Read on to find out how to make an open sandwich. Of course, you might not like chillies, if that's the case, just leave them out.  

Pretty much anything goes just as it would in a regular sandwich, but an open-faced sandwich is served so you can see the ingredients.

It's the best way to serve a sandwich for presentation as it's far more impressive visually, making a great lunch or brunch, especially if you have guests.

Like any other sandwich, they are easy to make, but I think they're more fun to make!
