Ingredients
- 2 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough, whole grain, rye, or a baguette)
4–6 slices of roast beef (deli-style)
1–2 slices of cheese (Swiss, cheddar, or provolone)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard or horseradish sauce (optional)
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
Lettuce or spinach leaves (optional)
1–2 tomato slices (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Spread Dijon mustard or horseradish sauce (if using) on one or both slices of bread.
- Layer the roast beef on one slice of bread, arranging it evenly across the slice.
- Add your cheese slices on top of the beef.
- If you’re adding vegetables, layer the lettuce, tomato, red onion, and pickles on top of the beef and cheese.
- Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Place the second slice of bread on top to complete the sandwich.
- Press down gently, slice the sandwich in half, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Grilled version: Toast the bread or grill the sandwich to melt the cheese and add extra crunch to the bread.
- Different spreads: Swap the Dijon mustard or horseradish sauce for barbecue sauce, mayonnaise, or even a pesto spread for a new twist.
- Add extras: For extra flavor, you can add roasted peppers, mushrooms, or a slice of bacon.
- Use a different cheese: Try blue cheese, gouda, or mozzarella for a different flavor profile.
