Freezing Sandwiches?

[Netix]

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.

dh makes his sangas every sunday night for the week. every day, without fail, he has his ham & cheese sanga. Its easy, quick, we just use gladwrap. They toast up nicely too if there's a sanga press available.

Another friend of mine makes up smoothies 2 days at a time - leaves half in the fridge, takes half with her the next morning for brekky on the run.

I usually premake sandwiches for the week and take them to work...No problems at all!

I do that for my toasties - and then I wrap them in baking paper so I'm not leaving a mess in the toaster at work (and don't have to deal with feral looking toasters)

Punkin, the baking paper tip is genius!!
