3 Essential Tips for a Better Breakfast Sandwich
Take a moment and think of your favorite breakfast sandwich. If it’s made with bread, what kind? What are the fillings? Does it have meat, eggs, or cheese in it? Some of you might be thinking of the classic egg and cheese, while some might picture a vegan medley of vegetables without any egg and cheese at all. No matter what you dream of eating in the morning, here are three tips to make any breakfast sandwich better.

The Secrets of the Egg McMuffin
Now that McDonald’s is serving its full breakfast menu all day long, you can get an Egg McMuffin whenever you’d like one — you don’t even have to be hungover! What’s more, the Egg McMuffin isn’t the artery-clogger you might expect it to be. In fact, it’s safe to say it’s one of the healthier options on the menu. The standard Egg McMuffin includes a single egg, a slice of cheese, and a slice of Canadian bacon on an English muffin.

The 5-Step Guide to Wrapping Your Breakfast Sandwich Like a Pro
There is no better way to start the day than with a breakfast sandwich. Seriously, no one at the office is going to be jealous of your cereal bars and yogurt. However, everyone will be looking at you like a lottery winner if you walk in with that magical combo of egg, cheese, sausage or bacon, and a bun, bagel, or English muffin. Extra credit if your sandwich is homemade. But even if you’ve assembled the elements just so, you still need to get your creation from here to there.

When Serving Sandwiches, Use This Instead of a Platter
We know it’s a little early to start talking about the holidays. Although, to be fair, we’ve already seen Christmas decorations on the shelves at T.J. Maxx! So, just hear us out. This super-easy holiday cocktail party by Emily Henderson is Christmas-y without being over-the-top. And while it’s a perfect party to emulate come December, there was one extra-savvy element that we want to steal right now. That one element? Sandwiches wrapped and piled into a bowl!

30 Hearty Sandwiches You Can Eat for Dinner
We always hear about breakfast for dinner (of which I am a big fan), but I’m also a fan of lunch for dinner (I guess I just like to mix things up!). In particular, I often make myself a nice hearty sandwich, especially when I’m eating solo. Why? Besides being one of my favorite things, sandwiches are quick and unfussy and obviously can easily be portioned just for one. And layering on all those flavors and textures, making it up as I go along, is just plain fun.

Imagine, if you will, fresh Gulf shrimp, juicy and aromatic with coriander and lime, combined with all the pickled goodness of a bánh mì sandwich, slathered with a spicy-sweet mayonnaise and enveloped in a po’ boy bun.

Recipe: Garlicky Broccoli Subs
In my never-ending quest to get my children to eat more green vegetables, I discovered the best broccoli sub sandwich that not only works as a quick and easy vegetarian dinner option, but also works as a tasty sub to serve at parties. Garlicky roasted broccoli is already a dinner staple that my kids love. Partnering it with tangy feta cheese, a special sauce (read: doctored-up mayo), and crunchy fried onions, this staple becomes more than just broccoli on a sub roll.

Your Guide to Making Honest-to-God 6-Minute Lunches
Making lunch happen can be a challenge sometimes when, more often than not, you hardly have the minutes to spare. Although I think you can spare six minutes. That’s seriously all the time it takes to get these five lunch recipes together. These are real lunches, too — I am not talking about grabbing some pita chips and hummus and calling it a meal. Instead, I mean hearty sandwiches, extra-flavorful salads, and more, all made possible thanks to a few key ideas.

Recipe: Brown Butter Lobster Rolls
For me, a trip to Maine is never complete without eating a lobster roll. I typically prefer the classic Maine style — big chunks of meat tossed with just a touch of mayo, piled into a squishy hot dog bun — but I’m always game to try a spin on the traditional roll. That’s where Eventide Oyster Co. in Portland, Maine, comes in. They toss the lobster meat in brown butter, which entirely changes the game.

Recipe: Pressed Broccoli Rabe and Mozzarella Sandwiches
After reading “broccoli rabe” on a menu and expecting broccolini a few too many times, I’d decided I’d had it with the bitter, leafy crucifer. I wanted cute baby broccoli, not an aggressive-tasting vegetable I found awkwardly hard to chew. Well, I take it all back.

