I normally have pretty basic tastes when it comes to sandwiches: meat, cheese, mayo, a spread of some kind and/or lettuce if I have some on hand. But it’s nice to throw in something different now and then.
Sticking to one or two ingredients (this is the dull men’s club after all) how do you all like to kick up your sandwiches a bit?
I’ll start-- it’s nothing crazy, but Aldi sells a Bavarian sweet mustard that’s a really nice step up from regular yellow mustard for a ham & swiss.
I will sometimes stir fry mushrooms and add to any sandwich with cheese and ham for some extra juice and flavor. Or slice a boiled egg. Also cherry tomatoes. Or a slice of a larger tomato. Or grilled vegetables…. So many variations you can make. For a break from the yellow cheese and ham I will sometimes get some smoked salmon or whatever fish I can with some creamy cheese and lettuce. Avocado too goes well with… well… all of the above.
Yeah, avocado is great when you just need to add some fatty/creamy texture without competing on flavor. Especially on something toasted.
