Sandwiches are a staple food that is open to creativity with the ability to have many different ingredients. Quick to make with various versions of sandwiches such as peanut butter and jelly, BLT, grilled cheese, and many others. Some sandwiches can last for a long time, allowing you to premake sandwiches and take it as lunch for school. A meal I regularly made for school lunch since freshman year, sandwiches are a quick and delicious food to make. Included with the ability to change the ingredients for the sandwich, you won’t get as easily tired by it when eating it repeatedly. Here is a recipe of the sandwich I have been making and changing up for the past four years of making school lunches.
Ingredients: 2 slices of bread, 1 egg(optional if you want to use a pan or not), 1 tablespoon of any oil, pinch of salt/pepper, ham (amount of slices is up to you), 1 tomato slice, pickles, japanese mayonnaise
Estimated Time: 5 minutes
| Heat up a pan with the oil on medium heat |
Crack egg on pan and let the whites cook and form around the yolk |
Flip the egg and sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper |
| After a minute, turn the heat to off and flip the egg again to sprinkle salt and pepper on the other side |
Have your two pieces of bread out and drizzle Japanese Mayo on both pieces |
| On one piece of bread, place your ingredients together in the following order to have the best stability and spread of ingredients:pickles, tomato, ham, egg, and finally place your other piece of bread |
Sandwiches can have multiple recipes to make many different flavors and variations. This variation lets your creativity and tastes show in making your own unique sandwich. Many changes can be made to the recipe of this sandwich and can be made with cheaper ingredients. Especially with the increasing egg costs that are currently happening, the removal of the egg will make the sandwich cheaper, and removes the need to use a pan then clean it. Sandwiches are open to creativity and are able to be made in the way you can enjoy while being a quick meal to make. As you can see from the images of the sandwich I made, I had different types of twists or changes such as the bread or the ham. You can always change the sandwich to your liking making it one of the best foods to make that is quick and easy.
