Being a genius is hard work. (I’m not saying that I’m a genius… it’s a gimmick… just pretend with me.) As researchers and writers, my wife Kara and I spend long hours on the PC, at the library, at the bookstore, on the phone, and doing whatever else is necessary to find the information we need. As a result, we don’t have time to cook three-course dinners, and we survive mostly by finding things to put between two slices of bread. You may know this as a “sandwich.”
Long ago, Kara admitted to me that she sometimes ate onion sandwiches as a kid. (We’re married, so she doesn’t do that anymore.) I enjoy a good banana or pineapple sandwich every once in a while (with mayo). As a child, my mom served BST sandwiches — bacon and tomato with a sprinkling of sugar. I even ate plain mustard sandwiches when times were tight.
So for this Weekend Genius Challenge, we’re asking you geniuses to help us expand our palate by telling us some of your favorite sandwich combinations. Don’t give us anything fancy, now… if it’s more than $10 a pound or requires more than three items, forget it! But please share with us the ingredients and preparations to make the sandwich, along with any stories you have about how you developed them. On Monday, we’ll select a few entries and head out to the local grocery store to buy ingredients. And on Thursday*, we’ll have a sandwichfest in our office and choose a winner (or two, since our tastes may differ) to receive a free mental_floss T-shirt.
That’s all there is to it: comment to this post with your favorite sandwich, along with the size (small through XXL), style (mens or womens) and design of T-shirt that you’d like to receive.
Good luck, and thanks in advance for giving us options beyond deviled ham or sardines.
UPDATE: We’ve had to move up the date for our “sandwichfest” to Thursday… we’re helping put the final touches on a new issue of mental_floss magazine, and had NO idea that 350+ of you would chime in! So give us a little extra time to sort through the responses, and tomorrow, we’ll choose our winner!
one of the best is an eggburger…
so simple I am sure you can do it…
fry a hamburger
fry an egg
put the burger on the bottome layer, the egg on top of it, spread some tartar sauce or mayo on the top layer..
and enjoy…

My most favorite sandwhich from my childhood is the peanut butter and melted marshmellow sandwhich. And if you want to jazz it up, add some raisins!
My mother originally made if as a one slice half and half… half pb half marshmellow. Then she would make a smiley face out of the raisins. YUMMY!

It’s not a strange sandwich, but it’s the best. Toast a plain bagel. Puta few peices of thick ham on it and cover with mazzarella and put back in the toaster oven until the cheese melts. Add bread-and-butter pickles and mayo. That’s it! It’s been my favorite sandwich for the last 18 years since I was in middleschool.

My absolutely favorite sandwich is a throwback to Thanksgiving leftovers: turkey breast, cranberry sauce and Miracle Whip (not mayo, or it ruins it) on a soft dinner roll. MMmmmmmm, tastes like comfort!

I have two condiment sandwiches that I eat…
1. Mustard sandwich - must use white bread (Wonder Bread) and French’s mustard…spread mustard generously and eat…
2. Ketchup sandwiches - again with the white bread, spread ketchup on each piece of bread, microwave for 40 seconds…it cooks the ketchup just enough to make it tasty…
I also like Peanut butter with bananas…simple and tasty…
i have no idea what shirt I’d like, so I’ll just offer my sandwich submissions and ask for no freebies…

When I was a kid, my mother made me peanut butter and cucumber with mayo sandwiches. Plain or toasted, with a sprinkling of salt and pepper, this is fantastic and still one of my favorites. I do not know the origin of this combo.
Her particular favorite was asparagus and butter on hot toast. This may sound strange, but then, she also buttered and salt and peppered her pancakes. My father like sliced banana and butter on plain white bread. This is very tasty.
One more thing, not quite a sandwich but easily done if you have a microwave–a baked potato with butter melted in it topped with good coleslaw. I first tried this on a trip to England and was amazed at how good it was. Still make it now and then when I get the craving for it. Speaking of England, they make an open face sandwich there of hot baked beans on toast often topped with a fried egg. That’s good but in no way would I ever get used to another English fave of an open face sandwich of canned spaghetti on toast or the french fry sandwich they call a “chip butty”. Ugh!

