Working with what I had tonight. Earthgrains Thin Buns, light mayo, hearts of palm, cucumbers, garlic pepper, veggie cheese. It was actually quite a tasty sandwich.
Roast Beef, Salami, Horseradish Cheese, mayo, butter, mustard and horseradish on Hearty Italian Bread.
The following is a link to perhaps my favorite food thread ever on this board, a sandwich thread of course. Not all are simple, but I want to share. Be warned, this thread is a zombie, but oh so good.

Bread.
Combination of equal amounts yellow mustard and mayo. (Slathered on both sides if you’re decadent)
Deli turkey slices.
Slice baby swiss cheese.
Sliced cucumbers.
Inhale. Repeat if (and it always is!) necessary.
Bread is a key component to any awesome sandwich.
La Brea Olive bread with simple egg salad made from egg, salt, pepper and mayo.
Also good on La Brea rosemary olive oil
Grilled cheese made from whole wheat, cheddar, mustard and tomato on a Foreman grill. Simple, easy and delicious.
Wow, so many of these sound great! I’d agree that a well made BLT is heavenly.
Cracking some black pepper over an X & cheese sounds good, too!
My favorite is braunschweiger, onions, and mustard on shepherds bread. If you have one for lunch it will stay with you 'till dinner.
Cream cheese and tomato, with a paper-thin slice of onion, and salt, pepper and dill.
And also, believe it or not, salami and peanut butter.
I don’t know. But I love croissants. And I’ve recently wondered if rather than making croissants into substitute toast a la butter or jam I should make them into the ultimate sandwich a la tuna or cold cuts or PB&J or whatever…
,mm
I agree, but I would also add Tabasco to that. The vinegar tang works really well here.
According to Michael Showalter, as long as you have bread and mustard and anything else, you have a delicious sandwich. His examples:
Bread - chicken cutlet - mustard: you have a delicious sandwich.
Bread - corn on the cob - mustard: you have a delicious sandwich.
Bread - box of pencils - mustard: you have a delicious sandwich.
Bread - one kind of mustard - another kind of mustard: you have a delicious sandwich.
Can’t quite follow him all the way on that…
One of my favorites:
Thin sliced (and cold) cucumber on soft white bread with mayo and black pepper.
Also, when I have left over green beans: heat them up and put them on white bread with butter. Throw on some mashed potato too, if available.
Hey, that’s the one I was going to mention. Baguette, jamon serrano, manchego. Lately though I’ve been trying manchego and a thin layer of quince paste. Brilliant.
OTOH the maximalist side of me has been enjoying The Stinger from our local sub place. It’s a cheesesteak…with chicken fingers and hot sauce. It’s MAD, MAD I tell you.
Cheddar cheese and Branston pickle. It’s one of the things I miss most from the UK.
Oooh that sounds good. I’m going to try it. I’ve been doing the peanut butter and bacon thing forever but I never thought to use different meat with the peanut butter.
If I can get good tomatoes, then I will eat them with red wine vinegar. And I will make tomato sandwiches. Just good white bread, mayo, tomatoes, and a bit of salt. But they have to be GOOD tomatoes. Supermarket tomatoes are generally not worth eating.
Egg or tuna salad on rye bread is sooo simple, and so delicious. If it’s egg salad, I slice the eggs in half, take out the yolks, and mash the yolks into the mayo and mustard mix. Then I add the diced whites.
I just got the most amazing ham sandwich from the deli. It was a simple sandwich with ham, lettuce, mayo, and bread, and yet it tasted much better than when I’ve put those ingredients together for myself.
I do the peanut butter, mayo and pickle thing.
mmmmmmm
A ham ‘n’ cheese sandwich made with wholemeal bread isn’t exactly exotic, but a quick squeeze from a tube of sun dried tomato paste raises it above the mundane.
