Best Sandwich Recipes

"Belegte Brote"

Our best sandwich recipes, including party sandwich recipes, are quick and easy to make.

When John Montagu (1718 - 17920), Lord of Sandwich, created the first sandwich, he did so in order to have a quick bite to eat between card games. At least that's the traditional story of how the sandwich started. True or not, a sandwich really is an easy way to have a meal.

With so many possibilities, the variations are endless. Every type of bread or bun can be used. Every type of filling can be created. Mix and match. Endless!

The traditional sandwich, an English invention, is usually eaten without knife and fork. But for the Germans, this is a bit different. Mostly eaten open-faced with a knife and fork, it's a popular evening meal that is so traditional.

Sandwiches, "belegte Brote" or "covered breads", are also often served for afternoon tea as an addition to the cake platters. Usually buns are used for this. They provide sugarless alternatives for guests and help limit the amount of sweets eaten.

Either make or buy fresh bread. Use any one or a combination of the savory or flavoured butters as the spread. Then add your favourite meat, cheese, or one of the combinations listed below.
