What is a Club sandwich?
A club sandwich is bread layered with turkey or chicken, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise. Some versions may also include ham and/or cheese. These sandwiches are typically cut in triangular halves or quarters and secured with toothpicks, if necessary. A triple-decker club has three slices of bread with two layers of ingredients.
Ingredients
This sandwich is made with simple ingredients so it’s important for those ingredients to be fresh and of good quality.
- bread – fresh bakery bread is best. Any variety is fine. Use what you love.
- turkey – deli-sliced turkey (or chicken) is perfect in this sandwich. You can also use leftover roasted turkey.
- bacon – I like thick-cut bacon for a meaty bite, but any variety is delicious.
- lettuce – crisp varieties like romaine or iceberg work best in this sandwich.
- tomatoes – use thin slices of vine-ripened tomatoes.
- mayo – mayonnaise combined with chives, salt, and pepper provides another layer of flavor.
How to make
With just a few easy steps, it only takes a few minutes to assemble this sandwich for a quick weekday lunch.
- Toast the bread. Toasting the bread is optional. Club sandwiches can be served on either bread or toast. Toasting the bread adds another layer of texture and holds up well in this sandwich.
- Mix the chive mayo – add chopped chives to mayonnaise and season with salt and pepper.
- Spread mayo on one side of each slice of bread.
- Layer one slice of bread with lettuce, turkey, tomato, and lettuce.
- Top with the second slice of bread, mayo side down. Spread the top with more mayonnaise.
- Layer this second slice of bread with lettuce, tomato, bacon, and lettuce.
- Top with the third slice of bread, mayo side down.
- Cut in half diagonally and in half again, if desired.
- Serve immediately.
Serving ideas
