]]> The idea of using mayo in place of butter for grilled cheese might raise some eyebrows, but those who’ve tried it are often converted by the crispy, flavorful results. Mayo, which primarily consists of oil and egg yolk, spreads more easily than butter, especially when cold. It also has a higher smoke point, meaning it doesn’t burn as quickly as butter does. This results in an evenly toasted, golden-brown crust that’s hard to achieve with butter. Here’s how to make it. 

Ingredients

  • Your choice of bread
  • Mayonnaise
  • Cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or any cheese that melts well)
  • Optional: additional fillings like tomato, ham, or bacon

Instructions

  1. Spread a thin layer of mayo on one side of each slice of bread. Place one slice, mayo side down, in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add your cheese (and any additional fillings) on top of the bread in the skillet. Top with the second slice of bread, mayo side up. 
  2. Cook the sandwich for a few minutes on each side, flipping once, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted. 
  3. Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let it cool for a moment, then cut and serve warm.

]]> Are you looking for a way to up your sandwich game? Whether you’ve been eating the same sandwich your whole life and you’re looking for something new, or you’re simply an adventurous soul, this is what you should try: jam on your deli sandwich. It might sound strange or unconventional, but here are some reasons to give it a chance.

Sweet + Salty


As many people know, sweet and salty makes for a great combination. There is a reason such treats as salted caramel, chocolate covered pretzels, or apple and cheddar are so massively popular. These sweet and salty combinations satisfy two cravings at once, and open the door to more new and creative food combos. Meat and jam are no exception.

The Holiday Vibes


It’s common during the holidays to eat fruit preserves with your meal. On Thanksgiving and Christmas, we eat cranberry sauce on Turkey or ham. Meanwhile on Hanukkah, we put applesauce on latkes. So above just tasting good, jam on a meat sandwich has a comfort food factor as well.

The Monte Cristo


The Monte Cristo sandwich from France is a perfect example of how sandwiches don’t need to stick to one rigid category. This sandwich consists of cheese and ham; it is dipped in egg, grilled, and served with—you guessed it—jam! If the French can do it, so can you. So try this delicious way to up your sandwich game.

]]> Wrap sandwiches are a perfect sandwich alternative, because they can help you add more veggies to your diet and avoid eating bread. However, even the healthiest wrap sandwich can turn into a calorie bomb if you add the wrong ingredients, so here are a few simple tricks for preparing healthy wraps.

Load It With Veggies

The best thing about wraps is that they’re the perfect tasty dish to add more vitamins, nutrients, and color into your diet by eating plenty of veggies. Fill your wraps with tomatoes, cucumbers, spinach, bell peppers, and other veggies to reap the benefits of this tasty dish.

Skip Mayonnaise

Even though we all love eating it from time to time, skipping mayonnaise will also cut lots of calories and make your wraps way more healthy.

Use Whole Wheat Tortilla

Using whole wheat instead of white tortilla is also an easy way to make your wrap sandwich healthier, without having to sacrifice its taste. Whole wheat tortillas are equally tasty but way more nutritious because they’re higher in fiber.

Control Your Portions

Last but not least, keep in mind that controlling your portions and staying away from those huge wraps is just as important for maintaining a healthy diet.

]]> The best chefs in the world have their own methods of preparing common foods and bringing them to a new level. When it comes to Ina Garten, host of the Food Network show Barefoot Contessa, she’s known for turning everyday meals into something special.

Garten recently shared her secret for making the perfect peanut butter and jelly sandwich with 3 million followers on her Instagram page: “Lunch date! Jeffrey and I make PB&Js, drive down to the beach, sit in the car, and listen to the podcast The Daily,” she wrote.

So if you’re craving some peanut butter and jelly right now, here are the exact ingredients Garten uses so you can recreate it.

Her Instructions

As she always does, she put a little bit of extra effort which helped make the sandwich look and taste perfect. The ingredients include lightly toasted Pepperidge Farm white bread, Skippy creamy peanut butter, and Eli Zabar’s raspberry jam.

The fact that the bread is toasted makes all the difference in the flavor and also adds texture. It also has a practical advantage: it prevents the bread from soaking in the ingredients if you make the sandwiches upfront.

It’s that simple! Now that you know the exact ingredients she uses, you can make your next peanut butter and jelly sandwich with style!

Get Serious About Bread

Bread is the base upon which the success of your entire sandwich is built, so why is it that so many people just grab a couple of slices of Wonder bread and call it a day? If you want to get sandwiches right, you should be getting high-quality bread. And don’t limit yourself to that pre-sliced supermarket stuff. You can use a baguette, potato bun, Hawaiian roll, rye bread, wheat bread—the only limit is your imagination.

Use Condiments, Dude

Sandwiches without condiments are just a travesty. They need a little extra something something for both flavor and moistness. Regardless of the ingredients you use in the bulk of your sandwich, it will be the condiments that elevate it and stop it from being dry. So whether you opt for a classic mustard, mayo, or butter, or something a bit more fancy like aioli, olive oil, tahini, yogurt, Italian or ranch dressing, or so on, don’t forget the condiments! (And put them on both slices of bread, please).

]]> 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.

]]> Sandwiches are a classic lunch option, and it’s for good reason—they’re quick, easy, and portable. But nearly none of the classic sandwiches are vegan. You can’t do ham and cheese, or egg salad, or tuna salad… Or can you? Actually, using chickpeas, you can make something just as quick and delicious as a tuna salad sandwich—but totally plant-based! Here’s how.

All it takes is a can of chickpeas, some sunflower seeds for an optional crunch, vegan mayo, mustard, dill, red onion, and whatever sandwich fixings (like tomato and lettuce) that you like. It doesn’t even require any cooking, so this is a great one for the raw vegan crowd.

Just drain your chickpeas and mash them up until they’ve lost that round shape. Mix them up with some vegan mayo, a spoon of mustard, some dill, chopped red onion, and a handful of sunflower seeds. The consistency you’re going for is tuna salad-like. You can play around with the proportions until you find what’s right for your taste buds. Don’t forget to season with salt and pepper!

]]> 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.

]]> Sandwiches are a classic lunch option, and it’s for good reason—they’re quick, easy, and portable. But nearly none of the classic sandwiches are vegan. You can’t do ham and cheese, or egg salad, or tuna salad… Or can you? Actually, using chickpeas, you can make something just as quick and delicious as a tuna salad sandwich—but totally plant-based! Here’s how.

All it takes is a can of chickpeas, some sunflower seeds for an optional crunch, vegan mayo, mustard, dill, red onion, and whatever sandwich fixings (like tomato and lettuce) that you like. It doesn’t even require any cooking, so this is a great one for the raw vegan crowd.

Just drain your chickpeas and mash them up until they’ve lost that round shape. Mix them up with some vegan mayo, a spoon of mustard, some dill, chopped red onion, and a handful of sunflower seeds. The consistency you’re going for is tuna salad-like. You can play around with the proportions until you find what’s right for your taste buds. Don’t forget to season with salt and pepper!
