Instructions
 

Prepare Ingredients:

  • Slice the bread and lightly toast it for extra crunch. Prepare the "knob" (e.g., grill vegetables, slice cheese, or cook meat).

Add Condiments:

  • Spread condiments like mayo or mustard on each bread slice. Add a sprinkle of salt and pepper for balance.

Layer Vegetables:

  • Start with lettuce, then add tomato, onions, and pickles.

Add the Knob:

  • Place your bold central ingredient (cheese, meat, or grilled vegetables) on top of the layered vegetables.

Assemble the Sandwich:

  • Gently press the top slice of bread onto the fillings to hold everything together.

Optional Add-Ons:

  • Add extras like avocado slices, crispy bacon, or a fried egg for more richness.

Serve and Enjoy:

  • Slice the sandwich in half for easier eating and serve with chips, fruit, or a side of pickles.

Notes

  • For the freshest taste, assemble the sandwich just before serving.
  • Use sturdy bread to prevent the sandwich from becoming soggy.
  • Experiment with different "knob" ingredients to create unique flavor combinations.
