Ah, the classic club sandwich—triple-layered, crispy, and packed with flavors. Here’s a step-by-step recipe to make it just like the ones in cafes:
Ingredients (serves 1–2)
- 3 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or your choice)
- 2–3 slices cooked turkey or chicken breast
- 2–3 slices cooked bacon
- 1–2 slices cheddar or Swiss cheese (optional)
- Lettuce leaves
- Tomato slices
- Mayonnaise
- Butter (optional, for toasting)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Toast the bread:
- Lightly butter the bread slices if desired, then toast until golden brown.
- Prepare the layers:
- Spread mayonnaise on one side of each slice of toast.
- First layer: Place lettuce, tomato slices, turkey or chicken, and a slice of cheese (optional). Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Second layer: Add another slice of bread on top, mayonnaise side down. Then layer bacon, lettuce, tomato, and more turkey or chicken if desired.
- Top and secure:
- Place the final slice of bread on top.
- Optional: Insert toothpicks in the corners to hold the sandwich together.
- Serve:
- Cut diagonally into halves or quarters.
- Serve with fries, chips, or a pickle on the side.
Tips:
- You can swap turkey/chicken for ham or roast beef.
- For extra flavor, spread a little mustard or pesto along with the mayo.
- Club sandwiches are best fresh and warm, so serve immediately.
If you want, I can also give a gourmet club sandwich version with avocado, grilled chicken, and a spicy mayo—it’s a step up from the classic but still easy to make.
