Sandwich

Hits of crème fraîche, lemon zest, and dill will guarantee you a rich and zingy shrimp toast. 

Fried eggs, pico de gallo, melty cheese, and refried beans, all piled atop crusty bread.

Istanbul is famous for its grilled mackerel sandwiches dressed with fresh lemon and plenty of crunchy veg—best eaten while strolling along the Bosporus, but equally delicious at a cookout or picnic.

This mouthwatering vegan mushroom sloppy is so good you’ll think twice before ever picking up a pack of ground beef again.

Chef Preeti Mistry’s Bombay Sandwich is like a “grown-up grilled cheese,” made with jammy onions, potatoes, melty Monterey Jack, tangy cheddar, and Scallion Chutney.

Don’t rush the cooking process on this one. Moderate heat allows the cheese inside to fully melt without burning the outsides.

Just when we were starting to run out of ideas for what to make for lunch at home, these melty broccoli toasts appeared.

Shrimp tossed in garlic mayonnaise and griddled on thick bread—as good as a late-night snack, as a handheld appetizer, or a quick weeknight dinner. 

For this dinner-worthy sandwich, you’ll sear the eggplant on the stove, then marinate it in oil and vinegar to make it silky-soft and flavor-packed. 

A flavor-packed spicy, sweet, and sour sandwich that takes the idea of meatloaf all the way to the edge.

The flavors in this sandwich get more delicious and concentrated as it sits, so assemble it in the morning and take it with you for the perfect lunch in the afternoon.

Starting your grilled cheese (slathered in mayo, obviously) in a cold nonstick skillet, then slowly and gently heating it up is the trick to achieving evenly golden brown, supremely crisp exteriors, with molten cheesy interiors.

This versatile condiment takes a page from Paula Wolfert’s original version in her book, The Slow Mediterranean Kitchen, in which a surplus of greens gets cooked down to a deeply savory jammy consistency.

Your answer to the age-old question "What can I make ahead of time and throw in my bag to feed myself (and, okay, my friends) when we finally make it to the beach/park/festival/fireworks?"

To get the most flavor out of this open-faced breakfast sandwich, look for spring onions with round bulbs and very tender dark green stalks.

A lemony, herby bean salad with lots of crunch from sliced snap peas is good. But when it's piled on top of garlic-rubbed, ricotta-spread toast, it's even better.

You may not mistake these jammy-crisp, slow-cooked onions for bacon, but they are truly exceptional as a stand-in.

The shattering panko crispiness of katsu-style cutlets plus the fiery heat of Nashville-style hot chicken, all in one sandwich.

Skipping the corned beef in a cooked greens-packed Reuben shouldn’t feel (or taste) like a bummer. Happy to say this one doesn’t.

Like a hot ham and cheese sandwich, but slathered with cream sauce and baked to bubbly perfection. (Yeah, it's as good as it sounds.)
