Caucasian sandwich
1 serving
10 minutes
Caucasian sandwich is a simple yet incredibly aromatic and rich snack that reflects the essence of Caucasian cuisine. Its base is rye bread, slightly toasted in a pan to achieve a crispy crust and rich flavor. Suluguni cheese is soft and stretchy with a slight tang that envelops the other ingredients, while fresh tomatoes add juiciness and lightness. Parsley and cilantro greens reveal a fresh, herbal aroma, and a pinch of sumac adds a refined tang and Eastern note. Mayonnaise binds all components together, giving them creaminess and flavor balance. This sandwich is perfect for a cozy breakfast or a hearty snack throughout the day - rich and harmonious, it conveys the warmth and hospitality of the Caucasus in every bite.
