open-faced sandwich

Bread without lid

An open-faced sandwich has only one slice of bread, with toppings arranged on top rather than enclosed between two slices.

The style is common in Scandinavian cuisine and American diners, where it often appears smothered in gravy: a hot turkey open-faced sandwich.

Also called an open sandwich.
