For the Melon Sandwich- 2 slices of bread
- 1 melon (medium size)
- 3 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp vinegar
- 2 Tbsp condensed milk
- A pinch of salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thoroughly wash the melon. Then, carefully peel the skin and use a spoon to gently scoop out the seeds from the center. Removing the seeds is important to prevent the sandwich from becoming watery.
Step 2
Slice the prepared melon thinly, about 0.3 to 0.5 cm thick. If they’re too thick, they might be difficult to bite into. In a bowl, combine the sliced melon with 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of vinegar, and a small pinch of salt. Gently mix everything together, being careful not to mash the melon pieces. It’s best to assemble the sandwich immediately after mixing to enjoy the fresh flavor and texture.
Step 3
Spread 2 tablespoons of condensed milk evenly on one side of each slice of bread. The condensed milk will help soften the bread and add a lovely sweetness.
Step 4
Lay out a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Place one slice of bread, condensed milk side up, onto the paper. Generously spread the prepared melon mixture over the bread. Top with the second slice of bread, condensed milk side down. Wrap the sandwich tightly with the parchment paper or plastic wrap to hold its shape.
Step 5
Cut the wrapped sandwich in half for easy serving. Use a bread knife or a sharp knife to make a clean cut. Your sweet and crunchy melon sandwich is now ready to enjoy!
