Ingredients

Scale

Bread and Spreads

  • 3 slices of sliced bread
  • Butter, softened
  • 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise

Vegetables and Seasonings

  • Romaine lettuce
  • 2 tomato slices
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Meats and Cheese

  • 2 pieces of bacon, cooked
  • 1 thick slice cheddar cheese
  • 2 slices turkey
  • 2 slices ham

Instructions

  1. Toast Bread: Toast the three slices of bread until they turn golden brown. Once toasted, spread a thin layer of softened butter on both sides of each slice to add flavor and prevent sogginess.
  2. Prepare First Layer: Spread mayonnaise on one side of the first slice of bread. Top it with fresh romaine lettuce and two tomato slices. Season lightly with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, then place the cooked bacon slices on top for a crispy, savory bite.
  3. Assemble Middle Layer: Spread mayonnaise on both sides of the second slice of bread. Place this slice mayo side down over the bacon. On top, add the thick slice of cheddar cheese, followed by the slices of turkey and ham to build a hearty center.
  4. Complete Sandwich: Spread mayonnaise on one side of the third slice of bread. Place this last slice on top of the meats, mayo side down, to complete the sandwich structure.
  5. Secure and Serve: Use four toothpicks to secure the sandwich layers firmly together. Cut the sandwich into four triangles and serve immediately for the best texture and taste.

Notes

  • For crispier bacon, cook bacon slices until golden brown but not overly crisp.
  • You can substitute romaine lettuce with iceberg or leaf lettuce depending on preference.
  • Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper according to taste.
  • Serve the sandwich immediately after assembly to preserve the crunchiness of the toasted bread.
  • Optional: You can add additional condiments like mustard or pickles for extra flavor.
