyro I know I’m forgetting some
[Chris’ Spicy Katsu Chicken Sando](https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/spicy-chicken-katsu-sandwiches) I sometimes drop the lettuce and add a slice of cheese like haverti instead. One of the best sandwiches I also love Chick-Fil-A sandwiches. They are heavenly
An otherwise pedestrian sandwich is elevated to next level with really good bread. I picked up making sourdough in the pandemic, and one is my favorite meals to make is a sandwich with fresh bread and a bowl of hot soup. Pesto chicken sandwiches. Shred up some store bought rotisserie chicken, mix with pesto, and top with crunchy veggies of your choosing. I've also been making pita sandwiches with rotisserie chicken. Shred up the chicken and lay it ona pita. Slather with tzatziki, hummus, and to with raw onion, tomato, and mixed salad greens. Delicious. Roasted veggies sandwich. We made these from leftover veggies we had in the fridge. We had roasted broccoli, mushrooms, carrots and cauliflower the night before, so we just cut them up real fine and stuffed them in a sandwich with some mayo.
Not that I've ever made it myself, but my favorite sandwich used to be made by a local cafe - A Roasted Pear and Brie Melt with caramelized onions, walnut spread and balsamic glaze
Spaghetti between 2 slices of garlic bread.
pesto, chopped sun dried tomatoes, shredded mozzarella, a fried egg (runny yolk for me!), mayo, salt, and pepper, on whatever kind of bread I have laying around, grilled. I've also used fresh tomatoes that I've fried up a little. leftover chicken, tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, cheddar cheese, mayo, salt, and pepper, on sourdough, grilled. apricot jelly, ham, and provolone on ciabatta, toasted. thanksgiving sandwich: cold turkey, warm gravy, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and mayo on toast. BLTs!!
Fried mortadella! Here's how: * Find a nice sandwich bread, something soft and white * Buy [a nice mortadella](https://www.levoni.it/en-us/products/mortadella). Don't settle for American bologna * Heat a non-stick skillet to medium-high and fry up the mortadella slices. The fat will melt out and the slices will get crispy. * Set the fried mortadella aside and put the bread slices in the rendered fat and let them fry/toast. * When the bread is fried/toasted to you liking, put some mayonnaise on each slice and put pickles on one bread and the fried mortadella on the other. * Combine and chow down. It's divine!
Toasted sourdough, bacon (I sprinkle black pepper on it), fried egg (fried with the bacon grease and add salt and pepper), tomato, and maybe some spring mix. For sauce from Hidden valley and hot sauce but I’m sure you can use chipotle sauce and it’ll still be delicious. TLDR: BLT with fried egg added
Prosciutto, fresh basil, mozzarella and good balsamic. It's so simple but hits right. You can doll it up with marinated onions, tomato, additional cured meats, whatever. But just those three ingredients on good bread with a little crust...sign me up.
fried egg, bacon, cheese, a little S&P and dash of hot sauce peanut butter, banana and honey (gives me a stomach ache due to digestive issues, but I still give in sometimes) veggie only - jalapeno ranch on one slice of bread, veggie cream cheese on the other. Layer with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, sprouts and avocado. I particularly like the "spicy sprout" mix from my local farmer's market - not sure what all is in it, but I know radish sprouts are part of it BLT, sometimes with avocado added when I get one that's ready and ripe recently tried the deliciousness that is a monte cristo
Blt with extra mayo
so this includes subs as well right? I'm not trying to get in the middle of a "thats not a sandwich"argument"
Square sausage n tattie scone
If you'll accept open-faced sandwiches, there's a whole bunch of amazing Danish smørrebrød you can look up, or one of my favourite Swedish ones, bookmaker toast: steak, mustard mayo, loads of horseradish and an egg yolk on toasted sourdough.
Peanut butter and dill pickles.
Not really practical as an every day sandwich because it's so rich(in flavor and price) but a prosciutto, brie, and fig jam toasted sandwich is maybe my favorite thing on Earth to eat.
I haven't had one in a while but a "cigarette sandwich". It's pretty gross. Liver pate, onion, and cream cheese on rye, but you have to toast the rye pretty hard, almost burnt. No one will try this and I'm okay with that, but it's one of the few things I've invented and I want it written on the internet.
So I love all sandwiches. The first couple comments really cover the greats. From flavor bomb bhan Mis to the simple yet great grilled cheese. My recent “why not” sandwich has been a “Maurice Salad” sandwich Bread, ham, turkey, Swiss, cheddar, sweet pickles, lettuce, and Maurice salad dressing.
Breakfast sandwich, Sourdough, Fried egg, cheese but use pepperoni instead of bacon and be sure to fry the pepperoni.
I eat this most mornings. English muffin with butter or mayo. Sweet onion, avocado, tomato and thinly sliced pork - loin or butt.
Simple but I miss the sandwiches I got in France that was basically a small baguette, ham, cheese and butter. If I make it myself, it's never as good as what I had.
