 What’s New

Sandwich Fillings

The filling is the heart of the sandwich. It is placed between or on top of the bread. It
provides flavor and body to the sandwich.

This explains the activity earlier, when you choose what sandwich you prefer you
might choose the second picture rather than the first one. If a sandwich has a filling
and spread rather than just plain bread it arouses our appetite and gives a pleasing
appearance to the sandwich.

What Is It

TYPES OF FILLINGS
1. Dry Fillings - refer to ingredients such as sliced or cooked meat, poultry,
and cheese.

2. Moist Fillings – refer to ingredients mixed with salad dressing, or

mayonnaise.

Meat & Poultry

Meats used as fillings should be cooked,

covered, and refrigerated. Slice just
before the sandwich is to be prepared to
avoid drying out and lose flavor. Thinly
sliced meats are more tender and juicier
than thickly sliced.

1. Beef products - sliced roast beef,

hamburger patties, steaks, corned
beef.
2. Pork products - Roast pork,
barbeque pork, ham, bacon.
3. Poultry - Turkey breast, chicken
breasts.
4. Sausage Products - salami,
frankfurters, bologna, liverwurst,
luncheon meats, grilled sausages. https://tinyurl.com/y2gtmmh4

 Cheese
Cheese dries out rapidly when
unwrapped and sliced, when slicing is
done ahead, the slices should remain
covered until ready to use:

Sandwich cheeses - cheddar types,

Swiss types, provolone, cream cheese,
process cheese, cheese spreads.

Fish & Shellfish

fillets.

Purpose of Spreads

3. They also add moisture.

Butter

Butter protects the bread from moisture, used

soft butter to spread on bread. You may soften
butter by whipping in a mixer or by simply
letting it stand at room temperature. You may
use margarine as a substitute or flavored butter.

Mayonnaise

Mayonnaise is often preferred to butter as a

spread because it contributes more flavor but
sandwiches made with mayonnaise should be
served immediately or refrigerated at once and
kept refrigerated until served.