Roast pork, broccoli rabe, sharp provolne. Long roll. It’s beautiful….
It’s a Philly classic.
That’s three items, right? The roll don’t count.
Get a pork loin, rub with rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper. Roast in oven while drinking wine. Crush a few cloves of garlic, heat olive oil in pan, saute broccoli rabe. Salt, pepper, rushed red pepper flakes. Slice provolove. A vegetable peeler makes nice shavings.
Assemble, enjoy.

best cold sandwich:

best hot sandwich:
on one peice of bread put sliced tomatoes & a peice of cheese. on the other, put your favorite tasty lunch meat (a salty ham is really good) and another piece of cheese. put the bread in the toaster over till the cheese is melty. put bread together for melty cheey yummyness.

My favorite sandwich is one my Grandmother used to make me on Sunday afternoons (Saturday night was homemade baked beans night in her home).
Take two slices of her homemade brown bread (coffee and oatmeal were main ingredients in this) spread the cold baked beans from the night before on the bread and top with mustard. Side of garlic dill pickles or bread and butter pickles.
I loved those sandwiches but everyone else I know thinks they must have been disgusting. Little do they know!

I’d have to say my favorite strange sandwich would be the bacon-banana burger that I first tried in South Africa. It’s as simple as frying up some bacon, slicing a banana, and slapping them onto a burger! It is also still good if you try it without the burger - a plain bacon-banana sandwich. Amazing, though you’d never expect it!

I live in Nova Scotia now and some of the ‘regional specialties’ which used to disgust me are now my favourites.
1. Cherry Cheese.
Combine softened cream cheese with drained maraschino cherries. Mash. Turns a lovely pink colour with really stands out among the blandly grey tuna sandwiches. (Best with white bread)
2. Tuna, Egg, and Cheese.
As it’s name suggests, mix canned tuna with chopped up hard boiled egg and shredded cheese. Mix. Add onion to taste.

I’m with your wife: a good onion sandwich can be great!
That is, if the onions are something sweet like the Vidalias we used to get when I lived in the South. Vidalia onions, Durkee’s Sauce (something also usually only available in the South, I think), toasted wheat bread–delicious.
Otherwise, toasted rye bread with cream cheese & cucumber is fantastic as well.

Ex-boyfriends are good for something. My last one taunted me with the following rendition of a hamburger -
Hamburger Buns (I like wheat - and a sturdy wheat bread could be substituted here)
Pre-made hamburger patties (fried right from freezer)
Thousand Island Dressing
Sliced Green Olives (with or without the pimento - he picked the pimento out for me.)
He said it was a sandwich his dad had always loved called a Kewpie Burger. I believe this originated in Michigan.
Enjoy! Looks and sounds gross but surprisingly tasty - especially with a tall glass of chocolate milk!

I just had a fantastic sandwich today actually, although pretty classic, a BLT with avocado. I toast the bread and put a thin layer of mayo on it while the bread is still warm. Then the tomato on top of the mayo with a bit of salt and pepper. The bacon, which I cook very slowly over medium heat to keep it flat and crunchy, comes next. After that, thinly sliced avocado and lettuce caps it off. Note, don’t put the avocado on after the lettuce. Very slippery, not fun when it slides off into your lap. It’s all in the construction. I think I’ll make another, actually.

A crusty baguette with brie and nice ham. If you want to get fancy, I suppose you could add some veggies, but they’re not necessary.
OR — Smoked salmon on danish rye bread with a little bit of dill sauce. It has to be danish rye because of the great contrast between the coarse whole-graininess and the lovely buttery texture of the salmon.
Either one — simple and totally yummy!

When I was a kid, my dad would make us peanut butter and butter sandwiches on wonder bread. I don’t like peanut butter now but on occasion it still sounds good to me.
I really like grape jelly sandwiches with salty potato chips on wheat (the wheat is for fiber, of course). There is something about the crunchy along with salty and sweet that is so yummy.

My favorite has got to be the hummus/sprout sandwich. Ideally, it has whole wheat artisnal bread, broccoli sprouts and chile/cilantro hummus. Store-bought hummus and alfalfa sprouts should work in a pinch, though. Then I top it with either sriracha (the thai hot sauce) or fresh cracked pepper.

