Prep Your Ingredients Ahead of Time

Think about what you want on your sandwich the night before you need it. Then, prepare all of the ingredients and store them so that all you have to do in the morning is put them between two slices of bread.

Toast the Bread

By toasting your bread, you’ll make it firm. This ultimately makes it easier to pack all of the ingredients inside. Of course, toasted bread can also provide more flavor.

Instructions:

1. Place a small saucepan over medium heat on the stovetop. Melt the butter and add the onion, garlic, and a little salt.
2. Cook until the onion is translucent and begins to brown. Immediately, add the crushed tomato and the peri peri sauce.
3. When the tomato is well cooked, add the beer, wine, and broth. Continue cooking uncovered for about ten more minutes. Dissolve the cornstarch in a quarter cup of water and add it to the sauce. Cook for about five more minutes, stirring, until the sauce thickens.
4. Strain or blend the sauce, then return it to the hot pot and set aside.
5. Season the steak with salt and pepper. Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan and once hot, cook the steak for three minutes on each side. Make sure it browns a little.
6. Cut the sausages in half, lengthwise, and cook for three minutes on each side. 
7. Toast the slices of sliced ​​bread and place one slice of ​​bread on a plate. Top it with the sliced ham.

9. Cover with another slice of ​​bread and top with the sausages.
10. Finally, cover with another slice of ​​bread and the 6 slices of cheese.
11. Make a notch in the cheese at the top of the sandwich. Crack open an egg and place it in the opening.
12. Preheat the oven on broiler and place the sandwich quite close to the top. Bake for about 3 minutes, checking regularly to make sure the cheese has only melted and not turned brown.
13. Transfer the sandwich to a plate and cover entirely with sauce. It is also customary to serve with French fries.

Mashed Chickpea Salad Sandwich

This plant-based sandwich is packed with protein and all you have to do is mash canned chickpeas with a potato masher until the chickpeas are the texture you want them to be. Then, put the chickpea mixture on bread and for healthy fat, add Greek yogurt or avocado. Top off the sandwich with greens, sprouts, lettuce, onion, and other veggies for some fiber. To add a bit of flavor, use lemon juice, garlic, mustard, dill, salt, and pepper.

PB&J

PB&Js are a classic for a reason and you can make them even more special by adding different nut butters like sunflower seed, almond butter, or cashew butter and replacing the jam with seasonal fruits like strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries. Top the sandwich with flax or hemp seeds for an added dose of protein.

Tuna Panini

Use the can of tuna you have in your pantry to make a tasty panini. Just add lemon juice, celery, pickles, and hot sauce to take it up a notch. For a real treat, add a slice of cheese to the sandwich.

Grilled Cheese

Who doesn’t love the melty cheese in a grilled cheese sandwich? You can elevate your sandwich by adding canned tomatoes, beats, or peas or you can opt for a sweeter option by adding peaches or pears with a bit of honey.

We love sandwiches that incorporate hummus into them, which is why we want to share this delicious recipe for a cucumber hummus sandwich with you. It’s vegan, super filling, and very healthy. Let’s learn how to make it!

Ingredients

• 1 piece pita bread
• ½ cucumber, sliced
• ⅓ cup hummus
• Paprika

Instructions

Start off by placing the pita bread in a toaster and heating it until it becomes soft and the outside is slightly crip. After you’ve done this, use a knife to open up the bread so that it forms a “pocket.”

Next, slice half of a cucumber and place it on the inside of the pita bread. After this, you’ll want to spread a 1/3  cup of fresh hummus into the pita bread so that it is evenly spread out.

Finally, sprinkle a bit of paprika into the sandwich to taste, and that’s all. Your cucumber hummus sandwich is ready to be enjoyed!

Peanut Butter and Banana

Peanut butter and banana is a classic combination that works perfectly due to the creaminess of the peanut butter and the creaminess of the banana mixing to make a succulent, mouth-watering treat. We especially love this treat when toasted, as it makes the peanut butter and banana blend together in a warm treat.

Peanut Butter and Apple

Peanut butter is popular as a dip for apple slices, and you can also serve it on a sandwich. The crisp sweetness of apple works great with peanut butter, and we recommend sweet red apples like Honeycrisp as the variety to use.

Peanut Butter and Marshmallow Cream

This sandwich is for hard-core lovers of sweet things only. Peanut butter and marshmallow cream are two ingredients that, when combined, create a sandwich that is fit to be a dessert. If you can handle all of this sugar, you will probably love this combination.

The idea is simple, to make a salad that tastes like a sandwich you typically eat for breakfast. All you have to do is take the same ingredients and turn them into a salad instead of a sandwich. You can start with your favorite lettuce or a lettuce mix, add a bit of bacon (or turkey bacon), a hard-boiled egg, some cheddar, cherry tomatoes, and finally, croutons. You can use the dressing you like and add some more flavor with sriracha.

Why is it better than a sandwich? It’s generally easier to use less bread (croutons) and more veggies in the salad than it is in a sandwich. Bread is an essential ingredient for a sandwich and you need two pieces of it to hold everything together, but you can drastically reduce the amount of it in the salad. At the same time, you can fill the bowl with lettuce and tomatoes and have yourself a delicious and nutritious breakfast, lunch, or dinner at any time!
