Sandwich fillings

Oops! I've committed a gransnet crime! Just realised the OP wanted low cholesterol ideas.

I like to use the extra light Philadelphia cheese, only 5% fat, so you can pile it on. Good with tomato, cucumber, lean meats or salad.
I love to make bread by hand, but can't do it too often as I would eat too much. My favourite is a Paul Hollywood cheese and bacon loaf recipe, no good for low cholesterol eating though! Lovely warm from the oven or toasted, with butter.

That cheese and bacon loaf sounds lovely, shysal! Please could you put it in the recipes section?

BTW, just had a look at a tub of ordinary Philly. Its fat content is 10%. I'm just wondering, if you "pile on" the lower fat version, wouldn't that be the same in the end, and possibly even higher in calories, as just eating less of the original version?

Cook red or yellow peppers in a hot oven with a teaspoon of olive oil and fennel seeds. Put them in a bowl, cover with cling film for a few minutes. Remove the cling film. The skins will slide off easily.

They make absolutely delicious sandwich fillings with basil or a lovage for garnish. An ounce or so of almonds with those French yellow raisins afterwards provided filling protein and a taste contrast.

Sounds lovely MiceElf.Must try this one.

Bags here is a link to the bread, but I will put it in the recipe section too.
bacon and cheddar loaves
I make one large loaf in a tin rather than 4 small ones, which tend to flatten a bit on a baking tray.

What about good old peanut butter with strawberry jam it fills you up and you can work it of in the garden [ wink ]

Thank you, shysal. I might have a go at that

granniefin, yep, I'll vote for peanut butter and jam too, or cheese and jam.

peanut butter and banana yummy!

Sliced mushrooms and bean sprouts

Not that I'd eat that! Give me a good ham and tomato on lovely fresh bread with real butter and loads of hot mustard! Heaven

Hot toast with dripping and marmite!

Stop! I'm drooling!!!

I've had the same problem with my cholesterol. I was told : no butter, salt or cheese. Have swopped my bread for a wrap with low fat red pepper hummus, lots of salad leaves, fresh coriander and a good squeeze of lime. I know this was a dormant thread but would appreciate other ideas for light cholesterol friendly lunches that don't include eggs - can't stand them.

Hasn't there been research that indicates that dietary cholesterol has little or nothing to with levels of blood cholesterol? Of course, that doesn't give us carte blanche to eat huge quantities of bacon or high-fat cheeses which may present other problems, but, so far as I understand, has nothing to do with LDC. Also, surely a BLT or smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwich occasionally isn't going to be the kiss of death.

This is an old thread! I have been on a low-carb, moderate fat regime for eighteen months now.
Salad lunches are fine and my doctor has shut up.
Absolutely no sandwiches and lots of butter and cheese; my cholesterol is much lower than it was two and a half years ago and I am three stone lighter (under 9 stone).
The words "low-fat" never cross my lips now so am a bit horrified to see this thread revived!

So my advice Rosiebee would be to make a nice full-fat filling from cheese, salmon, avocado or whatever takes your fancy and throw away the bread (and the potatoes, pasta, rice etc).
