Sandwich Tips:
-
Leave crusts on all but dainty tea sandwiches; they help keep sandwiches fresh.
-
Assemble components, then put sandwiches together just before serving, particularly important if ingredients are drippy.
-
Soften butter to room temperature so it spreads more easily.
-
If filling is creamy, butter 1 slice of bread only.
-
Be generous - but not lavish - with butter or mayonnaise; 1 teaspoon per slice is ample.
-
Spread butter or mayonnaise and sandwich fillings to the edge of the bread.
-
Use several thin slices of meat or cheese rather then a single thick one.
-
Make sure salad-type fillings are creamy, not soupy.
-
Make toasted sandwiches at the very last minute and do not stack toast - it will become soggy.
