When it comes to lunch, sandwiches are our go-to. There’s super easy to make and they’re very satisfying. While some sandwiches are good, there are ways to make them even better. Here are some tips for taking your sandwich game to the next level.
Quality Bread
Bread is the main component of the sandwich, so invest in a good loaf. Slice the loaf right before you make the sandwich to keep it fresh and keep it out of the fridge, sealed. Pre-sliced bread or low-quality bread may be cheaper, but trust us when we say, you’ll taste the difference.
Acidity
Acidic ingredients in a sandwich are often overlooked, but pickled vegetables like red onions or pickles or a sprinkle of vinegar can elevate your meal, especially when you have fatty or meat components.
Contrasting Textures
Contrasting textures add complexity to your sandwich. Some great ways to add texture are onion rings, seeds, fried eggs, veggies, and cheese.
Jarred Products
For layering sandwiches, jarred products like roasted peppers, marinated artichokes, sundried tomatoes, pesto, or relish can add dimension to your dish.
Toppings
Don’t be afraid to get creative with the toppings. Experiment with sambal, jalapeno pepper jelly, ricotta, and herbs.
