5 Classic Braunschweiger Sandwich Ideas

We’re going on a Braunschweiger sandwich choose-your-own-adventure and it’s going to be fun, delicious, and a tad retro. We have everything from a classic liverwurst sandwich on white bread with American cheese and onion to my Grandfather’s personal favorite – Braunschweiger and jam! (Yes, it’s true.)

These sandwiches all feature the delicious Jones Dairy Farm Braunschweiger. If you arenโ€™t familiar with Braunschweiger, itโ€™s also commonly known as liver sausage or liverwurst and is an excellent addition to classic sandwiches and even charcuterie boards. It has a rich and salty flavor and when eaten in sandwich form, it reminded me a bit of bologna – in a good way! The liver sausage is fully cooked, Certified Gluten-Free, and ready to use. Itโ€™s also an excellent source of protein, iron, and vitamins.
