Despite all the simplicity, it is important to maintain balance and compatibility between the added ingredients.
The basic principles look like this:
Bread | Bread coating spread | Main Ingredient | Vegetables | Sauce |
White for toast | Butter | Ham | Leaf salad | Tabasco |
White yeast | Cream cheese | Cheese | Fresh cucumbers | Sriracha |
Rye for toast | Soft cottage cheese | Chicken | Pickled or pickled cucumbers | Chile |
Multigrain | Ricotta | Turkey | Bell pepper | B-B-Q |
Rye yeast | Mayonnaise | Salmon | Onion | Salsa |
With bran | Mustard | Tuna | Fennel | Balsamic |
Bacon | Avocado | Greek yogurt | ||
