FAQs

What bread works best for this sandwich?

Sourdough or multigrain gives both flavor and structure; you can choose any bread you like as long as it’s toasted to help hold the layers.

Yes—mashed avocado works well. Add a pinch of salt and mash to your desired texture.

Is the cheese mandatory?

No—it’s optional. Swiss, cheddar, or provolone are common choices for added creaminess.

Can I make this vegetarian?

How do I prevent the sandwich from getting soggy?

Toast the bread well, and avoid overloading with moist ingredients. Assemble just before serving when possible.

Can I use other greens instead of lettuce?

Certainly—use spinach, arugula, or mixed greens for variation.

Mayonnaise, mustard, garlic aioli, or pesto all pair nicely.

How do I slice the sandwich cleanly?

Use a sharp serrated knife and press gently while cutting diagonally for neat slices.
