What is an Open Face Sandwich?
The traditional sandwich calls for meat, cheese and other condiments to be arranged between two slices of bread. This works well for most cold cuts, sliced cheeses and heartier meats such as hamburgers or meatloaf. The traditional sandwich does not work so well with softer cuts of meat, stuffing mixes or gravies. These sandwich items are often served over a single slice of bread, an arrangement known as an open face sandwich.
