We modified the fussy “tea” sandwich into a hearty bite for a homestyle happy hour.
No need to overthink these satisfying little sandwiches — it’s more about experimenting. Just focus on combining fresh ingredients, tangy tastes, and protein for energy.
- Start with a homestyle bread, a focaccia, or a cracker that you can use as a quick base.
- At your local grocery, you can pick from a wide variety of spreads, such as spinach dip, garlic hummus, or any kind of cheese to help hold your sandwich together.
- Add in-season vegetables and fruits as the topper to increase your nutrient intake as well as savor the tastes of the season.
Try topping a rustic bread with turkey, bacon, tomato, and microgreens. With a dollop of garlic spread, this combination makes a delicious, open-faced sandwich snack.
Next, we piled a salty cracker with homemade chicken salad and juicy tomato. Then we tried saucing a meatball and some greens together for a hearty one-bite sandwich. A boiled egg also worked well as a protein with a dollop of hummus and a thin white bread. What a fun challenge to try as many spreads and breads as possible.