Open-Faced Sandwiches for a Crowd
We think sandwiches are easily one of the best foods out there. We love how creative you can get with ingredients that go between two pieces of bread. The same goes for open-faced sandwiches, of course, which are what you’ll find on our smorgasbord. It’s funny how a sandwich just tastes better when you pile toppings as high as they’ll go and throw out that top slice. (Though you are free to use a top slice too — we won’t tell.

The Correct (and Only) Way to Cut a Sandwich
I think I’m a pretty easygoing person. I don’t care if the toilet paper goes over or under the roll. I don’t feel strongly about whether or not a hot dog is a sandwich. I don’t even have a favorite Spice Girl. One time I even ate guacamole with peas in it But there’s one subject I feel very strongly about: Sandwiches should be cut on the diagonal, not straight down the middle. How to cut sandwiches can be a contentious topic.

I Tried That Viral Sandwich Recipe Tearing the Internet Apart and It Wasn’t That Bad
As a parent, I spend a large part of every day telling my kid not to do things that I do all the time: Don’t eat raw cookie dough. Don’t eat too much sugar. Don’t eat things off the floor. And I am constantly telling my 3-year-old that you can’t know if you don’t like something if you haven’t tried it, but this weekend The New York Times went and called my bluff with a recipe for a peanut butter and pickle sandwich.

We Found the Very Best Cheeses for Grilled Cheese
Remember the last time you had a really good grilled cheese? I do! It was still warm from the heat of the skillet, with golden-brown, butter-kissed toast that left my fingertips just a little greasy, and a pool of gooey melted cheese that seeped through the slices with each bite. True to its name, the cheese is what truly makes this iconic sandwich. Take a look in any cheese case and there are no shortage of choices when it comes to choosing this sandwich’s namesake ingredient.

You Need These Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes in Your Life
When you combine certain foods together they become extra special, like taco pizza or spaghetti and chili (which is still debatable if you’re not from Ohio). In this case, we’re talking about Philly cheesesteak sandwiches and sloppy Joes. If you’re like me, you will suddenly find yourself asking, “Where has this been all my life, and why do I not have some right now?

The Best Sandwich-Making Tips, According to the Internet
There are really very few things that are better than a well-made sandwich. It might not have taken a genius to come up with the idea of putting their meal between two pieces of bread, but whoever it was, I thank you. We all thank you. There’s something so incredibly satisfying about biting into that glorious stack of layers and getting an even amount of bread, spread, cheese, lettuce, tomato, seasoning, and meat. The only problem with sandwiches is that they are frequently poorly made.

Got Fresh Tomatoes? Make This 6-Ingredient Soup ASAP.
Right about now you’re probably swimming in fresh heirloom tomatoes from the farmers market.

You’ll need six to eight tomatoes for this recipe — which should be no problem since you bought your weight’s worth at the market this week, right?

Grilled cheese is the ultimate comfort food, which is why it’s such a crowd-pleaser. Whether you’re making lunch for a group of hungry kids or you’re having friends over for a cozy dinner party, you can’t go wrong with grilled cheese. The only downside? Standing over the stove with a spatula while those kids play unsupervised outside or your friends hang out in the next room. Enter: the sheet pan grilled cheese.

Recipe: Summer Vegetables Sub Sandwich with Garlic Cream Cheese
You’re hitting the road in just under an hour, the bags are packed, the house is tidy, and then you hear it: the hungry gurgle of an empty belly. Not wanting to mess up the kitchen, you reach for a few pantry ingredients and the half a container of cream cheese languishing in the fridge. The goal? Only dirty the dishes you can throw in the dishwasher you’ll run before you leave, but also make a tasty sandwich you can eat now or in the car. Enter: the summer vegetable sub sandwich.

Recipe: Sauerkraut and Sausage Roll
The most important thing you need to know about this recipe is that it comes together in under six minutes and involves hearty sausage, tangy sauerkraut, sweet roasted red peppers, and plenty of grainy mustard, just for good measure. Oh, and it’s all tucked inside a tender pretzel roll to gild the lily, because lunches need that sometimes.

Apple, Brie, and Dijon Baguette Sandwich
Swap out any ol’ bread for a baguette when making a sandwich and suddenly it’s transformed. How so, you ask? Well, a baguette makes it a touch French, which means it’s a touch fancy (read: you can grab a bottle of rosé and head out for an impromptu picnic lunch). This sandwich involves crisp, juicy green apple slices, buttery brie cheese, and a swipe of tangy Dijon.

