Classic club sandwich assembly

Stack and secure for neat bites

A classic club is a triple-decker sandwich that relies on thin layers and fresh ingredients. Toast three slices of bread per sandwich and spread mayonnaise on each. Typical fillings include roasted or grilled turkey, crisp bacon, lettuce, and tomato. The middle layer often includes ham or extra turkey.

Layer like this for even distribution:

  1. Bottom slice: mayo, lettuce, turkey.
  2. Middle slice: mayo on both sides, tomato, bacon, ham.
  3. Top slice: mayo and additional lettuce if desired.

Cut the sandwich into quarters and secure each piece with a toothpick to maintain structure. Serve with pickles and chips or a light salad.

Assembly tips:

  • Slice ingredients thinly so you can stack more without overwhelming each bite.
  • Use an extra layer of mayo between layers to lock moisture and flavor.
  • Toast bread until just golden so it stays crisp but not hard.

The club is all about balance and neat presentation. Keep portions moderate so each quarter is easy to eat and the layered flavors come through equally.
