  • Philly Cheesesteaks

    This classic Philly sandwich consistently ranks as our most popular sandwich recipe. Tender, well-marbled steak, sautéed onions, and melty provolone cheese come together on a soft but sturdy hoagie roll—what's not to love?

  • The Best Egg Salad Sandwich

    Mix crushed eggs with homemade or store-bought mayonnaise, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a handful of crisp scallions and celery for a bright, refreshing sandwich.

  • The Ultimate Smash Cheeseburger

    Here, we cook two 2-ounce patties instead of one 4-ounce patty, which results in double the amount of crust. Meanwhile, a slice of cheese between the patties keeps things moist.

  • The Best Classic Chicken Salad Sandwich

    It may seem obvious, but you can't make a standout chicken salad sandwich without an excellent chicken salad. We go the extra mile by cooking the chicken sous vide with lemon and herbs, keeping the meat tender and flavorful before tossing it with homemade mayonnaise.

    Serve this creamy yet light salad on top of a thick slice of crusty, toasted bread, then top with extra-crisp bacon. The good news is you can make the egg salad in advance.

  • Herby Egg Salad Sandwich

    Here's yet another egg salad sandwich recipe—we do love our egg salads here!—except this one gets a herby kick. This version is light yet rich, and flavorful with fresh dill, tangy crème fraîche, and a touch of Dijon.

  • French Dip Sandwich

    Serious Eats / Qi Ai

    This vegetarian French dip is rich, savory, and totally dunkable. Cooking the mushrooms in stages and not overcrowding the skillet ensures they brown and develop a rich flavor, and partially toasting the rolls before topping them with the mushroom mixture prevents them from becoming too soggy.

  • Labneh Tuna Salad

    Substituting thick labneh for mayonnaise adds richness, creaminess, and tanginess to the tuna salad, while generous amounts of fresh dill provide a herbaceous kick.

    There's nothing quite like a classic tuna sandwich: It's crunchy yet creamy, and easy to make. Mix crunchy bits of celery, tangy quick-pickled red onion, fresh parsley, and your favorite canned tuna. Here, a tiny bit of fish sauce or minced anchovy is the secret ingredient that adds savory depth.

  • Classic Diner-Style Tuna Melt

    Few sandwiches are as simple, convenient, and comforting as the tuna melt. Chances are, you have the ingredients to make one right now. This stripped-down version has a creamy and fluffy tuna filling, thanks to the addition of panko crumbs and extra mayo.
