Freezing Sandwiches?

[The[cookie]Doctor]

morgan78 - I often use frozen bread to make sandwiches if it hasn't been taken out the night before and never had a problem in that respect

When I made my lunches I used frozen bread and never had an issue with it going soggy. I reckon using frozen bread makes it less dry by lunchtime too.
I'd love to make Shel's lunch for her, but she leaves at 6am and I can never be @ssed to get out of bed that early I'm having an empty head moment but apart from ham and cheese (and it does seem a bit odd to freeze cheese...?) what other fillings could you use?

You can freeze cheese, we freeze the big blocks all the time, and they defrost okay. But I will admit to never having frozen a sandwich, let alone with cheese in it.
I wouldn't think that 'salad' type fillings would go well, as when they freeze, their cells burst with all the water content and go a bit yuk. I had a lettuce freeze once in the back of my fridge. However, capsicum will freeze just fine raw. I guess chicken would be okay too, but don't know about anything else that you would put with it. I suppose the best way would be to put a small amount of a number of things on a tray, bung them in the freezer (omg, I nearly said oven! ) and see how they go. I would say that this tray would also need to be covered tightly, just as a sandwich would, because if something is exposed to the air on a freezer, it is affected.

I freeze salami all the time (for pizza ) so that could work... chicken would work definitely, umm what about tuna? I used to make tuna, mayo and spring onion (mixed together) i wonder if that would work.

I had a friend who took peanut butter & jelly sandwiches out of the freezer every morning for school.

not sure about how mayo would go.

But tuna, capsicum and corn mix would be pretty safe you'd reckon.

Well having lived in the tropics for years where the bread goes stale in about half a day not to mention everything spoiling, freezing sandwiches is second nature in our house!

Use the freshest possible bread and use the sandwiches in a week or two (any longer than that and the freezer dries the bread out). I have found the best combinations to be something and relish. Always use butter/cream cheese cos that stops the relish from soaking into the bread. We have found the snaplock sandwich bags to be the best tho gladwrap and cheapo sandwich bags work ok as well.

Use any of:
ham, cheese, sliced processed cheese, salami, chicken loaf, cheese spread, silverside, pastrami, etc
in combination with any of:
fruit or tomato chutney, mustard pickles, gherkin relish, corn relish, pesto, semi-dried tomato tapenade, mustard, or even vegemite (as in vegemite and cheese)

My personal favorite is the Baxter's chutneys, they are soooooo yarmy. When I get the sandwich out of the freezer (ie on the morning it will be eaten) and pop in a handful of cherry tomatoes, some carrot or celery sticks, etc, just to add some veggie to the lunch.
