Or
My friend and her mom growing up used to freeze egg salad sandwiches. They would individually wrap the sandwiches and bag them before freezing. When they wanted any they would take as many as they wanted from the freezer, butter the outsides and grill them like grilled cheese sandwiches. By the time the outside was toasty looking at the inside it still had a bit of a chill. It was a nice combo.
I usually serve fruit and green salad with these sandwiches.
