A Must-Try Peruvian Triple Sandwich Recipe: Sandwich Triple

Sandwich triple arranged on a wooden board with avocado, boiled eggs, and tomatoes

Not all sandwiches are created equal. Some are double, and others are triple, like in Peru. Like many other staples in Peruvian cuisine, the sandwich triple relies on the abundance of local fresh ingredients. It requires ripe avocados, a layer of eggs or chicken (or both), and the third layer of sliced tomatoes to add freshness to the taste. Making this sandwich is not only quick and easy but super fun, too!

Ingredients

A plate with mayonnaise, sliced tomatoes, avocado, and hardboiled eggs

  • 16 slices of white bread (crust removed)
  • 2 to 3 ripe avocados
  • 2 tomatoes, very thinly sliced
  • 1 lime
  • ¾ cup chicken salad, egg salad, or just sliced hard-boiled eggs
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise, or to taste

How to Prepare Sandwich Triple, Peruvian Style

Step 1

Start with the avocados. Slice them as thinly as you can and drizzle lime juice on top. Sprinkle salt and pepper on the tomatoes, and trim the crusts from the bread.

Step 2

It’s time to assemble your sandwich triple. Take a slice of bread and spread mayonnaise on top. Then, layer avocado slices and top with another slice of bread that has mayonnaise on both sides. Arrange the middle section of the sandwiches by spreading the chicken or egg salad or just the sliced hard-boiled eggs. Add another slice of bread.

Step 3

Spread the tomato slices on top and place the last slice of bread. Push down gently. Cut the sandwiches into triangles, and serve your sandwich triple, Peruvian style.
