In honor of the new school year, here are a few brown bag-worthy sandwiches that would put your mama's PB&J to shame:
Grilled Texas Goat Cheese Sandwiches with Pickled Peaches
Quick-pickled peaches are a delicious, sweet-tart counterpart to this grown-up grilled cheese.
One of James Beard's favorite sandwiches, this hearty Niçoise specialty is stuffed with layers of fresh vegetables, anchovies or tuna, and black olives. Make it a few hours before serving so the flavors have a chance to marry.
Caramelized Applewood-Smoked Bacon B.L.T.s
A fragrant basil mayonnaise and sundried tomatoes add layers of flavor to a classic dish.
Herbed Biscuit Sandwiches with Pimento Cheese and Prosciutto
Crisp-fried prosciutto slices and homemade biscuits take this pimento cheese sammie over the top.
