Ingredients

  • Bread
  • Protein from a previously made meal
  • Condiment of choice
  • Veggies
    • Salad/lettuce
    • Tomatoes
    • Pickles/Banana Peppers

Equipment

  • Knife
  • Toaster
  • Microwave

Recipe

  1. Put sliced bread in toaster.
  2. Acquire protein.
    • Make a meatloaf, turkey, or some chicken for a hot meal last night and couldn’t finish it? Grab that, slice thinly with knife, and heat it up a little in the microwave.
  3. Once bread is toasted, build sandwich how you would like.
    • Cut sandwich diagonally for more of a lunch-y feel.

I enjoy a cold sandwich as much as next the person, which means that a warm sandwich is likely a lot better. A sandwich for lunch typically feels like a rushed affair, but taking the time to add some heat, using leftovers instead of store-bought lunchmeat, and toasting bread makes a huge difference.
