Other Spreads

Although butter and mayonnaise are the most widely used spreads, almost any food of a spreadable consistency can be used to add flavor interest to sandwiches, including Pesto, Tapenade, Liver Pâté, Hummus, Babaganouj, Guacamole, and Romesco. Be aware, however, that most of these do not protect the bread from soaking up moisture from the filling. Moist spreads are best if applied just before serving.
