No More Soggy Sandwiches

I’ve been on a sandwich kick lately. They are cost effective and easy to make in the morning before heading out the door to deal with traffic. The problem was when lunch time finally came around I was dealing with eating a soggy sandwich. The mustard and mayo that is commonly spread onto the upper and lower portion of the bread would soak into the bread or bagel and make for a soggy meal. Just gross! After all, who even likes soggy nachos?

So, I took a look at how I was building the sandwich and came up with the correction and then I even improved upon that! What?! Check it out:

Layer 1: Bottom piece of bread or bagel
Layer 2: Wax paper
Layer 3: Sandwich meat
Layer 4: Mayonnaise, salad dressing, mustard, vinegar sprits, add yours here
Layer 5: Salt & Pepper
Layer 6: Veggies, Pickles, Jalapeno’s*, etc.
Layer 7: Cheese

Instruction: Wrap up Layers 2 - 7 in the wax paper

Layer 8: Put top piece of bread or bagel on bottom piece

Instruction: Put the wrapped-up layers on top of the bread and put in sandwich bag. Then make sure the wax paper side is facing down so that anything that wants to get all juicy doesn't make the bread soggy.

No wax paper? Then use the meat as the bottom dry layer and the cheese the top dry layer. The key is to put everything that makes the bread all soggy and gross between the barriers that won’t let it get to the bread. That’s right stop them dead in their tracks!

Put your now friendly sandwich in a baggie or eco-friendly plastic container, take it to work, put it in the fridge and by lunch you’ll have a fresh soggy free sandwich waiting for you. No more carting everything to make the sandwich with you or keeping everything you need at work to have your precious internet - I mean lunchtime - eaten into by having to make the sandwich itself. Just a fresh sandwich waiting for your consumption and your wallet will be feeling better as well.

Enjoy!

Extra Tip: Skip the jar and buy fresh. A single Jalapeño cost pennies and can last up to 3 or more sandwiches. Cut a few slices of Jalapeño and then dice them up and sprinkle on the sandwich to save you from that one frightening bite!
