Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 3 – 4 ounces (85 – 113 grams) turkey or chicken breast, sliced
- 3 slices of crispy cooked bacon
Bread and Vegetables:
- 3 slices of white or whole wheat bread, toasted
- 2 – 3 leaves of fresh lettuce
- 2 slices of tomato
- Optional: sliced avocado
Condiments and Seasonings:
- 1 – 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Optional: sliced cheese
Instructions
- Crisp each bread slice to a golden hue using a toaster or skillet at medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
- Generously coat one side of each bread slice with a smooth layer of creamy mayonnaise.
- Assemble the first layer by delicately placing fresh crisp lettuce, juicy tomato slices, and tender turkey on the first bread slice, then season with a delicate sprinkle of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Position the second bread slice atop the first layer, mayonnaise facing upward, and add another layer of lettuce, crispy bacon strips, and optional gourmet enhancements like creamy avocado or melted cheese.
- Crown the sandwich with the final bread slice, positioning it mayonnaise-side downward to create a perfectly structured triple-decker masterpiece.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the towering sandwich diagonally into four equal triangular sections, securing each quarter with a slender toothpick to maintain structural integrity.
- Present the club sandwich immediately while ingredients remain fresh and bread stays crisp, ensuring a delightful culinary experience.
Notes
- Select bread with a sturdy texture like sourdough or whole wheat to prevent sogginess and maintain structural integrity.
- Toast bread until crispy golden brown for extra crunch and enhanced flavor profile.
- Layer ingredients strategically to distribute flavors and prevent bread from becoming damp.
- Customize sandwich for dietary needs by substituting turkey with plant-based protein or using gluten-free bread for allergen-friendly version.
