Ingredients
  

  • Bread: Choose your favorite type—white whole grain, or even a hearty sourdough will work wonders. The key is to have a sturdy base that can hold all the tasty fillings.
  • Knob or Main Filling: The star of the show! Depending on your preference, this could be a flavorful spread, cheese, or a unique ingredient that adds character to your sandwich. (We’ll dive into variations in later sections, so feel free to get creative!)
  • Fresh Vegetables: Crisp lettuce juicy tomato slices, and crunchy cucumbers are the perfect addition for some freshness and texture.
  • Condiments: Mayo mustard, or your favorite sandwich sauce to bring everything together. These little touches will enhance the overall taste and make every bite irresistible.
  • Protein Optional: Want to make it heartier? Add some deli meat, grilled chicken, or even a plant-based option like hummus or grilled tofu.

Instructions
 

Prepare Your Bread

  • Start by toasting your bread if you like it crispy. You can also skip this step if you prefer it soft. Toasting adds a nice crunch and enhances the overall texture of the sandwich.

Spread the Knob Filling

  • Take your chosen Knob (whether it’s a savory spread, cheese, or other filling) and spread it generously on one side of the bread. Make sure to cover the entire surface to get that perfect flavor in every bite.

Layer the Fresh Veggies

  • Next, add your fresh vegetables. A few crisp lettuce leaves, a couple of juicy tomato slices, and some crunchy cucumber rounds will add freshness and balance the richness of the filling. Don’t overstuff—just enough to bring in that refreshing crunch!

Add Protein (Optional)

  • If you’re making your Knob Sandwich heartier, now’s the time to layer in your protein. Whether it’s some grilled chicken, deli meat, or a plant-based option like hummus, this step is where you can really customize the sandwich to your liking.

Top It Off

  • Close the sandwich by placing the other slice of bread on top. If you toasted it, the golden crust will create a satisfying crunch when you bite into it!

Slice and Serve

  • Finally, slice the sandwich in half for easy serving. You can cut it diagonally for that classic sandwich look or straight down the middle for a more casual approach.
