Classic Club Sandwich

1.Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.

2.Lightly butter one side of each bread slice.

3.Toast the bread slices, buttered side down, on the skillet until golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

4.Spread about 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise evenly on the non-toasted side of three bread slices.

5.On one mayonnaise-spread slice, layer 2 leaves of lettuce, 3 slices of turkey breast, and 2 slices of tomato. Season the tomato lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

6.Place a second mayonnaise-spread bread slice on top of the first layer, then add 2 slices of crispy bacon, 2 leaves of lettuce, and the remaining 3 slices of turkey breast.

7.Top with the final mayonnaise-spread bread slice to complete the sandwich stack.

8.Secure the sandwich with toothpicks at each corner to hold the layers together.

9.Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the sandwich diagonally into four equal triangles.

10.Serve immediately with your choice of side, such as potato chips or a pickle spear.
