Abstract: A method of making a crustless sandwich from two slices of bread with outer crusts, the method comprising: placing a first slice of bread on a platen; forming a mass of a first food spread onto the central portion of the first slice of bread in a position spaced inwardly from a marginal area where the mass is formed with an inner lower layer with an outer rim extending upwardly from the lower layer to define a closed pocket or receptacle recess in the mass; placing a second food spread in the receptacle recess; closing the receptacle recess with a layer of the first food spread generally coextensive with the mass and supported on the outer rim of the mass to encapsulate the second food spread into a center composite food layer; placing a second slice of bread over the first slice to cover the center composite food layer; cutting the bread slices in unison in a cut pattern to remove the crusts of the slices; and, pressing the two bread slices together by force through the slices against a pressure surface on t

Abstract: A crustless sandwich made from two slices of baked bread. The sandwich includes first and second matching crustiess bread pieces. The bread pieces have the same general outer shape defined by an outer periphery with central portions surrounded by an outer peripheral area, the bread pieces being at least partially crimped together at the outer peripheral area. A central composite food layer is positioned between the central portions of the bread pieces and spaced inwardly of the crimped outer periphery area. The composite food layer includes a first and second layer of a first food spread and a second food spread that is substantially encapsulated between the first and second layer of the first food spread. The first food spread is nutritionally enhanced.

Abstract: A method of making a crustless sandwich from two slices of bread with outer crusts, the method comprising: placing a first slice of bread on a platen; forming a mass of a first food spread onto the central portion of the first slice of bread in a position spaced inwardly from a marginal area where the mass is formed with an inner lower layer with an outer rim extending upwardly from the lower layer to define a closed pocket or receptacle recess in the mass; placing a second food spread in the receptacle recess; closing the receptacle recess with a layer of the first food spread generally coextensive with the mass and supported on the outer rim of the mass to encapsulate the second food spread into a center composite food layer; placing a second slice of bread over the first slice to cover the center composite food layer; cutting the bread slices in unison in a cut pattern to remove the crusts of the slices; and, pressing the two bread slices together by force through the slices against a pressure surface on t

Abstract: A frozen sandwich for commercial sales comprising a first portion of bread cut from a first slice of crusted bread. This first portion has an outer surface, a given periphery and a center area surrounded by a marginal area. A layer of unmelted solid cheese is deposited on the center area and is spaced inwardly from the marginal area. A second portion of bread cut from a second slice of crusted bread and overlying the first portion and the layer of cheese has an outer surface, a periphery generally matching the periphery of the first portion and a marginal area generally matching and coextensive with the marginal area of the first portion. The marginal areas are smashed together sufficiently to form a seal generally matching the peripheries of the bread portions. The surfaces of the bread portions are heat scorched to transform a thin skin of the portions into toasted bread.

Abstract: A frozen sandwich for commercial sales comprising a first portion of bread cut from a first slice of crusted bread and having an outer surface, a given periphery and a center area surrounded by a marginal area. A layer of masticated, plasticized cheese deposited on the center area of the first slice and spaced inwardly from the marginal area. A second portion of bread cut from a second slice of crusted bread and overlying the first portion and the center layer of cheese. The second portion also having an outer surface, a periphery generally matching the periphery of the first portion and a marginal area generally matching and coextensive with the marginal area of the first portion where the marginal areas are compressed together to form a seal generally matching the peripheries of the bread portions and the outer surfaces of the bread portions are heat scorched to transform a thin skin of the cut bread portions into a toasted bread condition.
