How do you get the tomatoes, onions, and lettuce just right and make everything stay inside the bread?

If you are using meat, sandwhich should be layered as follows:
Slice of Bread
Mustard or Mayo
Meat
Cheese
tomatoe
onion
lettuce
more mustard or mayo if you want
slice of bread
The key is that the meat needs to be between the condiment and the cheese. Otherwise the condiment does not have a chance to bring out the flavor of the meat.
Also, use less of everything if you are having problems with the sandwich holding together. Use thin slices, etc.

Look, here's the way I do it:
1.First u pick a bread that's really healthy and is Whole Grain, then u toast the 2 slices.
2. Then u carefully put a layer of mayo covering the 2 parts of the inside.
3. Then the mustard over the mayo.
4. Now, the cheese.
5. The ham.
6. The lettuce.
7. The tomato.
8. Onions.
Then u pull it tight.
The key is not using TOO much of anything, so that it dosen't get out that easily, and do everything really neatly and with order.
Hope it helps!.

My favorite breads are rye, whole wheat, pumpernickle, and sourdough. Rolls work well too. Slice in half and remove some of the center dough. This leaves more room for your sandwich stuff. Use thin slices of tomato and onion. Chop or shred the lettuce. Add meat, cheese, or other veggies..., keeping most of the fixin's in the center. Then when you take a bite, hold the crust ends of the bread together. This will help to keep the sandwich from falling apart. Don't forget the dill pickle on the side.
Enjoy!

The key is using the right type of bread for the kind of ingrediants that you are using. If you are using a lot of stuff on your sandwich
then using flimsy bread is not going to hold up.
You also ave to look at how you are stacking the items, think of the way that you get sandwiches from a restaurant. they don't put all of the heavy ingrediants on the bottom because they fall off. Spread the items evenly.
And yes, mayo, mustard, cream cheese or some type of lubricant helps to bind the ingrediants.

fresh bread. Tomato needs to go between two lettuce leaves so it does not soak the bread. Cut in triangles (tastes better than rectangles) hold carefully eat

It doesn't matter if the sandwich is all sloppy... the taste is paramount. As long as you have quality ingredients you will never have complaints! If you truly want to go first class, get fancy bakery bread, like a good sourdough bread, get farmers market vegetables, cold cuts from a good butcher, and fancy mustard... it's an unbelievable eating experience!

Bread first, meat goes on bottom bun sauces go on top of meat. Then you use the crown and spread the mayonnaise then the lettuce then the tomatoes.
Oh you also put onions on top of the meat with the sauces

A Good Sandwich to me starts with good bread. Miracle Whip, and I don't like everything to stay in the sandwich.
Guacamole is good on a sandwich too.

This may be helpful for a perfect sandwich: remove the seeds from the tomatoes before you put it in, this will stop the sandwich from getting all gooey and disgustingly humid.

the secret is understanding the relationship between the sandwich and its contents, and not contesting the ability of the bread itself. with greed comes an inability for a sandwich to maintain its natural structure
