It's the new darling of chefs and foodies alike: the chopped sandwich. More than just a tasty bite, it's a masterpiece of culinary craft. Dive into the reasons behind its popularity and how to whip up your own.

What is a chopped sandwich?

As the name suggests, the magic of this sandwich lies in its preparation. Instead of being blended or ground, the ingredients are finely chopped. This technique keeps the textures intact and enhances the flavors.

Chopped sandwich - unlimited possibilities!

A crispy ciabatta serves as the canvas for a spread of finely chopped delights. Here, creativity knows no bounds - combine Parma ham with mozzarella, or perhaps salmon with avocado, or even deli meats with cheese. The choices are limitless!
