club sandwich

A classic club sandwich is a stacked sandwich. It has layers of meats, cheeses, and veggies. It's typically served on toasted bread. Here’s how you can make one:

Ingredients:

• 3 slices of bread (white or whole wheat)

• 3-4 slices of cooked turkey or chicken breasts

• 2 slices of cooked bacon

• 1-2 slices of ham (optional)

• 2 slices of cheese (cheddar or Swiss)

• Lettuce leaves

• 2-3 slices of tomato

• Mayonnaise

• Butter (optional, for toasting)

• Salt and pepper (to taste)

• Toothpicks (optional, for serving)

Instructions:

1. Toast the Bread: Toast the 3 slices of bread until they are golden brown. You can lightly butter them before toasting for extra flavor.

2. Prepare the Layers:

   • Cook the bacon until crispy, and set aside on paper towels to drain excess fat.

   • Slice the tomato and set aside the lettuce leaves.

3. Assemble the First Layer:

   • Spread mayonnaise on one slice of toast.

   • Add the lettuce, followed by a slice of turkey or chicken breast, a slice of ham (if using), and one slice of cheese.

   • Place the second piece of toast on top.

4. Assemble the Second Layer:

   • Spread mayonnaise on top of the second piece of toast.

   • Add a couple of tomato slices, more turkey or chicken, and two slices of crispy bacon.

   • Top with lettuce.

5. Complete the Sandwich:

   • Spread mayonnaise on the final slice of toast and place it on top of the sandwich stack.

   • Optionally, use toothpicks to secure the sandwich at the corners. Then, slice it into quarters, usually diagonally.

6. Serve:

   • Plate the sandwich quarters and serve with chips, fries, or a side of your choice.

Enjoy your delicious club sandwich!
