Recipes for classic sandwiches: Bocconcini, Basil & Tomato Sandwich, Classic Tuna Sandwich, a Simple Summer Tomato & Avocado Sandwich and a Classic Turkey Sandwich
I don’t know about you, but I find lunch time the hardest meal of the day. It’s really just an annoyance…the same old, same old stuff everyday. So I’m trying to shake it up a bit around here, because, well, the kids have to eat. 😉 So I’m starting with simple, but delicious sandwiches. And by changing the presentation of these sandwiches, or changing the ingredients a little bit, they are more fun to eat, and fancy enough for guests!
You probably have your own staple recipes at home, but in case you don’t here are 4 of the most basic sandwiches you can get. Enjoy!
This one is my most favourite of them all! There’s something so yummy about fresh basil, cheese and balsamic vinegar. Mmmm, my mouth is watering just thinking about it!
Nothing better than a classic turkey sandwich!
