FAQs

What is a cheese sandwich?

A cheese sandwich is a simple yet very satisfying dish made of bread and cheese combined but done mainly on top of various spreads, vegetable slices, or sometimes additional ingredients like meats. Among more common forms would include the classic grilled cheese, where buttered bread is grilled until gold and melty, and cold cheese sandwiches, which can feature cheddar, Swiss, or mozzarella, amongst other cheeses. Versions may come along with tomatoes and lettuce or even meats, making it versatile for any meal or snack.

How can I make my cheese sandwich healthier?

For example, whole grain or whole wheat bread for a cheese sandwich makes the whole thing healthier than white bread because it elevates the fibre and nutrient content. You can also reduce the fat content in your cheese or place more fillings like fresh vegetables, avocado, or some lean proteins into your cheese sandwich. Adding mustard or hummus as a spread will further assist you in reducing the calorie content while adding flavour to your sandwich. Such upgrades in flavour do not add any excess calories and include all manner of herbs and spices.

Can I prepare a cheese sandwich ahead of time?

Yes, you can make a cheese sandwich ahead. How to make a sandwich ahead of time largely depends on the variety. Cold cheese sandwiches may be made several hours ahead of time and then simply wrapped tightly so that the bread doesn't get soggy. As for grilled cheese, these are best cooked fresh for the ultimate flavour and crunch. If you must prepare beforehand, consider reheating them in a skillet or sandwich press to regain their crispiness when you serve!
