Adam Sandler “Spanglish” sandwich

Recently, Adam Sandler made headlines thanks to the news that a sequel to the 1996 Happy Gilmore The film is in preparation. Since the film was received with quite a bit of fanfare, I decided to rewatch one of my favorite Adam Sandler films: Spanish.

For those who don’t know: In the 2004 film SpanishIn The 40 Years of Food, Sandler’s character John Clasky delivers a culinary masterpiece that goes beyond mere sustenance and becomes a symbol of love, care and cultural fusion. This iconic creation, known as “The World’s Best Sandwich,” embodies the essence of the film’s narrative and serves as a metaphor for the complexity and beauty of relationships.

Prepared with meticulous attention to detail, the sandwich is not just a combination of ingredients, but also a reflection of John’s devotion to his family and his ability to find harmony in the chaos of life. As John prepares each component of the sandwich – from the perfectly toasted bread to the layers of savory fillings – he adds his own personal touch.

This masterpiece becomes the focus of the film and represents John’s desire to bridge the gap between cultures and bring his loved ones closer together. With the “World’s Greatest Sandwich,” Adam Sandler’s character delivers a universal message of love, acceptance, and how the power of food can overcome language barriers and connect people on a deeper level.

After seeing how easy it was to make and getting a feel for what it meant, I headed into the kitchen to see if this sandwich actually lived up to its name. Here’s how it went.

Ingredients for the “largest sandwich in the world”

For this recipe you will need the following ingredients: bacon, sourdough or white bread, Monterey Jack cheese, mayonnaise, butter lettuce, tomato, egg, salt and pepper.

How to make the “best sandwich in the world”

To make this delicious sandwich, start by placing a cooling rack in a baking sheet and placing the bacon on top. Bake at 350° until crispy. This should take about 15 minutes. You can also fry your bacon in a skillet, but we prefer this more hassle-free method.

Meanwhile, lightly toast your bread until it reaches the desired doneness. Once toasted, put cheese on one half of the bread and put it in the oven to melt for about 5 minutes. While the cheese is melting, fry an egg to your liking (I personally prefer runny yolk, so I opted for the fried egg).

Next, spread mayonnaise on the second slice of bread. Once the cheese is melted, assemble your sandwich by layering lettuce, tomatoes, fried egg and crispy bacon on top of the cheese-covered bread. Complete the sandwich by placing the mayonnaise-covered bread on top of the assembled layers.

What I thought about the “best sandwich in the world”

While it wasn’t the “best sandwich in the world,” it was certainly delicious. Basically, it’s a BELT sandwich (bacon, egg, lettuce, and tomato), one of those sandwiches you can eat any time of the day. And since it’s a assembled option, you can customize it to your taste.

Having made this sandwich myself before, I know how delicious it can be when prepared with the same love and care as Adam Sandler’s character in the film. Still, this is a sandwich that stands the test of time and, with a few additions of my own, can truly be the best in the world.
