Vegetable and Cheese Sandwich

Step 1

Slice the 2 dark bread rolls in half horizontally. If you like, toast the cut sides in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden, about 2 minutes.

Step 2

Spread 1 tbsp mayonnaise on the bottom half of each roll. Season with a pinch of the salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Layer 2 lettuce leaves on each bottom half, folding to fit. Slice the 1 tomato into thin rounds and arrange over the lettuce.

Step 4

If using meat, place 2 oz of cooked meat on each sandwich, folding to fit. Sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded cheese over the meat on each.

Step 5

Close the sandwiches with the top halves. Press gently and serve immediately, or wrap in foil and toast in a skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until the cheese melts.

Step 6

Cut each sandwich in half if desired and serve warm or at room temperature.
