Gourmet Sandwiches

1. Cut the pieces of bacon in half, fry until crisp and set aside to cool.
2. Cut the bread rolls open and remove a little of the dough in the middle so that
each roll is slightly hollow.
3. Spread some soft butter on the insides of the rolls, then layer the ingredients as
preferred. Try any of these combinations: bacon, cream cheese, rocket and olives
or grated cheddar, cucumber, asparagus, tomatoes and spring onions, or bacon,
tomato, cucumber and spring onions. Season to taste with salt and freshly
ground black pepper.
4. Close the rolls and wrap up tightly with string. Cover in clingfilm and refrigerate
until ready to pack into the picnic basket.
5. When ready to serve, unwrap the rolls and cut into two or three pieces. Secure
with a toothpick or wrap in a serviette and tie with a piece of raffia or string.
