Some Sandwhiches I would like to try!

12. Open-Faced Prosciutto and Asparagus
Lay thinly sliced prosciutto on half a baguette. Top it with asparagus spears that've been steamed or grilled until quite tender. Toss some arugula with olive oil and lemon, and lay that on top of the asparagus. A little Dijon wouldn't hurt. Eat it open-faced to halve the carb load.
2. Fig and Prosciutto
Layer pieces of ciabatta or a sturdy sandwich roll with grated fontina or mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced prosciutto, sliced figs, and arugula. If you have a panini maker, grill the sandwich until it's hot and crispy. Otherwise, cook it on a grill pan or skillet until the cheese melts.
6. Grilled Cheese with Pears
Thickly butter (or brush with good olive oil) both sides of two pieces of sandwich bread. Layer the insides with sharp cheddar cheese or fontina, and thinly sliced, fully ripe pears. Pan-grill (use a panini maker if you have one) until the bread is golden and the cheese has melted.
8. Eggplant Parm Sandwich
Toss eggplant slices in olive oil, salt, and pepper, and grill or sauté on both sides until tender. While they're still hot, top them with thinly sliced mozzarella and let it melt. Serve on crusty bread with fresh tomatoes, basil, and grated Parmesan.
11. Turkey Apple Burger
Combine ground turkey with finely chopped onion, diced tart apples, salt and pepper, and a few leaves of chopped fresh tarragon or sage; grill or pan-cook. Serve on a hamburger bun with arugula or other salad green and a smear of Dijon mustard to amp up the flavor even further.
14. Spicy Crab-Salad Sandwich
Mix lump crabmeat with a bit of sesame oil, a chopped Thai (or other) chili, scallion, garlic, and salt. Mound it all on a roll with shredded napa or Savoy cabbage, and squeeze lime juice over everything.
15. Croissant with Herbed Goat Cheese and Spinach
Mix goat cheese with freshly chopped oregano and thyme, and spread it on a split croissant. Add spinach or arugula, and chopped olives or roasted red peppers. (Sliced turkey or ham is optional.)
19. Niçoise Hero
Mash good-quality tuna (canned in olive oil) with some pitted black oil-cured olives and drained capers. Spread it into a scooped-out roll with lettuce, tomatoes, raw or steamed green beans, and a squeeze of lemon. Sliced hard-boiled egg is good in here, too.
25. Roast Beef with Horseradish and Cucumbers
Mix horseradish with enough mayo to make it spreadable, and smear it on whole-grain bread. Top with thinly sliced roast beef, thinly sliced cucumbers, thinly sliced onion rings (optional), and arugula or another spicy green to complete the effect.