This Roasted Asparagus Grilled Cheese Is Perfect for Spring
There’s nothing like a grilled cheese to make you feel comforted and cozy. One bite of a buttery, crispy grilled cheese and you’re instantly transported to childhood. And while a plain ol’ grilled cheese always hits the spot, it doesn’t hurt to dress it up a little with some in-season produce. Case in point? This roasted asparagus version.

These veggie melts answer the call for easy comfort food after you’ve had one of those days. You know the kind — when you want something nourishing but also a little indulgent.

Recipe: Cuban Medianoche Sandwiches
It’s a very particular kind of morning we’re talking about when we say this is the Cuban sandwich you want for breakfast — specifically the kind that starts closer to noon than it does to nine, and one where the night before might’ve included lots of dancing. That, or those mornings when you wake up ravenous and ready for something truly hearty to eat. The Cuban medianoche is a close sibling to the more famous cubano.

If you’ve ever had a French dip sandwich, you know what a crowd-pleaser they are. I mean, who doesn’t like thinly sliced roast beef on a French roll, with jus for dipping?

How To Make Freezer Club Sandwiches
Taking food to friends, whether they are under the weather, renovating a kitchen, or welcoming a new baby, shouldn’t be limited to soups and casseroles. One of my favorite things to take to new parents is fixings for sandwiches because a sandwich can be breakfast, lunch, or dinner and requires only one hand to eat. Freezer club sandwiches take that concept and make them hot and satisfying and available on demand from the freezer.

The Breakfast Boat Is the Smarter, Better Breakfast Sandwich
Breakfast sandwiches can be stacked between a split roll or biscuit, stuffed into a pita, rolled into a burrito, even folded into a tidy closed quesadilla pocket, but as I recently learned, there’s one sandwich we’ve been neglecting for far too long: the breakfast boat. The breakfast boat is an egg-filled breakfast sandwich baked directly into a hollowed-out demi-baguette.

How I Use Costco and My Freezer for a Month of Breakfast Sandwiches
Bulking up the freezer with breakfast options is one of the secrets to successful meal planning. Costco and an afternoon of cooking is the secret to making freezer breakfasts to last my family a month. Here’s how a trip to Costco and one afternoon of work can save breakfast — one freezer sandwich at a time. While a dozen freezer breakfast burritos might last a week or two in your house, they last just three days with my family of four.

Recipe: Caprese Grilled Cheese
I wait all year to eat my weight in caprese salads during the summer. While I could easily make them through the year, they’re barely average with sub-par, out-of-season tomatoes. So it’s worth it to hold out until tomatoes peak and creamy, fresh mozzarella begs to join in on the fun. But eating caprese in its classic form is just one way to enjoy it — this twist on a grilled cheese just might rival the original.

How To Make a Sandwich for a Crowd
My dad was one of eight children, and his mother and father owned a general store and deli after escaping the New Jersey suburbs for a small town in Vermont, which is just to say — my grandmother knew how to make a big sandwich for a crowd. I spent many summers in her kitchen preparing picnic lunches for two or three aunts and a circus of cousins to take to the lake. These large sandwiches became a staple of summer. They were filling, could be made well in advance, and traveled well.

Recipe: Ricotta and Fresh Pea Toast
When fancy toast swept through San Francisco, littering cafe menus with $4 slabs of thick bread showered in cinnamon sugar or almond butter and homemade jams, I resisted trying it for a long time. When I caved and ordered one, I finally understood the appeal of just-toasted bread and quality toppings. The toast revolution doesn’t have to be for breakfast only, though — here’s one with creamy ricotta cheese, lemony peas, and crispy prosciutto!

This recipe calls for mixing softened butter with grated Parmesan and spreading it on one side of each slice of bread.

Move Over, Sushi Burritos: Sushi Burgers Are Where It’s At
So far, the most “American” sushi I’ve seen featured BBQ sauce and chicken tenders. But this … this tops that. In terms of, you know, eatability, sushi burgers seem to be a lot less effective than sushi burritos. They’re not strong enough to pick up and eat like an actual burger, but I’m assuming that’s a testament to the chef’s respect for the integrity of the rice.

