Four TikTok Sandwich Trends to Try

Celebrate British Sandwich Week this May by refreshing your menu with the sandwich trends dominating TikTok feeds. Think generously filled deli-style subs, vibrant Caprese layers with fresh mozzarella and basil and hearty breakfast baps that lean into comfort.
ITALIAN GRINDER SANDWICH

Italian Grinder

Deli Meats
Layer up a mix of 2-3 sliced meats. Match this sandwich’s Italian-American roots and choose salami, pastrami, prosciutto or turkey. 

Salad
Coat shredded iceberg lettuce with a dressing of mayo, garlic paste, Italian seasoning, parmesan, chopped pepperoncini and a splash of red wine vinegar.

Cheese
Top with a slice of tasty cheese that will melt perfectly when grilled – think smooth mozzarella, gouda and provolone or peppery Monterey.

Chopped Caprese

Mozzarella
Go for a good-quality mozzarella and tear into small chunks or slice and grill on the bread then add your cold chopped fillings.

Tomato
Finely dice a beef tomato or chop up ripe cherry varieties and season with plenty of salt to bring out the sweetness.

Basil
It’s not a Caprese without fresh basil leaves for that subtle pepperiness. Tear instead of chopping to keep leaves vivid green. 

CHOPPED CAPRESE SANDWICH
BREAKFAST BAP

Breakfast Bap

Eggs
Good eggs make a breakfast bap. Try fried with runny yolks, scramble with a knob of butter or opt for chopped soft-boiled.

Bacon
Crisp up streaky bacon under the grill or fry in a pan to add saltiness and crunch. Choose smoked for extra flavour.

Cheese
For a proper British combo, pick a mature cheddar that will melt easily. Try American slices if you want a stringier cheese pull.

Gluten-Free Melt

Bread
Source a top-notch gluten-free bread that will hold fillings without crumbling, such as a sourdough or fluffy pitta.

Tuna
Use a jar of tuna in oil for maximum flavour. Drain and mix with mayonnaise, seasoning and a dash of lemon juice.

Halloumi
Slice up salty halloumi and fry gently until it
starts to brown. Try breadcrumbing small chunks for added crunch.
