What is good on sourdough bread?

[Anonymous]

No one in our family likes sourdough bread. But the other day my husband bought two loaves by accident. I'm trying to figure out what I can put on it for my kids' lunches that they will like.
I tried one of our stand-by sandwiches, peanut butter and honey, and apparently it was awful (as I can imagine). They also like Nutella sandwiches, but I'm pretty sure that doesn't work on sourdough either. Today I did tuna, we'll see how that went after they get home. I tried cheese in yesterday's lunch, but they said that tasted awful.

So, what is best on sourdough? (particularly interested in something that isn't too elaborate for a kid's school lunch)

I can't imagine not liking sourdough!

We eat it with just butter. Or with fresh mozzarella, pesto and tomato.

WF sourdough is all we eat here. My kids use it for their sandwiches, toast, french toast. It makes AMAZING french toast.

Send it my way... I'll happily eat it all.

The best thing to do is toast with butter, or make Thanksgiving sandwiches with your leftovers.

I loved sour dough bread with orange marmalade when I was pregnant. Totally addicted.

I was going to say butter too but saw that you wanted sandwiches. Definitely the savory and fresh direction.

Grilled cheese, French toast, cream cheese & jelly

Perfect for paninis.

Perhaps the best sandwich on the planet is made on sourdough - a double BLT from Merritt's in Chapel Hill.

I also turn it into croutons when it gets a little stale.

cheese, mustard, mayo, lettuce, tomato. On sourdough.

Or just toasted with butter.

I can understand this. My kids and I love sourdough, but my wife hates it. She says it tastes like spoiled bread.

In general, if you don't like the taste, then you want to use it in a way that hides or masks the flavor. Making something like garlic bread with it where the garlic flavor can mask the sour taste is probably best for you. If you want sandwiches, perhaps some roast beef with horseradish majo or horseradish cheddar cheese.

French toast for sure! I love sourdough but I wouldn't want to use it for PB&J either.

Or just toasted with butter and serve with eggs for breakfast.
