Popular Toppings and Garnishes

You can find many different things on these open sandwiches. Some common toppings include:

  • Meats like ham, salami, or sausage. These meats are often cured, meaning they are preserved to last longer and taste great.
  • Sliced hard-boiled eggs.
  • Different kinds of cheeses or cream cheese.
  • Fresh vegetables like cucumber and tomato.
  • Special spreads made from fish, or salads like potato salad.

To make them look even better, people often add a garnish. This could be a slice of bell pepper, a pickle, a radish, or fresh parsley.
