Okay, so let’s talk substitutions! Don’t have sourdough? No problem! Any bread will work, but firmer breads like sourdough or whole wheat hold up best. And fillings? Go wild! Turkey, roast beef, cucumbers, bell peppers – whatever floats your boat. For a vegetarian option, try using grilled halloumi cheese and pesto. If you want something different you can try rice cake sandwiches for a lighter dish!

A few things can help! First, make sure you’re not overstuffing your sandwich. Second, spread your condiment evenly to help everything stick together. You can use toothpicks! Finally, cut the sandwich carefully with a sharp knife – a gentle sawing motion works best. This simple sandwich recipe is quick, easy and very tasty.
