When you make a sandwich, it usually consists mainly of bread. It is therefore very important that you choose a good type of bread to make your sandwich. By investing in a more luxurious loaf - or baking your own - and slicing it just before you prepare your sandwich, you will benefit more from the taste and freshness of the bread than by using a low-quality loaf. Keep the bread out of the fridge/freezer and tightly closed to preserve the taste and bite for as long as possible.
We often underestimate the power of using a more acidic ingredient for our sandwiches. But think about pickle on a cheeseburger, how tasty is the bite of the pickle in combination with the cheese? A sandwich can get a real boost from a more acidic ingredient, especially if you have topped your sandwich with fatty ingredients or meat. For example, think of pickles or other pickled foods, such as red onions, cauliflower or even a sprinkle of vinegar.
Some sandwiches taste best when they are soft, such as a pulled pork sandwich, but most sandwiches taste best when they contain ingredients of different textures. Think, for example, of combinations of crispy and soft or melted and roasted. For example, ingredients such as onion rings or seeds can have a crunchy effect. You can also toast the bread separately from the toppings to get a crispy effect or opt for crunchy vegetables such as carrots or crispy lettuce. Pair them with soft cheese or creamy aioli to make that perfect combination – enjoy!
When it comes to building a sandwich, products from jars can be real lifesavers. Think, for example, of roasted peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, olives or artichokes, but also sauces such as sambal, chutney or pesto. This way you can add an extra dimension to your sandwich without too much work or effort. So make sure that you always have a variety of products in your pantry with which you can make a tasty sandwich in no time.
If there's something great about making sandwiches, it's that you can be super creative with it! For example, think of sambal on an egg sandwich or peppers on a meat sandwich. The combination of ricotta with black pepper can also be very surprising, as can olive oil, garlic oil and fresh herbs. You can make any combination you want, be as creative as possible! We are curious what delicious combinations you can come up with…
