CLASSIC SANDWICHES

Sandwiches for brunch can be light and easy, from a simple wholegrain roll spread with Philadephia Cream Cheese, good sliced cheese, cucumber and baby leaf salad, to something more tangy like Brie and Chutney or Coronation Chicken. Remember, sandwiches are only as good as the bread you use, so use good quality fresh bread from a good baker, such as L-Aħwa bakery on St Trophimus Street, Sliema.
