Summertime and sandwiches go hand in hand. They often require minimal cooking (if any), are easy to throw together and convenient to take on the road. Getting tired of eating your go-to combo? Time to switch up the ingredients! Take a look below and find a new favorite sandwich to savor for the rest of the season.
With this heatwave still going strong, we understand that turning on the oven is a no-go. It's officially the season for sandwiches — but that doesn't mean eating cold cuts for every meal. To help shake things up, food and lifestyle expert Alejandra Ramos stopped by TODAY to share some creative combos that will get you through the dog days of summer.
Take all the best things about two Italian American classics — eggplant Parmesan and garlic bread — and the result is an ingenious twist you’ll wish you had discovered years ago. The garlic bread provides incredible flavor and crunch, plus the eggplant is hearty and delicious, making this a speedy yet exciting vegetarian sandwich that’s as fit for a casual night in as it is for entertaining.
Egg salad is a classic dish that people either love or hate. If you love it, you might have strong memories tied to this summer picnic staple. For me, it’s deli containers of egg salad served with bagel chips on the kitchen counter while my mom made dinner. This egg salad is an homage to true deli-style egg salad — bright yellow, creamy and simple!
This leveled-up grilled cheese sandwich has ooey-gooey American cheese (of course) combined with prepared napa cabbage kimchi and is made even more savory with the addition of scallions and garlic. It’s the perfect weekend lunch, after-school snack or light dinner.
