One of the many pleasures of this season is all the time spent outside — and sometimes when it’s hot the last thing you want to do is cook a whole meal. This week we have the perfect summer solution…summer sandwich ideas!
If you are like us, you’ve amassed a number of ingredients from BCS perfect for hearty, picnic-ready sandwiches. Ingredients like fresh eggs, brioche rolls, cheddar cheese, salad greens, fresh fruit, and cookies, all make for a delicious summer picnic menu.
Sandwiches are a great way to get creative and think outside the box with what you have. Here are just a handful of sandwich ideas to get your creativity flowing:
- Curried Egg Salad Sandwich
- Chiles Relleno Sandwich
- Eggplant “burgers” with Yogurt-Feta Sauce
- Lentil and Chickpea Salad Sandwich
- Roasted Red Pepper, Hummus, and Avocado Sandwich
- Ultimate Egg Salad Sandwich
- Goat Cheese and Veggie Sandwich
- Cherry Chicken Croissant sandwich to use some of those lovely croissants we get in regularly
- Cuban (Cubano) Sandwich
- Tuna Salad Sandwich (not a “meat” per se but hearty none-the-less)
- Grill Cheese BLT
- Grilled Summer Sausage Sliders
What other sandwich combinations can you create with what you grab this week?
