Make a classic sandwich feel new again.
In my ongoing effort to fight the “sandwich rut,” I keep trying to come up with ways to make my favorite sandwiches more interesting. The easiest way to do this is to replace the bread with something a little more fun. For example, I’ve shaken up the classic turkey and cheese sandwich by turning it into pinwheels and by leaving out the bread entirely and making kabobs.
And my latest twist on good old turkey and cheese? Mini sandwiches!
Instead of making just one big sandwich and cutting it into quarters, spread out the same amount of turkey and cheese (plus lettuce and mayo) across three little Hawaiian slider rolls. Just having your sandwich in this handy, pocket-sized form will make it feel like something fresh and new.
Fill up the main compartment of your EasyLunchBox with these little sliders, add some pretzels and grapes on the side, and you’ll have a tasty, easy lunch that won’t feel like the same old, same old.
Mini Sandwich Lunchbox Idea
Directions:
- Take you package of Hawaiian rolls and slice the whole sheet in half.
- On the bottom half of the sheet, spread mayo, lettuce and turkey.
- Next add on cheese slice.
- Top with other half of rolls. If you would like to add more mayo or mustard to the top of the roll, do so before topping.
- Cut into separate mini sandwiches and place into your lunchboxes. Add in your pretzels and grapes. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Use within 3-4 days.
