Rezept-Fragen & Antworten
- → Welches Brot eignet sich am besten für diese Sandwiches?
Weißes Sandwichbrot ohne Rinde eignet sich ideal, da es weich und leicht auszustechen ist. Vollkornbrot kann für mehr Ballaststoffe verwendet werden.
- → Wie lässt sich eine vegetarische Variante herstellen?
Thunfisch lässt sich gut durch fein gehacktes, gekochtes Hähnchen oder pflanzliche Alternativen ersetzen.
- → Wie lange halten sich die Sandwiches frisch?
Im Kühlschrank aufbewahrt bleiben sie bis zu einem Tag frisch und schmecken gekühlt am besten.
- → Kann ich andere Füllungen verwenden?
Ja, frische Kräuter, Frischkäse oder Avocado passen gut als alternative Cremespreads.
- → Wie mache ich die Augen- und Dekorverzierungen?
Olivenringe bilden die Augen, in deren Mitte eine Kapernbeere oder ein kleines Stück Karotte gesetzt wird.
