Whether for breakfast, lunch, an afternoon snack, or even dinner, making a sandwich is one of the most prepared foods by everyone. Of course, this does not take into account how easy and economical it is for everyone to prepare them, including for children. Can you imagine all the options available when making a sandwich? Don’t settle for the typical ham sandwich between two slices of bread; there are many options you can explore. - The bread. There are countless types of bread to choose from: sandwich bread, ciabatta, pita, baguette, focaccia, as well as various flavors like: white or whole grain, flaxseed, whole grains, with dried fruits such as blueberries or figs, tomatoes, etc. - Meats, fish, and cheeses. You can choose from chicken, turkey, tuna, salmon, or ham, yellow cheese, fresh cheese, panela cheese, double cream cheese, cream cheese, gouda cheese, etc. - Dressings. The typical ones can be mustard and mayonnaise, but if you want, you can vary a bit with the dressings sold for salads, for example, making a sandwich like a Caesar salad. There are also sweet dressings, such as jam or peanut butter. - Vegetables. You can always opt for lettuce and tomato; try new flavors like cucumber, celery, some herbs like basil, and you can also include some fruit like: apple, pear, grapes, or even some nuts or raisins; it will all depend on your children's tastes. - Presentation. This can also vary according to the taste and flavors of your sandwich, but you can make it with toasted bread; once made, you can grill it to melt the cheese, heat it up a bit, or even serve it plain. You can even make shapes with a cookie cutter or special molds designed to imprint on the bread. We hope that with all these ideas, you can prepare the best sandwiches for your family.
