Method

Prep

1

Prep ingredients

Cook bacon until crisp (pan-fry over medium heat 6–8 minutes, turning once). Drain on paper towels. If turkey/ham aren't pre-cooked, cook until safe and cooled, then slice thinly. Wash and dry lettuce leaves. Slice the tomato into 4–6 thin slices. If using cheese, have slices ready. Soften butter if using.

2

Toast bread (optional)

Lightly butter one side of each bread slice if desired. Toast bread in a skillet or toaster until golden and just crisp, about 2–3 minutes per side in skillet or 1–2 minutes in toaster. Allow to cool slightly.

3

Make spread

In a small bowl mix mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until smooth. Season with a pinch of salt and a little black pepper (reserve most pepper for the sandwiches).

Assemble sandwiches

4

Layer first deck

Place one slice of toasted bread, toasted side up if toasted. Spread about 1 tablespoon of the mayo-mustard mixture evenly over the bread. Arrange a layer of turkey (about half of the turkey), then a leaf or two of lettuce, and 1–2 tomato slices. Season tomato lightly with a pinch of salt and some freshly ground black pepper (about 1/4 tsp).

5

Middle slice

Place a second slice of toasted bread on top of the first deck, spread 1 tablespoon mayo-mustard on the top of that slice. Add the ham slices and cheese (if using), then two strips of cooked bacon.

6

Top deck

Top with the third slice of bread, spread remaining mayo-mustard (about 1 tablespoon) on the top. Press down gently to compact layers evenly.

7

Secure and cut

Insert wooden cocktail picks through the sandwich, one near each corner (or two through the sandwich if making two halves). Using a sharp knife, trim off the crusts if desired, then cut the sandwich diagonally into quarters. If making multiple sandwiches (using 6 slices per sandwich), repeat assembly for each sandwich; this recipe yields two club sandwiches.

Serve

8

Arrange quartered sandwiches on a plate with a pickle spear beside each quarter or each sandwich half. Serve immediately while bacon is warm and bread is slightly crisp. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy.
