HOW TO MAKE A CLUB SANDWICH

Categories     Meat and Poultry Sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 7

2-3 slices of white bread
2-3 strips of bacon
Mayonnaise
Sliced chicken or turkey breast
Sliced tomato
Lettuce
Salt and pepper (to taste, optional)

Steps:

  • Fry 2-3 slices of bacon until they're crisp. Add bacon to a cold, flat-bottomed skillet and heat it slowly on low-medium heat, turning the bacon frequently. Fry the bacon until it's crisp and foamy. Blot the bacon with a paper towel to remove the grease, then set it aside until you're ready to assemble the sandwich. If you'd prefer, you can also use pre-cooked or microwavable bacon for a quick alternative. Turkey or soy bacon are lower-fat alternatives. Be careful when you're frying the bacon, since the grease can splatter and burn you! Use a good pair of tongs to help you turn it safely.
  • Toast 3 slices of white sandwich bread. Club sandwiches are usually made from plain white sandwich bread, toasted until it gets crisp. To make a traditional double-decker club sandwich like the kind you'd get at your favorite diner, toast 3 bread slices so you can place 1 in the middle of the sandwich. Or, if you prefer a simpler single-layer sandwich, use 2 slices instead. If you want to cut the calories of this sandwich down, eliminating the middle slice of bread is a good way to do it. It'll still taste great! Lay the slices of bread out in a row on a clean surface when you're done toasting them.
  • Spread mayonnaise on 1 slice of bread. Use a table knife to spread a thin layer of mayonnaise onto 1 side of the bottom piece of toast, to taste. The mayo helps to keep the sandwich moist, but if you don't like it, or don't want the extra calories, it's perfectly fine to leave it off. Some recipes also call for a layer of butter on both sides of each slice of toast, which will make your sandwich even more rich and moist.
  • Layer on the sliced chicken or turkey. On top of the bottom slice of bread, add a few pieces of thinly sliced poultry. Chicken is the traditional choice, but turkey is also commonly used. Use deli meat, or slice up your own freshly roasted chicken or turkey breast if you want a thicker sandwich. The meat on a club sandwich is almost always cold. If you want to roast your own chicken or turkey for a club, all the better, but let it cool to at least room temperature before making the sandwich.
  • Top off the first layer with some lettuce and tomato. Add 1-2 leaves of crisp iceberg lettuce, and 1 or 2 slices of fresh tomato. If you don't have iceberg, romaine, bibb, or other crisp lettuce varieties work perfectly fine. Spinach and other greens are also great substitutions, but iceberg lettuce is most traditional on a club. If you like, season your ingredients with a little bit of salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add another slice of bread and mayo. You're halfway there! To start the second layer, you can add another slice of toasted bread, with mayo on both sides, if you're feeling indulgent. If not, feel free to hold the mayo, or leave the middle slice off entirely. If you choose not to add the middle layer of bread, add mayo to just 1 side of your second piece of toast. Put the bacon on the sandwich, top it off with the second bread slice, and you're done.
  • Place the bacon on the second layer of bread. Start the second layer of the sandwich by laying the 2-3 pieces of cooked bacon on the top of the center piece of bread. You can break up the pieces if they're a little too big for the sandwich. Alternatively, you can also put bacon on the bottom layer.
  • Add another layer of chicken or turkey, tomato, and lettuce. On top of your bacon, complete the second layer of the sandwich. Start with chicken or turkey, then put the lettuce and tomato on top. Go a bit easier on the second layer, so the sandwich doesn't become top-heavy.
  • Top the sandwich with the final piece of toasted bread. When you've got your tower built up, top it all off with another slice of bread, pressing down slightly to get the sandwich under control. If you want, you can add mayo to the top slice before stacking it on.
  • Cut the sandwich along both diagonals. Now comes the fun part. One of the most famous features of the club sandwich is the way it's cut. Use diagonal slices to make those classic little triangles and show off all the good stuff inside! To start, cut your sandwich from corner to corner, across one diagonal, and then again across the opposite diagonal, cutting it into 4 triangle-shaped slices. Use a sharp chef's knife for the best results. If you made a classic double-decker, you've got a lot of sandwich layers to cut through. Some people like to cut the crusts off before slicing the sandwich along both diagonals, so the sandwich slices are perfect triangles. Push a frilly toothpick down through the middle of each piece of the sandwich to help hold the sections together.
  • Serve your sandwich with chips or fries in the middle of the plate. Arrange the sandwich sections on the plate, spread out slightly with a gap in the middle, which you can fill with your side. French fries and potato chips are probably most common, but you could also pair a club with potato salad, coleslaw, or a green side salad, and a pickle spear. For a warm and soothing side, add a cup of chicken noodle or tomato soup. You can even dip your sandwich in it!

Categories     main-dish

Time 10m

Yield 4 main-course servings.

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 slices white bread
3/4 cup mayonnaise
8 romaine lettuce leaves
16 slices vine-ripened tomatoes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
16 slices crispy cooked bacon
16 ounces sliced roasted turkey
16 frill picks, or plastic cocktail swords
Potato chips
Sweet pickles

Steps:

  • Toast the bread in a toaster, or under a broiler on both sides. Cut the lettuce leaves in half crosswise and form into 8 neat stacks.
  • To make a double-decker club: On a clean work surface, arrange 3 bread slices in a row. Spread 1 tablespoon mayonnaise over 1 side of each bread slice. Place a lettuce stack on top of the first bread slice, top with 2 tomato slices, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Place 2 slices bacon over the tomatoes (broken to fit neatly if necessary) and top with 1/8 of the turkey (without letting any hang over the sides). Season the turkey with salt and pepper, to taste. Repeat with the second bread slice. Carefully place the second layered bread slice on top of the first layered bread, turkey side-up. Cover with the third bread slice, mayonnaise side-down.
  • Pin the sandwich's layers together by piercing them with 4 frill picks or cocktail swords through the top bread slice, in 4 places in a diamond-like pattern, all the way to the bottom bread slice. Repeat entire process with the remaining ingredients to form 3 more sandwiches.
  • Using a serrated knife cut each sandwich, diagonally, into 4 triangular pieces (each piece should be secured in the center with a pick or sword). Serve with potato chips and pickles.
