Classic Club Sandwich

Ultimate Club Sandwich

15 minutesEasyServes 2

The club sandwich is like the perfectly orchestrated symphony of the sandwich world—every layer has its role, and when they all come together, it's pure magic. I remember ordering my first club sandwich at a fancy hotel when I was little, and I was amazed by how something so simple could taste so extraordinary. The secret isn't just in the ingredients, it's in the love you put into each layer. This isn't just a sandwich, honey—it's a masterpiece between three slices of perfectly toasted bread.

Ingredients

  • • 6 slices thick-cut bread
  • • 8 oz sliced turkey breast
  • • 6 strips crispy bacon
  • • 4 slices ripe tomato
  • • 4 leaves butter lettuce
  • • 3 tbsp mayonnaise
  • • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • • 2 slices sharp cheddar
  • • Salt and pepper to taste
  • • Toothpicks for serving

Instructions

  1. 1. Toast bread slices until golden brown and crispy. Let them cool slightly so they stay crisp when assembled.

  5. 5. Start building: spread mayo mixture on one side of each toast slice.
  6. 6. First layer: place turkey and cheese on bottom slice of toast.
  7. 7. Add middle slice of toast, then layer with bacon, lettuce, and tomato.
  8. 8. Top with final slice of toast, mayo side down. Press gently to help layers stick together.

  10. 10. Serve immediately with crispy chips and pickles on the side.
