Sandwich ingredients

Method

Sandwich assembly

1

Prepare bacon

Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 6–8 minutes, turning occasionally. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. If you prefer, bake bacon at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes on a wire rack over a rimmed sheet pan. Set aside and keep warm.

2

Toast bread (optional)

If toasting, spread butter on one side of each bread slice. Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and toast buttered side down until golden, 1–2 minutes per side, or toast in a toaster until lightly browned. Use toasted bread for a firmer sandwich; skip for softer texture.

3

Season vegetables

Pat tomato slices dry with paper towel. Lightly sprinkle tomato slices with about 1/8 tsp salt and a pinch (about 1/8 tsp) black pepper to bring out flavor.

4

Spread mayo

Spread 1 tablespoon mayonnaise on one side of the bottom slice of bread and 1 tablespoon on one side of the top slice of bread (or all on the two outside faces of the stacked 3-slice sandwich).

5

Layer meats and cheese

On the bottom slice (mayo side up), layer the meats: first place 4 slices turkey evenly, then 4 slices ham, then 4 slices roast beef slightly overlapping to cover. Top meats with 2 slices cheddar cheese to help bind layers.

6

Add vegetables and bacon

Place 2 lettuce leaves over the cheese, then arrange 4 tomato slices and 4 onion rings evenly. Break the cooked bacon slices in half if needed and lay over the tomato and onion so the bacon is distributed across the sandwich.

7

Finish and press

Place the top slice of bread (mayo side down) on top. If using three slices of bread (a true club), build as follows: bottom slice (mayo up) + first stack of meats/cheese, middle bread slice (mayo up) + second stack if making double-decker, top bread slice (mayo down). For this recipe using 3 slices: after first stack place middle bread slice mayo side up, add remaining turkey/ham/roast beef and bacon/cheese/veg as desired, then top with final slice. Press gently to compact.

8

Cut and serve

Secure sandwich with toothpicks if tall, cut diagonally into halves or quarters. Serve immediately while bacon is warm and bread is fresh. Makes 1 large club sandwich (or share as 2 smaller portions).
