Kate’s Tips for perfect Perfect Party Sandwiches
- Try ham and cheddar, turkey and Swiss, or roast beef and provolone. Ham and pineapple, or turkey/bacon/avocado. Feel free to use any combo you like!
- I buy the French Hamburger Rolls from Publix. They work really well and have a little more heft to them than most dinner rolls.
- Try biscuits or ciabatta bread for a slightly different twist. The pic below shows ciabatta rolls.
- If you have it on hand, onion jam would be a delicious substitute for the crispy onions.
- If you’re prepping these in advance, don’t add the crispy onions. Lay the sandwiches out on sheet pans, cover them with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until you’re ready to heat them. Add the onions before you put them in the oven so they don’t get soggy.
- During the holidays, turkey and cranberry sauce with Swiss cheese and the crispy onions would be amazing!
- Add crisp bacon to take these over the top.
- If you want to keep it vegetarian, try avocado, veggies, arugula, and cheese.
- Kick up the heat and use pepper-jack cheese and pickled jalapenos instead of sweet pickles.
- When you serve these at your holiday party, I guarantee they’ll be the hit of the night!
- I use these Crispy Onions.
- This is the mayonnaise I use…and the Dijon mustard.
- These organic bread and butter pickles are great.
- Try adding a teaspoon or so of Worcestershire sauce to the mayo/mustard mixture.
- Feel free to add sliced banana peppers or a thin slice of a ripe tomato. Try whatever you like!
- Roast pork and melty cheese would be great, and meatballs and some sauce and mozzarella would be over-the-top amazing 🙂
- If your grocery store has gluten-free buns, try those!
