Josh's favorite sandwich

So everyone knows how to make a sandwich. There's really nothing to it. The key to the sandwich really is in the quality of ingredients, much like in all cooking actually. If you start with fresh produce, fresh baked bread and quality meats you'll usually end up with something that tastes wonderful.

My favorite sandwich Ingredients:
Wheat or whole grain bread (fancy breads w/ nuts and stuff are great)
honey baked ham, thinly sliced smoked and baked turkey, and salami
fresh lettuce of choice
alf alfa sprouts
guacamole
fried egg
fresh sharp cheddar or pravalone
dijon mustard
seafood spread or mayonaise
cucumbers
steak tomatoes
red onions
pepperchinis
Dill pickles

Yup, this makes a monster sandwich. There are a lot of ingredients. Although for health reasons, mayo might be avoided. I think we all know however that it adds so much great flavor. Let's face it, the best flavor is really in the fat of our foods and this defiantely is true here. Definately, toast the bread. Be as generous as you like with any of the ingredients but I try to be careful as there are so many things piled on you may not be able to hold the end product up to your mouth if you go overboard.

*Fried eggs is usually my favorite addition to just about any dish.
**Also, I love to have pickles and spicey peppers or pepperchinis with my sandwiches. I think the vinegar adds a great balance.

Enjoy!
