Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked roast meat (beef, chicken, turkey, or pork)
- 8 slices bread (sourdough, whole grain, or any preferred bread)
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons mustard
- 4 leaves lettuce leaves
- 8 slices tomato slices
- 4 slices cheese slices (optional)
- 2 tablespoons butter (optional, for toasting bread)
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Step 1
1. Thinly slice or shred the leftover roast meat, ensuring it's easy to bite into and evenly distributed in the sandwich.
Step 2
2. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and mustard together. This will act as a tangy spread for your sandwiches.
Step 3
3. Lay out the bread slices. Spread the mayo-mustard mixture evenly on one side of each bread slice.
Step 4
4. On 4 of the bread slices, layer the lettuce leaves, followed by the tomato slices.
Step 5
5. Add the sliced roast meat on top of the tomatoes. Season lightly with salt and black pepper to enhance the flavors.
Step 6
6. If desired, add a slice of cheese on top of the meat for an extra layer of flavor.
Step 7
7. Place the remaining bread slices on top to form sandwiches. Press gently to hold everything together.
Step 8
8. (Optional) If you prefer toasted sandwiches, heat a skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter. Toast each sandwich for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Step 9
9. Slice each sandwich in half diagonally and serve warm or at room temperature.
