Tramezzini consist of slices of white bread topped with various ingredients. We’ll show you how to make Italian sandwiches at home.

The term “Tramezzini” comes from tramezzo, which means something like “in between” in Italian. The special thing about the Italian sandwiches is the tremezzini bread. It is very similar to toast bread, but with a softer texture and no crust. In addition, it is more fine-pored. If you don’t have tramezzini bread, you can also simply use normal slices of toast for the preparation.

It is best to buy the covering for your tramezzini at the weekly market. There you can usually get regional and seasonal groceries and thus save unnecessarily long transport routes. Also use organic products to support organic farming. She refrains from using synthetic chemical pesticides that are bad for the soil quality. If you eat eggs, take extra care to buy eggs without chick shredding; This means that the male chicks are also raised. Unfortunately, this is not necessarily the case with organic quality either.
