​Arme riddere

(Danish/French cuisine)

Pain perdu in French known as French toast in USA and England.

An open-faced sandwich egg washed in egg and whole milk coated in sugar and cinnamon and topped with raspberry jam.

Parisertoast

(Danish/French)

Parisian toast comes from France, where it is called a Croque Monsieur.

Croque Monsieur vs Croque Madame

Both are with ham and cheese, but Croque Madame is also with a fried egg on top.

Gruyère or emmentaler are both tasteful and good for melting (like cheddar)

Monte Cristo sandwich

(American cuisine)

Evolved from the French Croque Monsieur.

Comes both in a savory version with a mild or a Dijon mustard and the American sweet version with

 powdered sugar (icing sugar) and jam.

Grilled sandwich

Cheddar and Gruyere is a buddy pair especially when melted that can be used for a grilled cheese sandwich.

Bologna sandwich

(Italian/American cuisine)

Katsu sandwich

(Japanese cuisine)​​

Egg sandwich

Egg saladchicken salad, ham salad, macaroni salad, tuna salad, lobster or crab salad.

Besides of just simply adding a fried egg as a topping to a single slice open-faced toast, there is a technique with using a ring mold to make a hole in the center of the bottom slice and fill it with egg yolk/white before it goes into the panini grill as a closed sandwich.

Eggs and a curry salad are considered a "buddy pair". A classic combination in

Danish cuisine, particularly as a staple topping for open-faced sandwiches (smørrebrød).

Swedish mushroom toast

Swedish mushroom toast (svamptoast) is a popular Scandinavian open-faced sandwich made of a medium to thick slice of loaf of white bread, featuring sautéed wild mushrooms - typically chanterelles, in a creamy sauce served on butter-fried bread (mind not getting too soaked in fat). It is a simple, comforting dish served as a starter or light meal, seasoned with shallots, parsley, and lemon.

Toast with shrimp, asparagus, lemon juice, mayo and garnished with dill.

Skagen toast

Refers to Skagen, a region in North Jutland, Denmark, but which is actually a Swedish dish.

Toast Skagen is a classic Swedish appetizer consisting of crispy, butter-fried white bread topped with a creamy mixture of prawns (shrimps), mayonnaise, sour cream (or crème fraîche), fresh dill, and lemon. It is typically garnished with whitefish or bleak roe and often served as a starter at dinner parties and celebrations.

Stjerneskud

Stjerneskud is a Danish bistro classic, luxurious open sandwich, traditionally served on toasted French bread. It is known as a "shooting star" and typically consists of butter-fried plaice fillets, steamed fish, shrimp, asparagus, caviar/dill, garnished with mayo or dressing.

-Lately, sliced Brioche toast bread emerged in the local supermarkets, but is expensive.

Welsh Rarebit

Originally called Welsh Rabbit. Originated in the 1500s as a popular dish among Welsh working-class families who couldn't afford meat like rabbit, using cheese on toast as a substitute. A dish of hot cheese sauce, often including ale, mustard, or Worcestershire sauce, served on toasted bread.

With a fried egg on it becomes a Buck Rabbit. Golden Buck or Buck Rabbit is a Welsh Rabbit crowned with a poached egg. Yorkshire Rabbit is topped with both bacon or ham and a poached egg. Irish Rabbit has herbs, onions, and vinegar added to the sauce. English Rabbit uses red wine.

Stick a tomato on it or blended with tomato or tomato soup and it becomes a Blushing Bunny.

Basically, all varieties are just Posh cheese on toast.

Posh cheese is a company based in Leeds, West Yorkshire.

Sandwich Scene - The Vampire Diaries

A 'highschool sandwich' is a male's wish for a love triangle △ with two females.

In highschool they don't call them lovers.

If you're sexually active and taking drugs, you've described half of all highschool girls in America.

A 'manwich' is a vulgar slang expression.

Panini grill​

Panini originated in Italy as a lunchtime meal for workers.

A panini grill is an electric contact grill that heats food from both the top and bottom simultaneously to make crispy sandwiches such as paninis, but it can also be used to grill vegetables, meat and make other types of hot food. It differs from a regular toaster in being more versatile and able to accommodate larger and fuller sandwiches, often with characteristic grill stripes on the toast.

Technique

For a single-sliced open-faced sandwich you typically smear the upward-facing surface with butter before adding the toppings. For toppings with shrimps and other seafood do not use butter, but vegetable margarine.

Important - Butter is good for a ham/cheese toast. But butter is repulsive for shrimps and seafoods!

For a closed sandwich with fillings, the opposite is the case. You smear the two slices of toast, so that the smeared slices face the panini-grill, so that the two surfaces get golden and crisp, likewise with a calzone pizza pocket, where the tomato paste is on the top-outside, and not as the tomato base like for a conventional open-faced pizza.

Panini Grill.

Panini grill opened 180°

Can be used to separate aromas or to create larger batches and easily replace a heavy iron cast grill pan to make eg. hamburgers with.

For a Neapolitan pita bread, I recommend 6 minutes toasting time without taking any sneak peek.
