Unusual sandwiches?
I have decided that we are going to start having sadwiches more often. I need some unusual but tasty recipes for Sandwiches. Please be specific on the types of bread cheese and meats used in your sandwiches. We are open to cooked meats and also Deli meats Sometimes even meatless sandwiches are ok. Please put in all the ideas you have.

turkey, ham, pB&j, roost beef, american cheese, prevolone, motzerrella, muster, colby &montery jack,bacon, chicken, plus try adding veggies too-like cucumber, lettuce, tomatoe, pickle, onion, peppers, or whatever...and red vinegar also adds flavor
you can mix and put whatever you want out of these plus mixing two types of cheese for a grilled chees sandwhich is always good tasting --hope i helped
Banana and peanut butter sandwich on white bread.
You can also make a pb&j on white with butter and pan fried.
Toasted Rye Bread
Honey Ham
Salami
Provolone Cheese
Dill Relish
Spicy Brown Mustard
Banana and Mayo on White
I have never tried it but I know someone who has ate it before
One of my favorites, especially in the summer is:
White or Wheat bread, toasted
Light Miracle Whip
2-3 slices of tomatoe
Sprinkled with black pepper
horseradish -cheddar and roast beef on grilled rye is delish.
i also like turkey on a panera roll with a few slices of bacon, some red onions, a little cream cheese on one side of the roll, and a little canned cranberry sauce on the other side.
another good one is grilled chicken on any type of toasted roll, with chili paste on one side and terriyaki sauce on the other, add some onions and a slice or two of pineapple and you are set. this would also be good with a white cheese melted over it.
To switch things up, start at the foundation. Skip the normal bread and opt for wraps, pita pockets, and focaccia.
Basic turkey can be dressed up with sun dried tomatoes, ham with Gruyere or Havarti cheese (dill Havarti rocks), and chicken with hummus. Pretty much anything you have in your fridge can go on a sandwich. Try spaghetti on rye. It's creepy, but very tasty.
I just recently became addicted to smoked turkey and havarti on a rosemary bread. I use just a tiny bit of mustard and mayo on it. And I toast the bread. I also love bacon and tomato on a bagel with cream cheese. Growing up my favorite was peanut butter and banana. (not toasted or grilled.)
