A sandwich is only as good as its parts. To have an amazing sandwich you must have great ingredients to make it happen. With a little love from the broiler and a few extra minutes, you can turn your boring lunch meat sandwich into something crave-worthy. I made this for lunch the day after I made Crispy Fish and Slaw for dinner. I used a rustic sesame loaf from my local Kroger for the bread. Since bread does not stay good for long I usually buy a loaf, put it in a freezer bag, and pop it right into the freezer. Whenever I need a piece I just take what I need and place it in the toaster and lightly toast it. It comes out fine and will keep for at least a month. This way you can have delicious sandwiches all the time, not just the day or two after you buy a nice loaf of bread. If you did not have the slaw you could just make it without it and add lettuce and tomato after it comes out of the oven. Different, but still delicious. What are some ways you upgrade your sandwich, I want to know!
