Chef's Note

This sandwich bar is perfect for picky eaters as everyone can customize to their taste! For a time-saving tip, prep all vegetables and store them in airtight containers the night before. You can also pre-cook the bacon and reheat it briefly before serving. For a healthier option, try using Greek yogurt mixed with herbs as an alternative to mayonnaise.

  • 10 slices sliced provolone cheese

  • 1 cup hummus

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise

  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard

  • 1/4 cup honey mustard

  • 3 medium sliced tomatoes

  • 1 large sliced cucumber

Instructions
  • 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) for toasting bread and cooking bacon.

  • 2

    Cook bacon in the oven on a lined baking sheet for about 15 minutes until crisp. Once done, drain on paper towels and crumble or cut into pieces.

  • 3

    While bacon is cooking, wash and prepare all vegetables: slice tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and avocado. Separate and wash lettuce leaves.

  • 4

    Arrange bread options on a serving platter. If desired, lightly toast some bread slices in the oven for 3-5 minutes.

  • 5

    Create a simple vinaigrette by whisking together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.

  • 6

    Set up your sandwich bar by arranging all ingredients in separate serving dishes or on a large platter:

  • 7

    Place bread options on one side.

  • 8

    Arrange meats and cheeses on a platter.

  • 9

    Create a section for spreads (mayonnaise, mustards, hummus) in small bowls with serving spoons.

  • 10

    Display vegetables on another platter, keeping the avocado slices lightly dressed with lemon juice to prevent browning.

  • 11

    Put the vinaigrette, salt, and pepper in small containers with spoons for drizzling and seasoning.

  • 12

    Add the crumbled bacon to its own dish.

  • 13

    Provide a cutting board and knife for any additional cutting needs.

  • 14

    Let everyone build their own custom sandwiches with their preferred ingredients.

  • 15

    For younger children, you may want to prepare simple sandwiches in advance or help them assemble their choices.
