Bread for dinner? Yes please!
For dinner, we usually try to put a balanced meal on the table. Usually, that is, because sometimes we simply feel like having an amazing sandwich for dinner.
If you make one of these sandwiches in the evening, you’ll have a delicious and filling meal that certainly holds its own against pasta or a traditional meat, vegetable and potato meal. We’ll leave the hamburger out of consideration for a moment, because it’s no stranger to the dinner menu.
Grilled cheese
By frying your cheese sandwich in a pan, in a generous layer of butter, of course, you create an absolutely dinner-worthy sandwich. Especially if you put some home made tuna salad between the layers of cheese, for the ultimate tuna melt.
Pan bagnat
A kind of Niçoise salad with tuna, olives, boiled egg and an anchovy-based vinaigrette. The vinaigrette is poured over the bread in generous quantities, making it deliciously moist.
Steak sandwich
As far as we’re concerned, a good steak sandwich shouldn’t have too many components. In this video, Gordon Ramsay shows you how to make a delicious version with mustard mayonnaise and tomato relish.
Meatball sub
The Italian-American answer to a meatball sandwich. Tomato sauce and a good portion of melted cheese over the whole thing, and you won’t be hungry again until the next morning. This recipe from Saveur is a favorite.
Fried chicken bao
A steamed bun may seem too light for an evening meal. But once you top it with crispy fried chicken, spicy mayonnaise and Asian coleslaw, you’ll think differently. You’ll definitely eat two or three of these bad boys; they’re delicious.
Banh mi
Anyone who has ever been to Vietnam has probably eaten a great many banh mi. And rightly so. Fatty pork and fresh, crunchy vegetables on a light yet crispy roll—this sandwich has it all.
Pastrami
This Amsterdam classic gets a makeover by Peter Lute by serving it with ras el hanout, couscous and fresh herbs.
Hot dogs
You wrap these Louisiana-style hot dogs by Jord Althuizen in bacon—and melted cheese also oozes out of them. And all that while they’re on the table within half an hour.
