We’ve already discussed how to pair different types of cheese with various ingredients like jams and savory condiments to highlight the best qualities of each flavor. Now it’s time to take the task one step further: how do we assemble the best sandwiches, where it’s not one element (jam, condiment) highlighting the other (cheese), but all of the main ingredients work in tandem to bring out the best qualities in each other.
Pastrami and Turkey goes together, especially with Cole Slaw, Swiss cheese, and Russian dressing. Ham, Turkey, and Bacon with sliced cheddar and Swiss on a classic club sandwich with three slices of toast, mayonnaise or honey mustard, lettuce, tomato. Roast Beef and Turkey with jack cheese and green Chiles.
Bocadillo de Jamón with Chevre and Sriracha Aioli
Bocata or Bocadillo de Jamón is one of the most famous Spanish sandwiches. The original is quite light on ingredients. Typically, the bread is lightly smeared with tomato and olive oil, and there’s no cheese, so the Jamón is the uncontested star of the show. Let’s contest that stardom.
Cheese: something soft and mellow. If Chevre isn’t available, go with Brie, Camembert, or something similar.
Cured meats: either Jamón Serrano or Jamón Iberico.
Condiment: something spicy but creamy. If Sriracha Aioli isn’t available, make something similar by combining your favorite hot sauce with mayo.
A Mozzarella and Pesto Sandwich with Salami
Its possibly the laziest sandwich on this list, but it’s a flavor combo that works and works well, so why not? Smear the bread with a generous amount of green pesto, add thick slices of Mozzarella and salami, and either enjoy as is or stick in a pan for a grilled panini.
Cheese: Mozzarella or something similarly mellow and creamy, like Stracciatella or Scamorza Bianca.
Cured meats: choose your favorite and stick with it. Mine is classic salami, but prosciutto, pancetta, chorizo, etc. all work. Pretty much select your favorite pizza topping and start from there.
Condiment: classic basil pesto (Pesto alla Genovese).
