Classic tramezzini fillings are ham & cheese, tuna & tomato, chicken salad, salmon, tuna and artichokes, mozzarella & tomato. Always seasoned with mayonnaise. And remember tramezzini are made with crustless bread: you can buy it already crustless or cut out the crust from plain white bread.
Here’s a tramezzini sandwich recipe from modern Italy, the one that has slightly opened its doors to new cuisines and ingredients: curry turkey tramezzini.
So let’s post it for you.
