Bacon Mushroom Sandwich

An easy peasy bacon mushroom sandwich that’s perfect for all lunchboxes. The filling can be made ahead of time which saves a lot of time on busy mornings.

Sandwiches have always been one of my favourite types of food as it is fuss-free eating. After coming down to Australia, these have also become a way of life. I find it much easier to prepare these for our afternoon lunch – convenient for my hubby to have it at office and also make my son get used to having it on his own as he starts school next year.

And the latter reason has also given me the momentum to try and experiment with different sandwich fillings and breads to keep it interesting and different every single day. So that means you are going to see a lot of sandwich recipes on my blog like this bacon mushroom sandwich.

The filling for this bacon mushroom sandwich can be made ahead of time and this helps save a lot of time in the morning. All you need to do is assemble the sandwich with the filling and fresh veggies.

Lots of rich, umami flavours from the mushrooms and bacon and spiced with Sriracha, and accompanied by onions, tomato and rocket leaves for a delicious sandwich. Easy to make and delicious!