A microwaved Creamy Peanut Butter and Grape Jelly sandwich on white.
You microwave it for about 25 seconds. It melts the peanut butter and heats the jelly up to a temp about that of molten lava. I actually eat them with a fork and knife like I am fine dining. I suggest a tall glass of milk on the side.

Riccotta, cottage, and parmasian cheese (When I make mannicotti or lasagna I always manage to have leftover cheese mix).
French or italian bread– (left overs from dinner again)
Cheese mix goes in between bread slices, bread gets brushed with olive oil (melted butter works too)
The whole thing goes on a panini press–but a toaster oven, oven, (450* until slightly brown) or frying pan would work.
Enjoy…
Just in case you don’t have a way to cook these…no problem, skip the oil/butter and chow down. I just think these are much better grilled/toasted.
Another fave: Grilled cheese…using shredded cheese. Some of the cheese spills over the edge of the sandwich and forms a bit of a crust…
Any 2x is great!

Take a very fresh slice of rye bread (with caraway seeds) and apply a thin layer of French’s mustard.
Lay about a half inch of WARM corned beef on top of that.
On the other slice of bread, spread about a half inch of deli Chopped Liver.
Put the two pieces of bread together, take a BIG bite and go to HEAVEN! A Pepsi and dill pickle on the side make a wonderful meal.

The MABS
——–
OH MY GOD…you guys have to try this.
I’m in college and my roommates and I eat this every morning before class. We call it a:
MABS.
(MABS being an acronym for Maple And Brown Sugar)
It’s simple.
1. Cook up a pack of microwaveable Quaker Maple & Brown Sugar oatmeal.
2. Spread it your choice of toasted/untoasted bread (preferably white or cinnamon)
3. Spread a little grape jelly.
4. (optional) Add a packet of Splenda.
5. Enjoy
It’s unlike anything else and is mouth-watering delicious.
posted by Jake Le Master on 1-26-2008 at 10:57 am
Cheap, easy and oh, so yummy:
Put a big spoonful of creamy peanut butter into a bowl and stir in maple syrup until the mixture becomes creamy.
If you add too much syrup, the consistancy will become too thin for your purpose. This is no reason to panic, you can improvise your treat by dunking pieces of bread into your concoction.
After mixing proportions of PB&M to your taste, spread the ambrosia between two slices of white, plain or toasted as you prefer. I am tradionally a wheat bread fan, but in this case the texture of the sandwich is enhanced by white bread.
An awesome variation is to add some banana slices on top of the peanut butter mixture.
Enjoy!

Three ingredients? Leftover meatloaf, dill pickles and ketchup on toast. This won’t be available at your local grocery store, but it’s delish.
Ingredients that you CAN buy: 2-3 slices of store brand ham with ordinary French’s yellow mustard and a generous layer of Lay’s Barbeque potato chips on plain white bread.
Eat them up, yum.

Fav cold sammy: liverwurst and cream cheese on a firm white bread (or wheat if you prefer). AKA heart attack sandwich and definitely not Kosher!
Fav cooked sammy: fried egg (break the yolk but don’t scramble)…..melt a slice of American cheese on it and serve on any sandwich bread you like.
Both simple, only 2 ingredients if you don’t count the bread, both delicious and high in protein!

The best for a sweet tooth is Nutella and banana slices. You can usually find Nutella close to peanut butter in the store. Just spread it on then add banana slices, or you could have it without bananas. It’s great either way.

Get a crusty roll–the crustier and less dense, the better–and split it. An english muffin, but with a slightly firmer crust, comes to mind.
Spread a thin layer of grainy mustard over both halves.
Place a slice of proscuitto on the bottom half. If that’s too haute for some, a good cured country ham slice will do fine.
On top of the proscuitto/ham, add a couple of thin slices of pear.
Top with some brie (that’s not been melted, so it’s still some what firm). You can remove the rind if you want. Again, if that’s too haute, a slice of swiss will do.
Finish with the other half of the roll and, well, finish it off!
This is pretty simple–for some more great cooking (though not necessarily sandwich) ideas, check out my website–linked in my name, I believe.

