No pics, but I'll take one next time...
But I've been doing kinda 'mini pizza' toasties lately.
Hand-cut poppy seed wholemeal bread.
Pop them in the toaster.
Meanwhile, cut up some fresh peppers, put them on a plate, and work in some olive oil.
When the slices pop out of the toaster, grab one slice. Butter it, smooth on some tomato sauce, then lay on slices of mature cheese.
Put this slice into the microwave for one minute.
Meanwhile, butter the other slice, more tomato sauce, then lay on a slice or two of ham.
Ding! Microwave has finished, remove slice with now melted cheese.
Now put the plate of peppers into the microwave, for one minute.
Meanwhile, sprinkle onto the melted cheese slice some mixed herbs with oregano, black pepper, and place onto that some sliced olives and sliced tomatoes.
Ding! Microwave has finished again - remove peppers, and place on top of everything else.
Bring the other slice with the ham down on top of this slice, squish together - then cut in half.
Sit down and enjoy. It's LOVELY, I tell thee

With the single edit above
dont have a picture, but I have made this a few times and its utterly brilliant
butter 2 pieces of bread in anticipation of the bacon frying
get some quite fatty streaky bacon, fry the whole packet so you have quite a bit of fat left over and the bacon fat is crispy
get a piece of bread and fry that in the bacon fat, spooning over the fat onto the slice so it covers it all.
put half the bacon on one piece of buttered bread, lay the fried slice ontop, then put the other half of bacon ontop then put the other buttered bread ontop.
eat
and yes, you will have just eaten a whole packet of bacon in one sitting, but its ok
i have found after extensive testing that the best bacon for this is the oscar mayer smoked streaky bacon in sainsburys and morrisons in the yellow vacuum packet.

This. but we cup a hole into the middle slice with a mug and fry an egg in it before letting some cheese melt over the top. Unsurprisingly nicknamed the Heartstopper!butter 2 pieces of bread in anticipation of the bacon frying

I have made that before, and I would say that it is "OK" and nothing more. Looks awesome but tastes distinctly average.Have made some big sandwiches in my time and here are a few:
Nice stack of BLT.
Ham, roast chicken, edam, cucumber, mayonnaise and dijon mustard on fresh crusty baguette.
Extrawurst, liptauer, gouda.
Meatwich: Ham, parma ham, salami, boursin, mustard, tomato, lettuce leaf in a salted crust bun.
Plus size ham salad sandwich.
^^^ haha That's a proper no nonsense sandwich.
For me. Mix up tuna or leftover salmon, fish season, paprika, dried herbs, mayo, onions, scotch bonnets, maybe some garlic powder.
Grab a wholemeal seeded bun, spread butter, cream cheese and some baby spinach leaves.
Add the tuna mix
Add some chopped up cherry tomatoes.

Looks awesome but tastes distinctly average.there was a lengthy thread or two on this sandwich a few years back. most changed it about especially the method. toasting the inside of the bread, using steak strips and aiming for low moisture levels [cooling everything before layering] also improved the result.

Take a nice big section of poppy seeded baguette...
Add some butter, some guacamole, and some cheese & bacon coleslaw...
Add iceberg lettuce, tomato, cucumber and Gruyere Swiss cheese...
Add wafer-thin honey roast turkey, pastrami, corned beef, sweet chilli sauce and some red onion...
Close sandwich with difficulty...
Cut in half and plate up.
