If you want a hassle-free yet tasty midday pick-me-up, sandwiches can be an excellent choice. There is no dearth of choices when it comes to this food item. You can eat them at home or pack them carefully to take to work. Sandwiches are healthy while being delicious. Here are a few recipes that will become your favourites:
Tomato and avocado sandwich with cheese
Spread mashed avocado on one slice of whole wheat bread and top it with slices of tomato. Then, add a generous quantity of Parmesan cheese over the tomato. Toast the bread until the cheese starts melting. Once done, remove the toast and top with some greens, such as baby spinach. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and top it with another slice of toasted bread.
Cucumber sandwiches
When making this sandwich, it is best to make and have it fresh as the cucumbers release moisture and make your sandwiches soggy. Mix Greek yoghurt, cream cheese, finely chopped dill and chives, and pepper together. Spread this on two slices of whole-wheat bread. Top the mixture with a generous layer of thinly sliced English cucumbers.
Cover it using the other slice of bread with the cream cheese side down. Remove the crusts if you want, and cut the sandwich in half to dig in.
Egg and avocado sandwiches
Slather one slice of good-quality bread with the mashed avocado. You could also add some minced garlic to this if you want. Fry an egg on both sides and place it on the avocado spread. Top with some pickles or pickled jalapenos. To this, add tomato slices and spinach. Top this with a generous amount of shredded mozzarella and cover the fillings with another slice of bread.
Toast this sandwich with some olive oil on both sides until it turns golden brown. Divide into halves and enjoy this amazing sandwich.
Chicken sandwiches
This sandwich uses multigrain bread, slices of tomato, mashed avocado, and cooked chicken breast. You can also use poached chicken. Toast the bread before you prepare the sandwich. Then, spread the mashed avocado on one piece of toasted bread. Top with tomato and the chicken. Cover with a second slice of toast.
Shrimp sandwiches
Cook the prawns or shrimp in butter and let it cool down. Then, add salt, ground black pepper, paprika, parsley, chopped pickles, bell peppers, green or red onion, lemon juice, Greek yoghurt, and mayonnaise to it and mix well. Then, add them to a slice of toasted bread and sprinkle some paprika. Cover with another toasted slice and serve. You could also use toasted hot dog buns for this sandwich.
Conclusion
Sandwiches are the ultimate comfort food. Besides, with so many choices, you will not struggle for options when looking for a hassle-free yet tasty midday pick-me-up.
