To guarantee crispy bread, butter both the sides that are exposed.
Then place your sandwiches on top of the onion, tomatoes, cheese slices, or grated cheese, chutney, if you like, add pepper to the store bought chutney.
Then put the remaining slices of bread on top of the chutney layer.
19. Croque-Monsieur
This elevated grilled ham and gooey cheese is worth the extra few steps, I promise.
Like with the recipe above, you’ll need to make a creamy mornay sauce, which gets poured on top of the sandwich before being covered in cheese and grilled.
The sauce makes this simple sandwich so much more flavorful and enjoyable.
18. Louisville’s Historic Brown Hotel’s Original “Hot Brown” Sandwich Recipe
This sandwich is filling enough for dinner. It is a simple turkey and tomato club with a creamy mornay sauce that covers the sandwiches before the whole thing gets baked.
17. The Ultimate Club Sandwich
I just really enjoy a club sandwich. I tend to order them whenever they are an option on a menu.
I prefer mine with grilled chicken and avocado, but I also think that ham or turkey work well too. A club sandwich is only as good as its bread though.
The bread is key to keeping the sandwich together. Without the middle piece, the sandwich will fall apart and things will start sliding out.
16. Veggie and Hummus Sandwich
This sandwich is so full of goodness and flavor, you won’t miss the meat.
Between the thick and juicy tomatoes, grated carrot, spinach, and cucumber slices, it’s is super filling.
I love to use hummus as a sandwich spread, letting it provide flavor and a bit of moisture to the mix. You can even keep it vegan by omitting the cheese and replacing it with a sprinkling of nutritional yeast to add a cheesy, savory flavor.
15. Meatball Sub
Tasty meatballs on a garlic toasted loaf with lots of marinara sauce is what dreams are made of. Oh, and I forgot the cheese!
Hoagie rolls are the ideal bread for these, being soft and tasty and getting crispy on the edges as it toasts.
I like to spread mine with the garlic butter and toast with the cheese on the bread.
Another great tip to make things easier: cut your meatballs in half. It makes the sandwich much simpler to eat!
14. Semi-Homemade Ice Cream Sandwiches
This might not be the main dish, but it’s definitely a good one to make with the kids. Who doesn’t love an ice cream sandwich?
They don’t have to be perfect, and you’ll spend a lot of time licking your fingers! And feel free to experiment.
Raspberry ice cream with white chocolate chunks, maybe? Or peanut butter swirl and crushed Oreos sounds good to me!
13. How to Make the Perfect BLT
Lettuce should be crisp and fresh, like iceberg or romaine. The tomato should be ripe and juicy, not too soft or too firm. I like to use Miracle Whip for the mayo, but use what you like best. Lastly, the bread should be toasted with butter.
To make the perfect BLT, you need bacon, lettuce, tomato, mayo, and white bread. Each ingredient serves a specific purpose. Thick-cut bacon is best since it holds up better for cooking. Lettuce should be crisp and fresh, like iceberg or romaine. The tomato should be ripe and juicy, not too soft or too firm. I like to use Miracle Whip for the mayo, but use what you like best. Lastly, the bread should be toasted with butter.
This sandwich has more meat and a better texture. For the rest, be sure to cut thick slices of tomato, don’t use too much lettuce, and lightly toast your fluffy bread before adding a generous amount of mayo.
12. Grilled Potato Sandwich
This sandwich is perfect for carb-lovers. It has potatoes, which are a great source of carbs, and it is also very filling. Plus, the cheese makes it even more delicious.
11. Spaghetti Sandwich
I was uncertain about this. Spaghetti in a sandwich? It’s still really quite wild, but for me, it ‘s the best way possible to enjoy spaghetti with savory meat sauce and lots of cheese. I love spaGHETTI with meat sauce and lots of cheese, and usually will have garlic bread, too. All of this paired with the sandwich is more than enough!
10. Easy Tuna Melts
I don’t really love tuna melts. I’m not sure if it’s the smell or the combination of tuna and cheese, but it just doesn’t work for me.
However, I know they’re really popular, so I had to include them for tuna lovers!
Even I have to admit that these toasted English muffin-melts look pretty delicious. Maybe they’ll convert me!
9. Danish Smørrebrød (Open Sandwiches) with Remoulade
I make remoulade, or remy, sauce often, and I have it with everything. It’s chunky, salty, and tangy, and I haven’t found anything it doesn’t make better.
For the sandwiches, you’ll need some rye bread, which is typically dense and dark in Scandinavia. But you can use anything you like.
8. Apple, Cheddar & Turkey Panini
Doesn’t it seem strange that we’ll order dishes like this at a restaurant, but not make them at home?
They’re so simple to replicate, and the sweet and salty flavors will take your sandwich to the next level in an instant.
I like to use a mandolin to get nice thin slices of apple, or you could even dice it up and mix it with the mustard into a chunky spread.
7. Leftover Meatloaf Sandwich Recipe
This sort of sandwich is similar to a burger, but I like that it uses sliced bread instead of a thick bun.
I think that the meatloaf is extra meaty and makes for one delicious sandwich that tastes like a burger.
You could use a burger bun for this sandwich, but I think that using a thick slice of sourdough would be even better.
6. Elvis Presley’s Grilled Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich
I have mentioned this sandwich to you before and I know you were interested in trying it then. If there was ever a time to try it, it is now!
Elvis knew what he liked, and he liked some things that were indulgent.
This sandwich not only has peanut butter and banana, but also bacon and a drizzle of honey.
5. Banh Mi Sandwich
Banh mi is Vietnamese for baguette, and the term typically refers to a flavorful sandwich. They re a go-to street food in Vietnam that commonly has pickled carrot slices, mayonnaise, daikon, green chiles, cucumber, and tofu.
This recipe uses tofu, but you may alter it based on what you have on hand.
4. Smashed Chickpea Salad Sandwich
I worked at a tiny vegan restaurant long ago, and I was amazed by its heavy use of chickpeas. Have you tried chickpea blondies? This is going to blow your mind! But my favorite item on the menu was the sandwiches.
Chickpeas are very mild in taste, which means you can include such an assortment of herbs and spices to the dish. They can be mashed for a similar texture to that of chicken salad.
3. The Best Ham Sandwich You’ll Ever Eat
Yes, this is a bold statement, and no, some of you will not agree.
But when it comes to the spectacular sandwich, between the crusty French bread and the spicy pepper jam, I was sold.
Wait until you add in some salty ham and tangy goat’s cheese. That will be a match made in heaven.
2. Wafflewich
Customary sandwichists shy away from these sandwiches as they are unwilling to look beyond the box or the sandwich area.
This other-worldly sandwich is sweet, decadent, and perhaps something you can’t make every day of the week. If you want to treat yourself on a weekend, prioritize this sandwich.
