Sandwiches are a staple in snack bars, fast food and convenience stores. These tasty pockets of bread contain different spreads that can elevate the taste of a simple snack. Check out the best spreads of all time which will help you create a wide variety of tasty sandwiches below:

Pesto

You might have heard of pesto as a popular pasta sauce, but it is more versatile than you think as it can also be used as a spread. Pesto came from Italy and is made of garlic, basil, parmesan cheese and pine nuts. It makes a great substitute for mayo! You just simply spread it on a few slides of any bread you want and layer it with tomatoes, spinach and mozzarella. This combo makes a healthy lunch!

Hummus

Hummus is a popular Middle Eastern dip that is often paired with veggies and pita chips on the side. But this creamy mix of chickpeas, lemon juice, olive oil and garlic also tastes great when used as a sandwich spread. Hummus is not just tasty, it is also healthy as it has high protein and fibre content so it’s okay to sneak extra spoonfuls for your bread.

Avocado

Giving you the rich texture similar to mayo plus a healthy dose of fats, avocado makes a great vegan spread. You can prepare your avocado spread by simply slicing it and layering it on your bread or by whipping it up into guacamole. To make a guac, simply smash an avocado and mix it with lime juice and salt.

Honey mustard

Yes, honey mustard is not just a tasty dip, it is also a great sandwich spread! You can find various brands of honey mustard in almost any store or you can make your own. Just take equal parts honey, mustard and a bit of salt and pepper to make your honey mustard spread. This spread tastes perfect when spread on a piece of whole wheat bread and topped with deli turkey and cheddar cheese. 

Greek yoghurt

If you want a healthier version of mayo, try using greek yoghurt for your sandwich since it has less fat and calorie content. Since you will only be using a small amount of greek yoghurt, you can go for the full-fat version instead of the fat-free stuff. You can also throw in some herbs and spices to pump up its flavour.

Fruit jams

The classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich can be levelled up by using fruit jams or preserves. Try spreading some berry jam on your Monte Cristo or add a spoonful of apricot preserves on your turkey sandwiches.

Leviet: What makes a good sandwich?

Sandwiches are one of the most universally loved foods of all time. It’s such an easy dish to make and it has so many different fillings and flavours to choose from ranging from sweet to savoury. 

Here at Leviet, we are highly dedicated to providing the best sandwiches here in Canada. We take pride in the quality of our ingredients and the expertise of our staff in making every single item on our menu. And now, we’re about to share with you some of our secrets to making the perfect sandwich!

It starts with the bread

In order to make the perfect sandwich, you would need to start with having a great loaf of bread. The bread that you will use for your sandwich will act as the blank canvas for your fillings. Make sure that it will perfectly complement the flavour and texture of whatever you’re going to put in it.

One of the qualities of a good loaf of bread is that it doesn’t get soggy. If it perfectly houses the fillings of your choice without breaking apart, then you will know that it is a good one. A crispy crust with a soft inner layer is a general standard among sandwich lovers. 

If you have the time and you’re feeling fancy, you can always opt to bake your own bread instead. This way, you can personalize your loaf to your liking!

Use your spreads

Spreads such as mayo and mustard give your sandwiches the moisture that it needs to make your different ingredients stay in place. It also provides flavour and creaminess to the overall sandwich. Don’t be afraid to experiment with other spreads that could go well with your fillings such as barbeque sauces, pesto and vinaigrette.

It’s also important to note that you should spread them equally so that the flavour distributes evenly throughout the whole sandwich.

Only use fresh ingredients

Just like how we do it here at Leviet, using fresh ingredients elevates the flavour of your sandwiches. From the meat to the veggies, the best flavour and texture of these ingredients can only be achieved when they are in their freshest form. 

Using fresh ingredients also gives that pop of colour that we all know and love about our favourite sandwiches. 

Don’t overdo it 

Sometimes simplicity is key when it comes to making sandwiches. Not only will this help you appreciate the flavours more but it will also be less of a mess to eat. 

Don’t waste the precious ingredients and juices of your sandwiches by letting them drip all over the floor, instead only put what you need so that everything will be properly assembled and easy to eat.

Achieve balance

Whichever kind of sandwich you’re planning to make, make sure that you’ll be able to achieve a balance between all the ingredients that you’re going to use. 

Your fillings should not be oozing out of the bread when you start assembling it because this is a sign that you have put an excessive amount of it. Your ingredients should also complement each other. If you’re going to put meat in your sandwich, make sure that you will include vegetables too. 

Level up your sandwich-making game by following these simple steps. It wouldn’t take much effort and the end result will be worth it! 

The French are mostly known for their pastries and wine. Bread and desserts are a staple that French people eat every day and tourists flock to get a taste of. When foreigners visit France, they usually don’t know where to begin. The restaurants and bistros around the country can be confusing.

French cuisine is nothing without its fresh ingredients. With food sourced from all over the country and worldwide as well, you can tell that the food is going to be delicious. If you can’t visit France anytime soon, you can still try to make your own dishes at home! 

Most people are intimidated by the fact that French cuisine can be complicated to make. You can start simple and work your way to becoming a chef yourself! Take a look at some traditional French ingredients you can use to cook with: 

1. Olive oil
   The most basic ingredient you could have is the versatile olive oil. You can use it to cook almost anything and help elevate your dish. The French mainly use it as a base for their dishes, helping to bring out the flavours of the meat and sauces. 
2. Truffles
   Another classic ingredient is a member of the fungi family. Closely related to mushrooms, the truffles are used to provide flavour for oils and various dishes. They are even used to accompany meat, pasta, and risotto. 
3. Creme fraiche
   Creme fraiche is a heavy cream made of buttermilk and other dairy elements. It is usually used as a topping for different dishes like dessert, soups, or fruit. Some people love creme fraiche so much that they eat it on its own. 
4. Dijon mustard
   Whenever you hear of mustard, you could be thinking of putting it in a hot dog or a sandwich. In France, mustard is used to help add flavour and thickness to a marinade. This allows the elements of the dish to come out after cooking, making the eating experience an unforgettable one. 
5. Shallots
   The French like to use shallots as a substitute for onions and garlic. The smell and taste are milder compared to others, which allows other flavours in the dish to take centre stage. 
6. Wine
   You can never go wrong with a serving of wine. Whether you are enjoying it alongside a meal or adding it into the dish itself, you can be sure that it will be tasty. Red and white wine can be used for cooking meats and making sauces. 
7. Cheese
   France produces and consumes cheese more than any other country in the world. Certain kinds can be eaten on their own, while others like to grate and melt them to mix with traditional dishes. 

French bread
What is a French dish without the iconic bread and pastries? You can have croissants and baguettes for breakfast and as a snack by baking them fresh and adding some jam and other toppings.