I love reading everyone’s weird sandwiches! I think I’ll be trying some.
Cold Sandwich:
nice heavy wheat bread
good sliced black forest ham
tomatoes (preferably in summer when they are nice and ripe) with a sprinkle of sea salt and ground pepper
kerrygold swiss cheese
bread and butter pickle slices (the kind they make now for sandwiches, sliced lengthwise)
sweet hot mustard very thinly spread on both slices of bread
Hot:
Extra sharp chedder cheese
Super thinly sliced ham (of your choice)
Granny Smith apple sliced super thin
Sweet Hot mustard
Spread mustard on both slices of bread, not too thick
On each slice place a layer of sliced cheese, a layer of ham and then another layer of cheese to “seal” the ham in.
Put both slices NOT PUT TOGETHER, in the toaster oven til the cheese is bubbly.
Put both slices on a plate and cover with Granny Smith apple slices, THEN put the sandwich together.
The thinness of all the ingredients makes it work. Also if you can keep the apple slices COLD it makes a nice contrast.
Now I’m going to make myself a sandwich!! :)

I have an aversion to plain ham sandwiches, they being the most despised of all brown bag school lunches.
Now I have a more “grown up” version that I actually enjoy: add a layer of sliced red apple to the ham (pref. on multigrain bread) and a slice of cheese on top of the apple.
Pop the whole thing in the oven so the bread gets toasty and the cheese melts over the warm apples and ham. Delish!

When I was little my dad would make peanut butter and bacon sandwiches on toast. They are so very good. I don’t make them very often anymore, I’m not really sure why.

I’m with Michelle there. To this day, I still find myself going for the potato chips! Sour cream and chives, the ruffle chips work best, a few slices of turkey and mustard - needs to have mustard on it.
And when I don’t have any cold cuts, I go without and have a potato chip sandwich.

Down here in North Carolina, the best sandwich is to put 2 slices of cold livermush, 1 slice of onion and 1 piece of cheese between 2 slices of bread and microwave for 1 minute.

In junior high school, lo these many tears ago, one of my favorite sandwiches to pack in my lunch was thick-sliced bologna on white bread, with Miracle Whip on one side and crunchy peanut butter on the other.
(Please don’t mix the PB and Miracle Whip together on the same side - that’s gross!)
My wife thinks that sandwich is a sign of my poor upbringing, but my teenage daughter tried it recently thought it was really good.
My mouth is watering as I type this. I wonder how bad one of these would be for my cholesterol…

OK, just made these for lunch for the kids because it is what I had handy. Everyone here seemed to think it was a winner.
1) garlic hummus -slather the inside of your bread with it
2) feta - sprinkle some on top of the bottom piece (make sure it sticks to the hummus or you’ll have crumbly mess)
3) tomato slices
This would probably really good toasted too, but that takes more time. :)

My mom is Dutch so we would always have hagelslag sandwiches. They are basically chocolate sprinkles that you put on buttered toast or bread. How could you not love it?
I also love making ‘pizza sandwiches’… You put ketchup, shredded cheese (mozarella if you want to be authentic), and sliced hot dogs on bread, heat in toaster oven and enjoy!
Finally, if you don’t mind a sugar rush there’s always the classic Breakfast Club sandwich that Ally Sheedy’s character enjoys in the movie. Take two slices of white bread, pour the contents of a pixie stick on each one, put a handful of Cap’n Crunch cereal on each and squish to embed into the bread. Put the two slices together et voila!

This reminds of the funniest moment of a recent family reunion. It’s long been known in my family that my Mother has no tastebuds, and will pretty much eat anything, especially for lunch. As we were all thinking about this, she admitted to use she once ate a spam and waffle sandwich….
Spam and waffles… I think that was it– no condiments, no lettuce or tomato, just spam and waffle. I wouldn’t try it if I were you, but in case you decide to and somehow it’s good, I’ll take the Freud shirt, Men’s L.

Going along with the “just mustard on bread” sammie that I too would rock in my times of reduced financial comfort, I invented a no-bread sammie called the Bo-logner (Buh-lo-ner).
You’ll need:
- 2 slices bologna
- a shmeer of some sort (mayo, mustard, or whatever, depending on what condiment packets you can steal from the Arby’s)
- a slice of tomato and/or cheese, whichever you happen to have.
Spread the condiments on one side of each of the bologna slices, and layer the ingredient(s) in the middle. Sandwich together, using the bologna as bread, and voila! Almost a sandwich.
Then there’s the Breakfast Club Peanut Butter Crunch + Pixie Sticks and Coke sandwich special. But perhaps someone has already mentioned that.

