Top 12 Sandwich Recipes - The Most Delicious Sandwiches For Light Meals

by Jacqueline Samaroo

The practice of eating bread and meat has long been a part of many cultures. Sandwiches these day, however, include more than just meat, with endless possibilities for making unique and awesomely yummy versions of this longtime lunchtime staple. Here are some great sandwich ideas that are certain to be a hit with everyone. They taste so good that we’re sure the Earl of Sandwich would approve!

Panini Sandwiches

1. Panini Sandwiches

“Definitely a big hit!” Just Cher

Many sandwiches feature cheese and meat but this one goes deliciously over the top. Fire up the grill and grab some slices of sourdough bread then begin “building” your sandwich. One half gets mozzarella cheese, salami, pepperoni and pepperoncini pepper. One the other side are provolone and cheddar cheeses, ham and turkey. Put the two halves together and grill your sandwich, brushing each side with melted butter. If you take this to the office for lunch, you most certainly will NOT be dining alone!

2. Pickled Tuna-Salad Sandwiches

“Yes!! A favorite sandwich.” Cedarglen

This is a wonderful combination of egg and tuna salads – as a sandwich! Combine the tuna, egg and relish together first before mixing in the parsley and mayonnaise. Add a little salt and pepper and you are ready to slather it onto your favorite bread for a remarkably tasty lunch.

3. Grilled Zucchini Caprese Sandwiches

“OMG! Soooo good!!” AmyK12

Flavorful zucchini is at the heart of this delicious sandwich. Grill slices of zucchini in a heated grill pan with oil and garlic. A drizzle of vinegar and a little salt and pepper are next. Brush the toasted halves of your ciabatta rolls with some of the vinegar from the zucchini and begin layering your sandwich with tomatoes, zucchini and mozzarella cheese. Warm the completed sandwiches in a pan and serve. Soooo good, indeed!

4. Freckle Sandwiches

“Quick, easy and popular with kids. Perfect party food!” lizzzz

You don’t have to throw a party to prepare this special lunch treat for your kids. Make a butter and strawberry jam sandwich, then a butter and Nutella sandwich. Remove the crusts and cut each sandwich into four triangles. Arrange the triangles to form two pyramids, butter one side of each pyramid and sprinkle on 100s and 1000s (nonpareils) to stick in the butter on the strawberry jam sandwiches and chocolates sprinkle to stick on the Nutella sandwiches. You’re sure to get hundreds and thousands of “thanks” for this one!

5. Pressed Picnic Sandwich

“Thoroughly enjoyed it. It was fresh and full of flavors.” lyvia972

Allowing your children to help you make this is a great way to get them on the road to a healthy eating lifestyle. Lightly toast ciabatta halves that have been drizzled with olive oil. Whisk together balsamic vinegar, mustard and some more olive oil. Before you arrange the sandwich, use this dressing on the bottom slice of ciabatta. Layer on baby spinach, artichoke hearts, red bell peppers, prosciutto, basil, mozzarella and red onion, then drizzle on more dressing and top with the other slice of bread. Use baking parchment to wrap your sandwich and string to secure it. Leave your wrapped sandwich in the fridge overnight weighed down by a loaded tray. When you’re ready to eat, just slice and serve!

The top slice gets a spread of mashed avocado and you’re ready to close up your sandwich and serve. Great!

9. Steak Baguettes with Pesto Mayo

“How could something so simple be so delicious?” EllenDeller

Lot of vegetables and plenty of juicy steak make this an incredible lunchtime meal. Season the steak with salt and pepper then cook it in a heated grill pan. When done, let it stand for 5 minutes before cutting it into thin slices. Spread a well-combined mix of mayonnaise and pesto onto the bread and begin layering on the arugula, red onion, tomato and steak. Close up your lovely creation and slice diagonally to get four equal small sandwiches. Easy, filling and lip-smacking good!
