Techniques That Matter

• Toasting smart: Lightly toast bread for crunch while keeping inside soft for fillings.
• Moisture control: Layer greens or cheese between sauces and bread to prevent sogginess.
• Resting time: Let hot meats cool slightly before assembly so steam doesn’t soften the bread.
• Balance textures: Combine crisp (lettuce, pickles) with creamy (mayo, avocado) and chewy (protein) layers.
• Use spreads wisely: Flavoured aioli, mustard, or yogurt sauces can transform even simple sandwiches.
• Slice right: Diagonal or half cuts keep fillings in place and improve presentation.

Common Mistakes & Fixes

• Soggy sandwich → Assemble last minute; layer greens or cheese as a moisture barrier.
• Bland flavour → Add a punchy spread (mustard, pesto, aioli) or quick-pickled veg.
• Chewy bread → Warm slightly before filling to restore softness.
• Cold fillings → Remove from fridge 15 minutes before serving to balance temperature.
• Dry meat → Toss proteins in sauce or drizzle pan juices before assembling.

Serving Ideas / Planner’s Notes

• For meals, serve 1 full sandwich + salad or soup per person.
• For brunch platters, slice sandwiches in halves or quarters for variety.
• Add a crisp or pickle side for contrast.
• Wrap in parchment or foil for easy transport; avoid cling film for hot sandwiches.
• Pair rich fillings (steak, schnitzel) with something fresh—like a citrus slaw or green salad.