Like donner, when there’s nothing real to eat, I enjoy ketchup sandwiches too. Though I never microwaved them…will try that next time.
But more commonly, when there’s nothing real ready or almost ready-to-eat food and I am too tired to cook, I eat a hashbrown sandwich (or two)-
- Microwave (for better taste, bake) a hashbrown patty
- Sandwich between ketchup smeared toasted bread slices
- Eat.

Greatest Hot Sandwich:
Grilled cheese (preferably made in one of those sandwich-makers!) on white bread with mustard and dill pickles (of the “hamburger chip” variety). Don’t forget to use that cheap American individually-wrapped cheese!! This may be its one and only good use.
Greatest Cold Sandwich:
More than three ingredients, but pretty easy and WELL worth the effort. I made this up in the kitchen one day when my cabinets were starting to get pretty empty. Use the food processor or blender (hang in there with me) to blend some avocado, lemon juice to taste, a dash of garlic salt, plus salt and pepper. Spread that mixture across some toasted wheat bread, add cucumbers, optional romaine lettuce. Mmmmmmmm…. I’m getting hungry!

These may sound disgusting, so bear with me:
1–one slice of bread with cheddar cheese, ketchup, mustard, onion pieces and pickle relish microwaved for like 20 seconds… it’s awesome. (I was a vegetarian and it was my “hotdog substitute” sandwich.)
2–peanut butter and grape jelly with potato chips inside the sandwich (so nummy)
3–cream cheese (yup, that’s it, cream cheese on bread; sometimes I throw in paprika to give it a pretty color)
4–shredded cheddar with mango chutney (or whatever jelly you feel like)
5–my mother’s specialty the “PacMan sandwich”–one slice of bologna with a slit in it, cooked in a frying pan until the bologna looks like a pacman. Served on one slice of bread, generally slathered with either mustard or ketchup (never both); the alternate sandwich was the “bubbleman” sandwich where it didn’t get a slit and was done when it bubbled up (and looked like the little ghosties from the pacman game).

I’m fond of grilled cheese with sauerkraut. You have to use the sharpest chedder you can find; wimpy cheese won’t hold up to the sauerkraut.
put some sauerkraut and sliced cheese between two pieces of bread, and butter the sandwich and grill till done.
It works even better as a quesadilla with a corn tortilla, the sweetness of the corn complements the assertiveness of the cheese and sauerkraut.

My favorite sandwich is a throwback to the peanut butter and banana combo but much more tasty. You take 2 pieces of garlic butter Texas toast(available in the frozen foods section), while this is baking (usually only takes about 5 minutes or so) whip up a mixture of peanut butter, syrup and butter. When done line one side with sliced bananas, and the other with your yummy peanut butter spread. Put both sides together and enjoy!

As a kid, my mom would make me crunchy PB and honey sandwiches. Over the course of the day (in a cold lunchbox), the honey would crystalize and combined with the crunchiness of the pb… OH MY!

keeping the sandwich open faced, place in toaster oven until cheese begins to melt, remove the seperate slices and combine and enjoy

The best sandwich I’ve had in a long time was hard salami & gouda cheese on homemade bread. The thing that made it taste the best was working all morning out in the cold and pulling that out of the bag at lunchtime; nothing like a good hard-earned appetite to make even the simplest thing taste wonderful!
Three of my all-time faves, in no particular order:
Grilled PB&J - Like grilled cheese, but with peanut butter and jelly in the middle. Oh my; wonderful stuff!
Peanut butter & honey on toast - spread peanut butter on hot toast, then drizzle on some honey & smear it together with the peanut butter. Mmmmm!
Scrambled egg sandwich - super simple; scramble an egg, then put it on buttered bread with a dash of salt & pepper. It’s one of those things that zings me back to childhood at my first bite.

I like to do all kinds of sandwiches, so often two are never the same. However, one I’ve found to be excellent is marinated sundried tomatoes, roasted red peppers, sharp cheddar cheese, and Stonewall kitchen’s Maine Maple Champagne mustard (or some equivalent). If I put meat in it, I prefer turkey, but ham is good too. Take all that, put it in frying pan/on a panini press, whatever — just heat it up.
I also have a sandwich that uses the same mustard as above for after Thanksgiving. Turkey, stuffing/dressing, cranberry sauce, and the mustard. Cheese and heating optional.

