Description
A cozy, layered sandwich filled with crispy bacon, turkey, lettuce, and tomato, ready in under 20 minutes.
Ingredients
For the Sandwich
- 3 slices slices of bread, per sandwich, toasted (Choose sturdy bread like white, sourdough, or sandwich loaf.)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (Spread thinly to prevent sogginess.)
- 2 slices cooked turkey breast (Can substitute with extra ham or turkey.)
- 2 slices cooked ham or extra turkey (Optional, can replace with extra turkey.)
- 2 slices cooked bacon, until crisp (Cook until golden to maintain crunch.)
- 2 slices tomato (Pat dry to keep sandwich from becoming soggy.)
- 2 leaves romaine or iceberg lettuce (Adds crunch and freshness.)
- 1 tablespoon butter, for toasting bread (Lightly butter one side of each slice.)
- to taste salt and pepper (Use to season tomato and layers.)
- 2 toothpicks to hold sandwich together (Helps to keep the sandwich layers intact.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon until crisp. Drain on paper towels.
- Butter each slice of bread lightly on one side and toast in a skillet or toaster until golden and crisp.
- Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the unbuttered sides of the toast.
- On the first slice of toast, layer turkey, lettuce, and a slice of tomato seasoned with salt and pepper.
- Place the second slice of toast on top, mayo side down. Add ham, bacon, and another lettuce leaf.
- Top with the final slice of toast, mayo side down. Gently press to hold together and insert toothpicks.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the sandwich into two or four triangles and serve immediately.
Notes
Keep the components separate if preparing in advance, and toast bread well to maintain crispness. Pair with chips or salad.
