Sometimes butter is spread lightly on top and pieces of cheese or meat fillings are placed on top. They may be garnished with slices of carrots, raisins, pickles, and the like to make them more attractive. Open sandwiches are similar to canap s, a type of French hors d uvre.
Plain Sandwich A plain sandwich is made up of two slices of bread that is sometimes toasted. The crusts may or may not be removed, depending upon your preference. Butter, mayonnaise, or a prepared sandwich spread may be used as lining to prevent the bread from absorbing moisture from the filling. Spreads preventing the bread from becoming soggy, the spread also adds flavor and nutrients. It also ensures that the bread and the filling will stick together. Some examples you may be familiar with would include a roast beef sandwich or a grilled cheese.
Pinwheel Sandwich Pinwheels are made of a flatbread bread (like a tortilla) that is very thin. Fresh bread is preferable because it's easy to roll and will not crack. Spread bread with softened butter or margarine and your choice of any smooth filling, like creamed cheese, marmalades, cheese , peanut butter, jams, and jellies. Smooth fillings are ideal for pinwheel sandwiches, because they do not have bulk and can be spread thinly. Fill the bread with your chosen fillings. Roll the bread up tightly in cling film. Wrap each rolled sandwich individually and chill for several hours or until they are firm. When ready to serve, remove the cling film and cut into 2cm slices. Use a sharp knife or a bread knife so the cuts clear and neat. Arrange and serve them on a platter. Garnish if needed.
Closed Tea Sandwich Remove the crusts of a day-old bread. With cookie cutters of various shapes and sizes, cut as many pieces as possible from each sandwich. Try to have a variety of squares, rectangles, and oblong shapes. Save the scraps and crusts for crumbs. For each sandwich, spread butter on one piece of bread and filling on the other. Top the filled side with the buttered side. Closed tea sandwiches may be made ahead of time and frozen. After the sandwich is made place on wax paper or in a clean, damp towel and place in an airtight container to freeze. They should be removed from the freezer at least three hours before they are to be served.
Ribbon Sandwich A ribbon sandwich is basically a multi-layered sandwich. Bread, spread, meat, cheese, another layer of bread, meat cheese, third piece of bread. A ribbon one goes a step further by removing the crust and cutting the layered sandwich into 1inx1in square sections. Coloured bread is suitable for this type of sandwich. Alternate 3 slices each of white and brown bread with one or more fillings spread between slices. Press together the stack of slices, and then trim crusts. Wrap and chill for several hours.