Back when I was a carnivore, I made egg-and-carrot sandwiches. I was convinced that they were extraordinarily healthy… even if they tasted odd.
Recipe:
1 large egg
5 baby carrots, chopped finely
2 slices of toast, hot
Break the yoke and scramble the egg on a greased skillet. When the egg is still a little gelatinous, add the chopped carrots. Mix it around until cooked. Slap on the toast, pop together the sandwich, and enjoy the fibrous, protein-ey, vitamin-A-rich meal! Even if it tastes sweeter than savory…

You have to be careful with the avocados and cream cheese so the sandwich doesn’t get overly pasty. Any sprouts are fine, but I especially enjoy the spiciness of radish sprouts.

My’s mother’s southern roots did influence these other favorites,
Pimento Cheese:
You can buy this as a spread in the grocery store but I beg you please make it from scratch.
A pkg of shredded cheddar chse. A small jar of red pimentos (you can find them with the olives etc..) and mayo. Just mix them all together with enough mayo to make it spreadable and eat on any kind of good squishy white bread.
One more,
Cream Cheese and pineapple:
Get a whipped cream cheese it’s easier to mix and combine with a small can of pineapple tidbits drained. Mix it up and spread it on white bread as well yum!

Crack an egg into a baggie. Optionally add a broken up slice of cheese. Hold the bag shut and goosh it up. Lay it in the microwave so it doesn’t leak out. Zap til it puffs up. Flip over and repeat. Put on bread and eat. No cleanup!

This one is pretty great, especially for breakfast:
Cinnamon raisin bread, toasted
Goat cheese
Fig preserves
So delicious!

As a kid, my favorite was peanut butter with iceberg lettuce. As an adult, I’ve been on a quest for the perfect grilled cheese sandwich (grilled cheese being the best kind of sandwich). The best I’ve come up with so far is taleggio cheese on caraway rye, served with a crisp amber beer. I’m also quite fond of green apples and sharp cheddar on ciabatta in the panini grill.

My two favorites are:
1. butter and brown sugar on either toast or plain cheap white bread.
2. toast with peanut butter and chocolate chips (but you have to put the choc. chips on the warm bread right out of the toaster so they sort of start to melt)
Neither is healthy, but both are fabulous.

Grilled cheese & onion. Preferably on rye but anything will do.
Just like a regular grilled cheese but with a slice of sweet onion between one slice of bread and the cheese.
Simple, quick, GOOOD, and the ingredients are almost always on hand. No need to make a trip to the store.

Here’s a favorite passed to me from my dad,
Fried bologna (Oscar Meyer works great) with white bread and a fried egg on top (best if both are fried in a little bit of butter).
Hint: when frying bologna, cut a slit in it so it will be flat on sandwich. Yum

My brother’s fav growing up was the peanut butter and hershey’s syrup sandwich. I tried it once and never again.
Not necessarily original but healthy and filling, my favorite pre-workout breakfast is an openfaced toasted slice of wheatbread with smooth peanut butter and sliced banana.

When I was little, I would spend a good deal of my summer with my grandparents, along with my siblings and cousins. One day, we asked my grandpa what he wanted for lunch and he said a green bean sandwich. Being little kids, and wanting to please Grandpa, we went and asked Grandma to help us make a green bean sandwich (not realizing it wasn’t something anyone we knew had ever had before). She did and everyone really liked it! Sometimes we still talk about it, and I’ve even made them a couple of times as an adult. It actually sounds kind of good right now. :)
It’s basically a grilled cheese sandwich with canned green beans in the middle. Put cheese on both pieces of bread with green beans in between the cheese, and don’t use french style. You can toast/grill it in a pan on the stove or in a toaster oven. Enjoy!

Not a personal favorite sandwich (ok, never had the guts to try it), but the story is priceless. My son had just come from Grandma’s-next door at the time-with a sandwich. My Ex was teasing him, trying to steal a bite thinking it was pb&j. Well, the Ex got a bite and literally turned green while my 3yr old son grew a huge smirk. I asked him what it was and the answer of “Peanut butter and ketchup” explained it all!

