Sandwich

This simple appetizer is a hit every time due in large part to the vast appeal of warm cheesy things.

The koji brine deeply seasons the pork and keeps it juicy. You can skip this step, but we highly recommend it.

Thick-cut bacon grills much better than thin strips, which have a tendency to get burnt and overly crisp.

This sandwich gets immense flavor from a modest list of ingredients like eggs, vegetables, and herbs. The fish sauce spiked-mayo packs a powerful punch.

Spoiler alert: We broke with tradition. Instead of rubbing toast with cut tomatoes, we grated the tomatoes to make a raw sauce that the bread can really absorb.

This picnic-ready sandwich is basically a salad between two slices of bread. With an herby yogurt smear, tons of feel-good sprouts, and buttery avocado, it has major California vibes.

This savory-sweet dish is decorated with soft cheese and a hint of garlic. Served over a crispy baguette, it’s the perfect summer lunch, midday snack, or party appetizer.

Deeply charred mustardy chicken thighs are paired with a crunchy and refreshing fennel-basil slaw for the ultimate summer chicken sandwich.

A sausage patty topped with feta, cilantro, sweet pickled peppers, and a sunny-side-up egg make for a hearty sandwich that’s perfect for brunch, lunch, or dinner.

Pile charred Halloumi cheese, kale, and cherry tomatoes on garlicky bread for an almost-instant dinner from the grill. No bread? No problem—toss everything else together and eat it as a salad.

Your favorite creamy dip—but in a form you (and your kids) can happily eat for dinner. Serve with a salad of bitter greens and a bright vinaigrette.

Think: bacon and cheddar sandwich, but on a crouton. These bite-sized snacks with crispy crusts will leave all the other hors d'oeuvres in the dust.
