How to Make a Sandwich (with any ingredients)
This recipe is a template for building a sandwich with any ingredients. Some ingredients will check multiple boxes, so you don’t necessarily need 1 thing for each item. For more info, read the post above the recipe. See some examples in the notes at the end of this recipe card.
Ingredients
- Bread (or a tortilla, a hard roll, etc.)
- Something crunchy
- Something rich or creamy
- Something bold
- Something refreshing
- Something tangy
- Something substantial
- Something sweet (optional)
- Salt (optional, depending on how salty your ingredients are)
Instructions
Layer your sandwich together thoughtfully:
- Separate slippery ingredients between grippy ingredients.
- Place shredded ingredients right up against any spreads so they will stick.
- Add a moisture barrier to protect the bread from any wet ingredients.
- Don’t place hot ingredients right up against delicate ingredients.
- Don’t over-stuff your sandwich.
Notes
Sandwich combinations I love:
- Thin tomato slices, thin nectarine slices, whole basil leaves, mozzarella, balsamic reduction, on lightly toasted ciabatta.
- Very thin fig slices (or chopped dried figs), fresh goat cheese, prosciutto, arugula lightly dressed in a vinaigrette, on toasted multigrain
- Garlicky kale, sliced turkey, soft roasted squash, pepitas on rye
- Grated carrots, grated beets, lightly dressed spring greens, hummus, avocado, za’atar on multigrain