Recipe: Mini Polenta Grilled Cheese Bites with Marinara
There’s no denying the comfort that a grilled cheese sandwich brings. In fact, I don’t think of a grilled cheese sandwich as kid food — I think of it just as good food. The concept is highly adaptable too, so if you’re looking for a new version, or perhaps a gluten-free one, here’s one for you. You know those big tubes of shrink-wrapped polenta you see in the store? They make perfect “bread” for an Italian-inspired grilled cheese sandwich.

A bowl of spaghetti and meatballs with a side of garlic bread is the epitome of comfort food.

Recipe: Giant Skillet Grilled Cheese with Ham and Apple
Cheesy? Check. Comforting? Check. Impressive? Check. Whereas most party-friendly ideas for grilled cheese involve shrinking everyone’s favorite sandwich down to finger food, we’re heading in the opposite direction with this recipe. Simply by grabbing a round bread boule instead of an oval loaf, you’ve got the tools to make a super-sized grilled cheese that really fills out the skillet. Think of this technique as a template for making your own crazy grilled cheese combinations.

Then you should try this grilled cheese and apple sandwich with Sriracha butter from The Endless Meal.

I May Have Grown Up, But I’ll Never Grow Out of Peanut Butter and Jelly
Being a food editor, people have made a lot of assumptions about the way I eat. Specifically, when I made the transition to working mostly from home, there was the general thought that I must have really upped my lunch game. I used to laugh at the idea, but really, it depends how you look at it: I’m no longer buying questionable sandwiches from the corner deli, but I’m not cooking myself a fancy meal either.

Chill Out with These Mint Cookies ‘n Cream Ice Cream Sandwiches
Is there anything more beautiful than a well-crafted ice cream sandwich? One with sturdy cookies to support a thick layer of ice cream filling? I don’t think so. It’s the perfect portable dessert to keep you cool all summer long. The mint cookies ‘n cream ice cream is the real star of the show here, as it’s packed with Oreos and hot fudge. I mean, I could probably eat a pint of that on its own, no problem.

Make This Cheeseburger-Quesadilla Hybrid for Dinner Tonight
When you want something cheesy and decadent, which do you turn to: a cheeseburger or quesadilla? What if I told you that you didn’t have to choose? Yes, that’s right. You can make a cheeseburger in a quesadilla. You’re welcome. Now, I’ve seen cheeseburgers between two grilled cheeses before, but this is not quite at that level. This isn’t a cheeseburger between two quesadillas — you only have one tortilla on top and one on bottom.

Recipe: Slow-Cooker Roast Beef Po’ Boys
Of all the delicious meals I have had the pleasure of eating in New Orleans, by far my favorite is a drippy, sloppy, saucy roast beef po’ boy. Perhaps lesser known than its fried seafood sibling, I much prefer the garlicky slow-cooked sandwich swimming in its own rich, roux-thickened gravy. The po’ boy (or poor boy, if you will) is the reigning king of New Orleans sandwiches.

Why Pickles Are Always Served with Sandwiches
No matter what restaurant you go to in America (and many homes as well), if you’re eating a sandwich, chances are there will be a pickle on your plate. It’s a tradition that started in the Jewish delis of New York City, but why? Turns out, pickles were served on the side with sandwiches because the acidity of the vinegar works as a palate cleanser. The sharp tang of a dill, sour, or half-sour pickle lets you taste the rest of the flavors more clearly.

Do You Need to Dimple Burger Patties So They Stay Flat?
When forming hamburger patties, I was always told that you had to make a shallow indentation or dimple in the middle of each patty — this would keep the center from bulging up as it cooked so that the patty would stay flat and even. I never questioned that technique until I came across even more methods on how to do this, so I just had to test them out myself! The basic theory is that as meat cooks, the proteins contract so that the whole patty shrinks and puffs up in the middle.

4 Essential Tips for Making a Better Turkey Burger
I love a good burger any time of year, but there’s something about summer that makes them even better. Lately I’ve been changing things up with lean, flavor-packed turkey burgers.

7 Swanky Toppings for Restaurant-Style Burgers at Home
This summer I’m determined to step up my burger game. It’s time to branch out from my standard piece of Swiss (or sometimes cheddar), slice of tomato, onion and pickles. Not that those aren’t great toppings. They are, they’re classics. They’re just lacking in the creativity department. Here are seven toppings that get a little more creative, a little more fancy — like a burger you’d find gracing the menu at a swanky (but still legit) burger joint.
