Since there’s not much time to spend in the kitchen amid our busy schedule to cook breakfast, people usually opt for quick and hassle-free options. Grabbing something on the way seems like the easiest thing for most people, but this habit may adversely affect our health. One needs something that can be made in a jiffy and is easy to carry and eat on the way to work, like a sandwich.
And we aren’t talking about the toasted or grilled varieties that have heavy stuffing. The easy-breezy cold sandwiches are ideal for quick breakfast hacks. For the unversed, a cold sandwich refers to one that has a cold filling inside it, like that of an egg mixture, chicken mixture or simply, chopped vegetables mixed with cream, mayonnaise, or a spread.
Here are a few cold sandwiches that you can try for breakfast.
1. Hung Curd Cold Sandwich
This is a creamy and delicious sandwich that can be prepared in a jiffy. The curd is wrapped in a muslin cloth and hung in a corner for a day or so. This releases all the moisture from the curd and makes it thick and smooth. This is then mixed with chopped vegetables like carrots, onions, and peas, and then spread on the slice of bread. Toast or grill and enjoy.
2. Egg Salad Cold Sandwich
The protein lovers are in for a treat. The sandwich is made by filling two slices of bread with a creamy egg mixture. The boiled eggs are mashed and tossed in mustard sauce and lemon juice. It lends a tangy touch to the salad, along with bell peppers and carrots. The sandwich turns out quite filling and healthy. This one is eaten best without toasting.
3. Cheese And Dill Cold Sandwich
This one is simple yet tasty. You don’t need too many ingredients for this sandwich as the powerful flavour of dill is enough to give you a kick. The herb is mixed with butter and smothered with cheese. Both the dairy products lend certain creaminess to the filling. This is then slathered on the slice of bread and topped with another one.
4. Russian Salad Cold Sandwich
This is a creamy and sweet sandwich recipe that pairs the popular Russian salad with bread to form a wholesome meal. The creaminess comes from the use of fresh cream and mayonnaise. To this, add some potatoes, peas, pineapple, and carrots. It becomes very thick and creamy with slight hints of sweetness. Spread it on slices of bread and eat it without toasting for a refreshing summer breakfast.
5. Chicken Coleslaw Cold Sandwich
While coleslaw is usually paired with sandwiches, subs, burgers etc. as a side dish, you can easily make a sandwich with one too. Roast the chicken and shredded it into pieces. Add to this some chopped carrots, cabbage, green onions, and lettuce. Toss in some mayonnaise and drizzle lemon juice. Mix it well and spread it on a slice of bread. Top it with another and enjoy.
