Sandwich Recipes: Melts, Hot Sandwiches and Classics

A great sandwich is mostly about structure. Toast or griddle the bread, put a barrier such as mayonnaise, butter or cheese between it and anything juicy, and dry wet fillings well. Salting and blotting tomatoes and pressing tuna dry are the two biggest fixes for soggy bread.

How we cook sandwiches on a weeknight

Hot sandwiches need gentle heat. Melts and grilled cheese cook over medium-low with a lid on the first side, so the cheese has melted by the time the bread is golden. Pressed sandwiches like the Cuban get a heavy pan on top for a thin, crackly crust.

For packed lunches, keep fillings like egg or tuna salad in a separate container and build the sandwich at lunchtime. Each recipe says how long its filling keeps in the fridge.

Short on time? Grilled Cheese Sandwich is the quickest here at 13 min, with 5 min of hands-on work.