Mexican Fold Over
Put a dab of butter in a not-too-hot skillet, immediately throw a flour tortilla on top of the butter, just as quickly sprinkle a handful of shredded chedder on one side of the tortilla, then right away draw a line down the middle of the tortilla next to the cheese with a generous dollop of salsa. By now the tortilla will be soft enough to fold the half without the cheese over the business side of this goody. Leave the cheese side down long enough to lightly brown the tortilla then flip it over and brown the other side.
Comida rapida !!
You can do the same thing without the stuffing, then serve it dusted with cinnamon and drizzled with honey or syrup.

Straight out of my childhood and I still eat this, blame this eccentricity on my late mother:
Two slices of wheat bread
Chunky peanut butter
Hellman’s Mayo (essential, no other mayo will do)
All through my life I have indulged in this concotion, everybody that I have shown this to has the same initial reaction “Say What????” until they try it. Sounds weird but tastes good!

I loves loads of cheese! I like my sandwiches with loads of them, and then a mix of meats. Here’s one: Get as many/little cheese as you like (Cheddar, Mozzarella, what have you) + Thinly sliced bacons + Pre-packed Minced beef. If you have any sour cream at hand, be crazy with it! Put them all together. I love that they have minced meat very readily (frozen or otherwise) to save on time. Maximum drooling, minimum money and time.
That’s the savoury. Seeing that you like bananas, I think you might really enjoy dessert-like sandwiches so here’s my favourite sweetish kind.
When I was a kid, we’d spread condensed milk over our sandwiches. As we got less boring, sprinkle chocolate and peanut butter then top them with chopped syruppy banana. If you like them hot, don’t hesitate to toss the sandwich into the oven. It smells and tastes so good after that.
Enjoy!

My all time favorite sandwich is one I discovered in college. Toast your bread, then, slather it in mashed potatoes and lay 3 - 4 slices of bacon on top. Sprinkle with a dash of salt. GREAT flavor! The potatoes can be cold or just mashed. I add a touch of butter, but not too much. Peppered bacon is a nice touch. Toast the bread for the best flavor.

Vegimite, cheese and lettuce. Make sure you only put a little bit of vegimite or the taste will over power the cheese. Make it a bitey cheese like vintage and a crispy leaf.

This one I just get a random craving for once in a while. I first made it just because these were the only available ingredients in the apartment at the moment, and I was hungry. Necessity is the mother of invention, as they say.
It can be done on white bread or sourdough. I’ve done both, and it just depends on what I prefer at the moment. Throw a healthy layer of cream cheese on each slice of bread, then add a layer of dill pickle slices and a layer of Ruffles potato chips in the middle.. It kind of has to be eaten right away before the pickle juice makes the chips go squishy… but I really like it.

When I was pregnant with my first child I was craving a peanut butter and honey sandwich, but I also wanted to finish off some left over Honey Baked Ham. So I did the only logic thing - I had a peanut butter, honey and Honey Baked Ham sandwich and LOVED it. Over 30 years later, this is STILL my favorite sandwich!

I have to admit that I was not partial to these sandwiches, but my mother and brother ate them incessantly: peanut butter, mayo and iceburg lettuce sandwiches. Evidently the tang of the mayo complimented the peanut butter and the lettuce gave the sandwich that necessary crunch. And for variation, they would sometimes use crunchy peanut butter and substitute tortillas for bread.

Put tuna fish mixed with mayo and a dab of mustard on a piece of bread, then place some Lays potatoe chips on top of the tuna with another piece of bread on top. I’ve been eating chips inside my tuna sandwiches for years. Peanut butter and jam sandwiches with fritoes are really good too.

We have a long tradition of making weird sandwiches in my family. Some of our favorites:
-cream cheese and hot pepper jelly on your choice of bread
-grilled sharp cheddar cheese on cinnamon raisin bread with Honeycup honey mustard (it, unlike most honey mustards, is sinus-clearing hot, which is delicious with the sweetness of the bread and the saltiness of the cheese)
This one I cannot claim credit for, alas, but it is one of my favorites. I discovered it while living abroad in Scotland for a while. It took me several weeks to get up the courage to try it, but once I did, I was hooked. Everyone I’ve convinced to try it has also liked it… it’s just the convincing that’s the problem!
-crusty white bread (French or ciabatta works best, imo)
-spread with pesto sauce on both sides
-add slices of Stilton or another bleu cheese
-add slices/pieces of pineapple
-add slices of green bell pepper
-toast or grill in a panini press
Weird-sounding as that combo is, my grandmother, late in life, regularly ate a sandwich involving PB, mayo, liverwurst, lettuce, tomato, candied orange peel, and chamomile tea. And the tea was not as a beverage– she’d cut open the tea bag, sprinkle the leaves on, and devour the thing. I tried a bite once and have no desire to repeat the experience.

