1 tsp mustard (optional)
-
Salt and black pepper, to taste
-
Butter (optional, for toasting)
Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Bread Rolls
-
Slice the rolls horizontally without cutting all the way through (so they stay hinged).
-
Optional: Spread a thin layer of butter inside if you plan to toast the sandwich for extra flavor and crunch.
Step 2: Add Spreads
-
Spread mayonnaise on one side of the roll.
-
If you like a tangy kick, add mustard on the other side.
Step 3: Layer the Vegetables
-
Place a few fresh lettuce leaves or baby spinach.
-
Add tomato and onion slices evenly.
-
Add cucumber or pickles for crunch and tanginess.
-
Lightly sprinkle salt and pepper over the vegetables.
Step 4: Add Protein and Cheese
-
Place chicken, beef, or turkey slices over the vegetables.
-
Top with cheese slices.
Step 5: Assemble and Press
-
Close the sandwich gently but firmly.
-
If you want, you can lightly press it in a sandwich press or grill pan.
Step 6: Toast (Optional)
-
Toast in a preheated skillet or sandwich press for 2–3 minutes per side until the bread is golden and the cheese melts slightly.
Step 7: Serve
-
Slice the sandwich in half for easier handling.
-
Serve immediately with ketchup, mayo, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Tips and Variations
-
Vegetarian Version: Use hummus, grilled vegetables, and cheese instead of meat.
