Ingredients and substitutions
See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
- Lamb – I use leftover BBQ pulled lamb for these grilled sandwiches as the tender and juicy meat works well in a cheesy sandwich. But any leftover roasted or grilled lamb would work. BBQ pulled chicken is another delicious alternative.
- Sauces – Depending on how saucy your lamb meat is, add extra BBQ sauce, hot sauce such as Sriracha, mayonnaise, mint chimichurri, or tzatziki.
- Cheese – Quick melting cheese such as mozzarella works well. Try adding some crumbled feta for extra flavor.
- Bread – Sourdough is a classic choice but I typically use a regular sandwich bread such as my cold-fermented bread.
- Oil – Cover the outside of the bread with some extra-virgin olive oil, a lick of butter, or some mayonnaise to make the bread extra crispy.

Put the filled sandwich into the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side pressing down lightly with a spatula.
Sandwich press
I use a Breville Adjusta Grill & Press to make grilled sandwiches at home. It quickly heats up, making grilled sandwiches in a mere 5 minutes.
