15 delicious and practical sandwiches to take to the office

Takeaway sandwiches: instructions

Practical, substantial and tasty, the sandwich is definitely the king of takeaway meals. But rather than buying it in the supermarket, we prefer to prepare it at home, with fresh ingredients. Between the classic bacon-lettuce-tomato, the exotic banh mi or the veggie club sandwich… The sandwich dares everything. From bread to garnish, its customizable preparation meets all our desires.

Choosing your bread

Baguette, focaccia, pita, bagel, sandwich bread… The choice is vast. Our advice: choose a fairly thick bread, this will prevent it from being completely soggy with the sauce and the filling. Toast it for a few minutes, before garnishing it, for an even tastier result. However, wait until it cools completely, so as not to risk cooking the ingredients.

Place for the garnish

In order to bring lightness and freshness to the recipe, we favor seasonal vegetables. Apart from salad and tomatoes, you can add cabbage, cucumbers, carrots, or pickles, for even more crunch.
We also think about proteins, including chicken strips or smoked salmon. If you have time, you can even make your own homemade pastrami and add a few slices. The preparation is a little long, but I promise, it’s worth it. For a vegetarian sandwich, opt for eggs and legumes like falafel or chickpea puree.
The most gourmands among us will also add cheese. Gruyère, cheddar, fresh goat’s cheese… We vary the intensities and textures. You can also use cream cheese instead of butter to create new combinations.

Finally, we finish the preparation by adding a delicious homemade sauce to our recipe. The latter will bring the final touch to the sandwich. Mayonnaise, sesame sauce, or pesto… The possibilities are limitless, and we don't intend to deprive ourselves of them!
