The most popular, most requested sandwich on the Boston College campus is the New England Classic, available at three dining locations.

“If it’s ever been taken off any menu, there has been an outrage,” says Michael Kann, associate director food and beverage, BC. “Alumni come back just to get this sandwich. It’s iconic. People know it and ask for it.”

What makes it great? It’s the combination of cheese and apple, a real New England thing, Kann says, adding that the sandwich’s one downfall is the high cost of the bread used to make it, but it’s that upgrade that pushes it into sandwich stardom.

Yield: 1 sandwich

honey mustard, as needed
2 slices cran-apple bread
4 oz. roasted turkey
1 oz. Cheddar cheese
2 thin apple slices
1 pickle on the side

1. Spread honey mustard on one slice of bread and layer turkey, apple and cheese. Cover with other slice.

2. Grill on a Panini press until cheese is melted. Slice in half and serve hot, with pickle on the side.