A sandwich my mother ate when pregnant, then later tried it on us kids: peanut butter, pickles and mayonnaise on white bread. I remember it tasting pretty good. Sweet, salty and tangy, and we ate it often, though I admit I haven’t had it in years. She also ate peanut M&M’s w/ soy sauce when pregnant, but I never tried it. It may explain a bit about how I turned out, though!

Another one- Flour tortilla over M/H stove flame, quickly cook until puffed w/ some burnt spots, adjusting tortilla around flame for even cooking. Flip and repeat. Remove from flame, hottest side up. Smear a stick of salted butter over the surface, glue stick style, to melt a thin coating. Fold half, then quarter (eighth again, if you please). Learned this from a friend from Mexico. Also works w/ corn tortillas. It’s amazing how good this is!

Peanut butter and orange sandwiches are my most favourite sandwiches of all time. Just peel an orange and divide it normally and after spreading peanut butter toss them on. It sounds like a weird combination, and I get funny looks, but people are seriously missing out.
I picked this up from someone while I was in the hospital. It sure beat the rest of the food.
I have another one as well, that I just concocted today, actually. You just cut up about a half of a tomato, fry it with goat cheese and lots of pepper. I sort of crushed my tomato as it was cooking and it made a tomato-cheese paste, so I spread it on some bread.
It all happened completely by mistake though. I was in a hurry to make it and I wasn’t paying attention. My original goal was to just fry up some tomatoes with a bit of cheese sprinkled. I put more cheese in then I meant to and…voila, I suppose.
Anyway, enjoy.

i started making sandwiches like this in college because i could snag cold cuts and fruit from the dining hall. it’s great because you can use whatever bread or meat you have handy.
spread mayo on both slices, sprinkle with curry powder (i like to add a little ginger too)
on one side, add raisins or grape halves
lay the meat on top (i like turkey), add some apple slices and a squeeze of lime juice.

The world’s absolute best sandwich is my dad’s omelet sandwich.
it’s simple: you make an omelet, put it on a slice of bread, put some slices of a tomato and maybe olives.
The sandwich evolved since I was a kid, my dad makes me a sandwich to school every day and improves it all the time.
To upgrade your snack, fry the omelet with some grated cheese and parsley.
ENJOY!

Not actually my personal favorite but definitely one of my Portuguese gramma’s: plain old white bread, mayonnaise, pork and beans.
On a slightly unrelated note - best breakfast soup ever (another concoction by my Portuguese gramma) called “soupish”: mix coffee, milk, and sugar in a bowl to taste. butter a saloon pilot cracker, add to coffee mix. wait for it to get slightly soggy, break with spoon, eat like cereal. Delicious! I highly recommend it, even though it has nothing to do with sandwiches.

As a child, times were tough and miracle whip sandwiches were the norm as well as maragrine and sugar sandwiches. I would never think of having those as an adult, but as a youngster it filled the belly.
My comfort sandwich is toasted potato bread, horseradish sauce, cheddar cheese sliced and onions. MmmMMMMMMmmmm
Also, Toasted L’ego waffles with fried egg over hard and cheese.

Two suggestions come to mind.
First not so healthy but oh so good. This was developed while I was in college and came about usually after a night of imbibing a few adult beverages or more. nonetheless it is very good.
-toast two slices of bread
-fry one egg to medium, soft if you don’t mind a drippy sandwich,
-slather bread with Miracle Whip®
-Consume.
This is a particularly tasty sandwich!!
Another is one I’ve recently discovered that works for a protein boost at lunch to keep you satiated up and some times through dinner.
-toast bread, wheat is recommended
-Fry egg to hard
-Slather toast with peanut butter
-optional addition is iceberg lettuce leaf.
