Make your Boxing Day feast extra special with this ultimate Christmas leftovers sandwich by Sarah Cook. If leftover pigs in blankets are a rarity in your house, then you can use stuffing instead.
Method
- Sandwich two of the bread slices together and toast in the toaster (leaving soft bread on the inside).
- When done, spread the soft bread with butter and mayonnaise (if using).
- Butter the untoasted bread on both sides.
- Put the turkey on one of the toasted slices of bread, then a layer of ham, then cheese.
- Top with the buttered untoasted bread.
- Add the lettuce, then the pigs, and dot the slaw over the top.
- Sandwich the other toasted bread slice on top.
- Cut in half or quarter and use a few cocktail sticks to secure the sandwich, with a gherkin or two on top.
- Eat with crisps or fries.
