A Southerner cannot live by bread alone and thus, the sandwich was created. In the South, we know how to whip up great grab and go sandwiches that will have you yearning for more.
The best thing about these 8 sandwich recipes is that each is its own unique creation. Each crumbly morsel is an invention that was only limited by the imagination of its creator. Oh, and did I say they are all scrumptious!

2. The best chicken salad ( h/t Belly Full)
This is the quintessential chicken salad sandwich recipe. I suggest you use a rotisserie chicken from your favorite market. Paired with the cranberries, apples, and pecans, this version is great alone, on lettuce, or with the suggested croissant rolls.

5. The best triple-decker club sandwich (h/t Oh, Sweet Basil)
This sandwich hits all the right notes. It's sweet, savory, crispy, fresh, smoky and packed with so much flavor, you'll be singing till the cows come home. The added avocado makes it seem more like a California club, but here in the South, we love avocado too.

You can't get much easier than this. And, with leftover holiday ham just around the corner, you'll want to remember this easy recipe. Traditional egg salad ingredients and ham never tasted so good. These make great sandwiches for holiday gatherings as well.

7. Stuffed breakfast biscuits with sausage and egg
The recipe below reminds me a little bit of these crepes my mom used to make growing up. She would bake up these maple-syrup-infused sausage patties and then stuff them inside crepes. I always imagined I would do the same when I had a family, but I can never seem to find the time to make crepes - even on the weekends! So I pivoted and improvised until I came up with stuffed biscuits, something I do have time to make. Get the full recipe here.
