COLD SANDWICHES
OPENED- FACED SANDWICHES
Open sandwiches make use of one kind of bread
with the filling on top. The slices of white bread can
be cut into squares, triangles or rounds.
A plain sandwich is made up of two slices of bread,
preferably a day-old bread, toasted if desired, and on
which butter can be readily spread. Its crusts may or
may not be removed, depending upon your preference.
Butter, mayonnaise or a prepared sandwich spread may
be used as lining to prevent the bread from absorbing
moisture from the filling. Moreover, it ensures that the bread and the filling will stick together.
PINWHEEL SANDWICHES
Pinwheels are made of bread cut lengthwise, about 3/8
inch thick. Fresh cream bread is preferable because they
are easy to roll and will not crack. Trim crusts and flatten
long slices with rolling pin. Spread bread with softened
butter or margarine and your choice of any smooth filling,
like creamed cheese, marmalades, cheese pimiento,
peanut butter, jams and jellies. Smooth filling are ideal for
pinwheel sandwiches, because they do not have bulk and
can be spread thinly. Roll up bread like ajelly roll.
TEA SANDWICHES
Tea sandwiches are small fancy sandwiches made from light, delicate ingredients and bread that has
been trimmed of crusts. And may be made ahead of time and frozen. They are often cut into fancy shapes,
squares, rectangles and oblongs add to the variety. Fillings and spreads can be the same as those for
canapés.
MULTI-DECKER SANDWICHES
Are made with more than two slices of bread (or
rolls split into more than two pieces) and with
several ingredients in the filling. The club
sandwich is a popular multi-decker sandwich,
made of three slices of toast and filled with
sliced chicken, mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato
and bacon and cut into four triangles.
WRAPE/ROLLED
SANDWICHES
Wraps are
sandwiches in which the fillings
are wrapped, like a Mexican
burrito, in a large flour
HOT SANDWICHES
Simple hot sandwiches consist of hot fillings,
usually meats but sometimes fish,
grilled vegetables, or other hot items,
between two slices of bread. They may also
contain items that are not hot, such as a slice
of tomato or raw onion on a hamburger.
HOT OPENED-FACED
SANDWICHES
