Supreme Sandwich: 7 Ways to use your Xmas Leftovers ๐
At first glance, it's just bread and stuffing. Put in a little extra effort, fill it with your favourite ingredients and bam - youโve got yourself the perfect snack for any occasion. The sandwich is the supreme snack everybody loves. ๐คถ
With all the leftovers from your big family meal, probably the biggest youโve had in a while now (thanks Ms Rona), youโll want to find ways to make sure all those extra trimmings donโt end up in the organic bag! Here are 7 supreme sandwiches to make your week off a little bit easier:
Classic Grilled Cheese
Who doesnโt love a classic grilled cheese? The best thing about this sandwich is that you can go as wild as you want. A great grilled cheese isnโt about following any rules - itโs about going overboard as much as you want with the cheese. Feel like filling the bread with 3 different cheeses? Go for it. Want to lather your sandwich with melted cheddar? Life is too short to hold back. ๐ง

Chicken Salad Sandwich
Baguette lovers, this one's for you. There are many alternatives to this fresh chicken sandwich, but my favourite includes plenty of fresh mint and basil, a good amount of mayonnaise, finely chopped onion and a drizzle of virgin olive oil. ๐ฅ
FoodBlog Christmas Hack: this oneโs pretty obvious, replace your chicken filling with turkey; dark meat and white meat work well - a combo of both is even better! ๐ฆ
Avocado and Egg Toast
This healthy morning sandwich is popular among most Millenials for good reason. The delicate combination of the mashed avocado and the salty, runny fried egg on toast will tempt you to eat this delight for breakfast, lunch and dinner! ๐ฅ
FoodBlog Christmas Hack: serve with a portion of spuds, fry them off in some butter and sage; maybe scatter some sage and onion stuffing into the dish too. A word of caution: you might want this all year round. ๐ง
Mini Pesto Buns
Herby, light and very Mediterranean. These mini buns are the perfect appetizers for a fun family lunch - if you can tolerate the fam bam for another festive meal. Typically, these are made by spreading fresh pesto on the buns and adding diced cherry tomatoes and mozzarella balls. When seasoned with salt, pepper and olive oil, these small bite buns will simply taste amazing. ๐
FoodBlog Christmas Hack: use your leftover Yorkshire pudding to give these buns a festive twist. Their light doughy texture makes them perfect vessels for any sort of filling! ๐
Steak and Egg Ftira
Weโve all been eager to go to a typical Maltese snack bar and order the well-loved ฤงobลผa bil-bajd u l-laฤงam. The crunchiness of the fresh Maltese ftira, the taste of the melting butter on top of the meat and the rich flavour of the drizzled BBQ sauce are simply mouth-watering. ๐ณ
FoodBlog Christmas Hack: if your family is anything like mine, you might have a meat trio to choose from on Christmas day; any leftover beef roast will make the best bajd u laฤงam ftira! ๐ฅฉ
Pear and Gouda Grill
All people with fine taste buds can appreciate the delectable combination of fruit and cheese. IF you havenโt yet tried pear and gouda, get ready to be immensely impressed. Add thinly sliced pear, arugula and just a drop of honey to your gouda sandwich and take it all in. You wonโt be disappointed. ๐
