Miga Sandwich Preparation

white bread

🥗Healthier: whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: sliced bread

Whole grain bread adds fiber and nutrients.

ham

🥗Healthier: turkey

💰Cheaper: bologna

Turkey is leaner while bologna is often less expensive.

cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Low-fat cheese reduces calories.

mayonnaise

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: sour cream

Greek yogurt cuts calories while adding creaminess.

Trim the crusts off the bread slices to create even squares or rectangles.

Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each bread slice.

Layer ham on the buttered side of one slice of bread.

Add a layer of cheese on top of the ham.

Spread mayonnaise on another slice of bread and place it on top of the cheese, mayonnaise side down.

Repeat layering with additional ingredients like tomato and lettuce, followed by more cheese and ham if desired.

Top with another slice of buttered bread, butter side up.

Press down gently to compact the sandwich.

Cut the sandwich into smaller pieces, either triangles or rectangles.

Garnish with olives or parsley if desired.