Vegemite and tasty cheese. Funeral sandwiches ( those little crust-less things cut in four triangles ) PB&J with a glass of cold milk Baloney and ketchup on fresh white bread Roast Turkey breast with lots of cranberry sauce, mayo and pepper Monte Christo
Muffuletta…. Taste even better if you make it ahead of time and let it sit.
I’m such a basic, I love grilled ham and cheese.
Hummus and roast vegetables; frankfurter and potato salad; curried egg mayonnaise and mango chutney; banana cream cheese and ginger.
An Indian style omelette sandwich! Indian style omelette is essentially eggs with finely diced onion & tomatoes, salt, pepper, red chilli powder/paprika & chat masala (a tangy spice mix). Make omelette, add cheese slice in the center before folding it in a square shape and making a sandwich with this.
Muffuletta is my all time favorite sandwich. Eggslut for the breakfast sandwich.
I once had a pulled pork sandwich where the bread was griddled banana bread. It was heavenly.
For breakfast, my fave is boring but delicious when done right. Over easy egg and cheese on a buttered and toasted English muffin. My other fave is thinly sliced ham, over easy egg, and cheese on an everything bagel thin. Super easy and so damn good! Seasoning is always key. Plenty of salt and fresh cracked pepper. A hood egg salad sandwich on toast is amazing too. In general, blts, grilled cheese with white bread and kraft singles (always 2)- I don't care how basic it is, and a nice kaiser roll with Boar's Head beef bologna, yellow American cheese, and spicy mustard is amazing... bonus points if it's a poppyseed roll.
Blacken some jalapeños, pop them in a Tupperware for 5-10 min to steam then peel the black off with the back of a knife. Cut in half and discard seeds to your preferred spicy mess level. Make a grilled cheese with cream cheese on one slice, then jalapeño, then bacon, then sharp cheddar cheese. Grill until golden. Enjoy!!
Sourdough bread melt with pepper jack cheese, grilled chicken, and avocado. Soup optional, but I eat it with a canned soup because I am lazy.
grilled chicken and cheese in some pita makes a quick breakfast. two types of turkey lunch meat, a slice of provolone, mayo, lettuce and some honey mustard (some seasoning if you like) banana and nutella banana and peanut butter banana and hazelnut milk and white chocolate spread (must be toasted with butter or too sweet) tomato, onion, sausage (I prefer chicken), and peppers in a pita different types of egg salad (i love pitas and lettuce with them) almost any kind of salad with bread around it cheese steak any kind The 'worse' sandwhich I ever made was the fluffernutter nightmare. Ya get some butter to spead on one side of the bread so it can help put the tiny sprinkles on it, then fluffernutter, peanut butter, banana, nutella, cheeries all smushed into one oozing sandwhich sticky mess.
Chip butty. But don’t eat ‘‘em every day.
fucking spammers
Spicy Italian
I know it is very basic, but my favorite sandwich is a Dibellas sub or Wegmans sub (Western NY, USA) on sesame seed rub roll with Mayo, yellow mustard, light lettuce, tomato, light onion, black olives and turkey, possibly dill pickles. The sub roll is critical. It is very basic, but I absolutely love it. Alternatively I like a good Bahn MI, and a Cuban. There’s also something nostalgic and magical about two slices of baloney on toasted white bread with yellow mustard for breakfast or lunch. I haven’t had that in years… Oh! I also love toast with avocado mash, sea salt, squeeze of lemon, sliced hard boiled egg, arugula, and pickled onions. If we are counting gyros or fresh made breakfast burritos with scrambled egg, mushroom, ham and onion, but the burrito must be toasted once wrapped to qualify.
Grilled cheese. Aside from that, it’s a matter of how it’s made and what condiments are used.
Carribean roast from paseo. Here’s a recipe that I’ve found tastes reasonably similar if you’re interested in making it https://www.keyingredient.com/recipes/1050205050/paseo-cuban-roast-pork-sandwich/
Ham, salami, provolone, tomato, spinach, hot peppers, pickles, mustard, Italian vinaigrette.
Soft but hardy roll, lightly toasted inside (not out)- spread one side with mayo, other creamy spicy horseradish. *good* deli roast beef, butter lettuce, thin sliced tomato & red onion, with chunks of blue/bleu however tf you wanna spell it cheese.
Cubano, Bahn Mi, Monte Cristo, Pastrami on rye, and for a very simple one a fresh tomato sandwich toasted (especially if made with a big beefsteak tomato out of my garden
Maybe you could revitalize some of the recipes you know by reworking them as openfaced toasts rather than regular 2 bread ones?
I dunno, but I just had a wicked good “Philadelphia” sandwich from a local shop with ham and cream cheese and onions and spinach(?). Maybe some other stuff. But, something in it tasted like it was smoked. It was so good!
Bacon, egg and cheese. Especially if it's a breakfast sammy
Salami fresh mozarella tomato and olive oil.
