open-faced sandwich

I love an open-faced sandwich.

Magnolia resident Karen Ruud recommends the shop as a first stop in Ballard “for an authentic open-faced sandwich, cakes and pastries, and best house-made pickled herring, fish cakes, and a well stocked selection of cheeses, chocolate, gifts and books.”

Some of the leaves were even pristine enough to adorn an open-faced sandwich!

While living in Kentucky, I learned to love a Hot Brown, a mess of an open-faced sandwich that's smothered in velvety mornay sauce and topped with a single ruby slice of tomato.

In an era when bread and/or yeast has sometimes been hard to come by, an open-faced sandwich reduces bread use by 50%.
