Description
A mouth-watering club sandwich layered with crispy bacon, turkey, and fresh veggies, perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 slices thick-cut white or whole wheat sandwich bread (preferably sturdy sourdough)
- 4 strips thick-cut bacon, cooked until crispy
- 4 ounces thinly sliced deli turkey breast (or roast chicken)
- 3 ounces thinly sliced ham (optional)
- 2 slices sharp cheddar or Swiss cheese
- Crisp Romaine or iceberg lettuce leaves, washed and dried
- 1 medium ripe tomato, sliced
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: pickles or avocado slices
Instructions
- Cook the bacon: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Lay 4 strips of thick-cut bacon in the pan without overlapping. Cook for 6-8 minutes, flipping occasionally, until crispy and golden. Remove and drain on paper towels. Save a tablespoon of bacon fat for toasting bread if desired.
- Toast the bread: Toast 3 slices of bread until golden and crispy using a toaster, toaster oven, or pan-fry with a little butter or reserved bacon fat. This takes about 3-5 minutes.
- Prepare the spread: Mix 3 tablespoons mayonnaise with 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Slice the tomatoes: Cut the tomato into medium-thick slices (about 1/4 inch). Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
- Assemble the sandwich: Lay one slice of toasted bread on a work surface. Spread a generous layer of the mayo-mustard mixture. Layer 2 slices of turkey breast, crisp lettuce leaves, and a couple of tomato slices. Place the second slice of toasted bread on top.
- Build the next layer: Spread mayo on the second slice of bread. Add ham slices, crispy bacon strips, and cheese. Top with the last slice of toasted bread. Add pickles or avocado if desired.
- Secure and slice: Use sandwich picks or toothpicks to hold layers together. Cut the sandwich diagonally into quarters and serve immediately.
Notes
For a unique twist, try different types of bread or add extra layers with veggies like cucumbers.
