How do you prepare your sandwich?

[Pupperina]

Lots of M U S T A R D
i know some people dislike it i used to put mustard on each bite
I don’t eat pork (with some exceptions) so its usually chicken or turkey in my sandwiches. I usually like to put cheddar cheese on mine, others like pepper jack or Swiss makes me feel sick, esp if i eat it alone.
I prefer subs over sandwiches though because i usually get mine from local places or Togo’s/subway. All subs and sandwiches must have jalapeños in them!!!!!!! I’m not particularly picky about toppings except cucumbers. They don’t belong in sandwiches.

also Japanese mayo > reg mayo

I choose whole grain bread, mayo (typically Hellmann's) white american cheese, deli turkey for meat, and lots of lettuce. For chicken or tuna salad sandwich... toasted white bread, mayo, and chopped celery.

And we venture into tuna salad sandwiches. I find people make it in so many different ways. Personally, I’m not a fan of celery at all but I like the crunch so instead I’ve started putting in tiny cubes of cucumber in my tuna salad. Also a squeeze of lemon juice. I actually had it yesterday.

Hot sandwiches are better than cold ones in my opinion.

@Pupperina I’ve yet to try Japanese Mayo. What makes it different?

Depends on the sammich. For a pbj, I overheard a way to make one on Reddit where you toast a third piece of bread and put your peanut butter on that while you put the jelly on the other two pieces (I don’t know who to credit sorry). My subway regular is this: steak and cheese on toasted cheese and herb bread with pepper jack cheese, lots of onions, pickles and creamy Caesar dressing.

My sandwich looks a lot like yours @jo_electric. I like to use box bread or a bolillo and put some chipotle mayo. About the filling, I prefer ham (sometimes I use tuna) with lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese (Oaxaca, gouda or panela), olives and... a lot of pickles! If there's at home: sprouts (alfalfa or soy), cucumber, and avocado.

And I like potato chips aside~

@Pupperina I’ve yet to try Japanese Mayo. What makes it different?

Japanese mayo is creamy and has a rich flavor, whereas regular mayo has a thinner consistency and lumps together. From what i know, Japanese mayo is made with egg yolks and regular mayo uses the entire egg. Japanese mayo can be used as a dip or to make really good spicy mayo

i either make caprese sandwiches or my pretend reuben.
sourdough bread is the best base. rye bread is an ok substitute.

caprese:
balsamic + butter on both slices of bread because i like butter
tomatoes
mozzarella
sandwich

pretend reuben:
for the meat I generally prefer roast beef or corned beef.
mayonnaise + ketchup goes on separately for the reuben because i'm too poor for thousand island.
saurkraut on top, sandwich it together.

i don't have a toaster so I usually melt a small pat of butter in my cast iron skillet and toast my sandwiches.

@Pupperina I’ve probably had it at restaurants but never personally bought. I’ll definitely check it out. Thanks.

I rarely make sandwiches at home so it's not worth it to buy the supplies because they spoil. However, when I do make a sandwich I'm pretty particular about it. The only deli meat I really like is turkey, but chicken is acceptable on occasion. I never toast my cold-cut sandwiches and prefer to use white or sourdough bread.

- Lay out the bread and cover the inside of both slices with a thin layer of mayo, just enough to keep the sandwich from being too dry.
- Place a slice of cheese on each slice of bread, preferably provolone or swiss.
- Place three slices of turkey folded loosely in half; one at the bottom, one at the top, and one in the middle.
- Add lettuce and two tomatoes spread out to cover as much area as possible.
- Put the two slices of bread together and done.

I get pretty much the same sandwich at Subway, but I sometimes add cucumbers and honey mustard instead of mayo.

Other sandwiches I like are grilled cheese, grilled peanut butter, or fried egg sandwiches. I butter the bread and grill it in the frying pan for those.

Hot sandwiches, not too much mayo, and the cheese has to be melted, I prefer Ham or Roast beef, and any type of pepper or hot sauce to add a kick!

 

[Xara]

my sandwiches always need cheese on it if there’s meat - whether it’s turkey or chicken or bologna, there has to be cheese on it. i also typically use white bread but multigrain bread slaps, too ^^

 

[Clock]

Depends, but most of my sandwiches need butter.

 

[jo_electric]

@LadyDestani grilled peanut butter? How do you make that? Similar to a grilled cheese?

 

[neoqueenserenity]

Sandwiches are my jam! Reuben from the Lilo & Stitch series might as well be my alter ego.

I make sandwiches a lot for my lunch at work, but I usually just use deli meat like black forest ham, or turkey. Sometimes I'll layer pepperoni or salami if I have it! I like mayo on both sides of the bread, layer my deli meat, cheese (usually provolone but I sometimes use colby jack too), spinach, ocasionally tomato/avocado slices (only if I'm having turkey!), and mustard/dijon mustard of top. Wheat bread is A++.

Sometimes though, you just need a plain bologna and mustard sandwich. Also made a grilled cheese sandwich with cheddar/pepper jack/mozarella in my air fryer last week, it came out pretty good!

If I can, I prefer grilling my sandwich. I have one of those panini grills that closes your sandwich and grills it on both sides. It seemed somewhat frivolous when I bought it, but it's so delicious and I use the thing a lot, for other foods too. For the sandwich itself, I think nothing tops the simplicity of a nice caprese for me. I usually put a bit of olive oil on the outside instead of butter, some green pesto inside and of course tomato and mozzarella.

 

[jo_electric]

@neoqueenserenity I didn’t even think about using an air fryer. How long did you put it in for?

 

[neoqueenserenity]

@neoqueenserenity I didn’t even think about using an air fryer. How long did you put it in for?

I think I did about 5 mins for each side cause I like 'em crispy. Probably 375 F for the heat? I followed a recipe in my air fryer book, I can always check when I get home! I have the Go USA air fryer so it's smaller.

@LadyDestani grilled peanut butter? How do you make that? Similar to a grilled cheese?

Yeah, it's the same as grilled cheese. My mom used to make them for me as a kid. You just make a peanut butter sandwich, put a little butter on the outside of the bread on both sides and a little butter in the pan, then cook it to your taste. I like it when the bread is a nice golden brown, not too crisp. I think grilling it gives the peanut butter a smoother, richer taste.

-Spread the bread with mayonnaise and a good amount of mustard, keeps the bread from being too dry
-Put a slice of roast beef (if i don't have it i'll just use ham) and provolone cheese on one slice
-On the same slice, I put lettuce and a bunch of purple onion on top
-Then I put red vinegar and pepper on
-Close the sandwich

The vinegar sounded disgusting at first, but it actually tastes really good and gives it a lot of flavor. Get the same thing at Subway or Port-Of-Subs.
