Uitsmijter
The uitsmijter is the Dutch lunch plate you are not allowed to pick up: buttered bread, a topping you choose, and usually three running-yolk fried eggs, cut with a knife and fork sitting down.

Uitsmijter Ham-Kaas
The uitsmijter ham-kaas: an open-faced Dutch lunch plate of ham and Gouda under running-yolk fried eggs, eaten with a knife and fork. Named for the bouncer who closed the café.
Turks Brood
Turkish bread; soft, slightly sweet, popular for sandwiches and with meals.
Tosti
Clamp a hinged tosti-ijzer over two slices of bread and cheese and it welds the sandwich shut, sealing a pocket of lava-hot cheese in a flat crisp shell. The Dutch grilled cheese, defined by its iron.
Tosti Shoarma
Shoarma tosti; with döner meat, modern Dutch-Turkish fusion.
Tosti Italiano
Italian tosti; with mozzarella, tomato, basil or Italian meats.
Tosti IJzer
Tosti iron; the sandwich press used to make tostis.
Tosti Ham-Kaas
Order "a tosti" in a Dutch cafe without saying more and ham and cheese is what arrives. The layering is the quiet trick: cheese against both bread faces, ham trapped in the middle, the melt the glue.
Snackbar Broodje
Snack bar sandwich; any sandwich from a Dutch snack bar.
Saucijzenbroodje
Sausage roll; puff pastry around spiced sausage meat. Bakery staple.
