Say, two or three ingredients.  
Peanut butter and jelly, of course, although everyone has a favorite jelly. (Mine is strawberry rhubarb.)  
But my very favorite is what I’m having for dinner right now: hummus (didn’t even make it!) with smoked turkey on pita. Mmmm!

I’ve never had liverwurst in my life! Much too sheltered, I’m afraid. Maybe I’ll try it soon, now that I know what to put on it…  
I love a good BLT, too. Of course, I also just love a pure bacon on bread…lots of bacon, any kind of bread.

Slab of cheese between two slices of bread. Ungrilled.

That’s been my breakfast almost every day for 40+ years now so yeah, guess it qualifies as a favorite.

My dad always liked tomato and mayo on white bread. I prefer my tomatoes without bread, but I think it’s a favorite for a lot of people my parents’ ages.

Aged cheddar between two slices of whole wheat or rye bread. Micro-wave until the cheese is melted. Peel apart, add dill pickle slices, re-close. Serve with a glass of tomato juice or a bowl of canned tomatoes (recommended but not required).

Sharp cheddar, thick-sliced ham, garlic mayo… on 2 Eggo waffles. Grilled like a grilled cheese.

Seriously, heaven.

The correct answer is grilled cheese. If you want some meat on it, use corned beef. Trust me.

If you’re telling me to skip the Swiss cheese when adding sauerkraut and Thousand Island dressing to a nice pastrami on rye, then I’m still on board.

When it comes to simplicity, this one wins it for me. On toasted rye, preferably, but anything will do.
