Club sandwich

Holly Nilsson’s club sandwich stacks turkey, ham, bacon, cheddar, tomato and romaine between three slices of toasted bread. Mayonnaise and butter enrich the bread, while the lettuce and tomato add crisp, fresh contrasts to the savoury fillings.

This selected version uses white bread, toasted and buttered as directed. Mayonnaise is spread over the slices as the two sandwiches are assembled.

Turkey, tomato and cheddar form the first filling layer. A mayonnaise-coated middle slice separates it from ham, cooked bacon and shredded romaine above.

The last bread slices close the stacks, which are cut into halves or quarters. Nilsson suggests toothpicks to keep the layers in place while cutting and serving.

Pickles accompany the finished sandwiches. Nilsson also offers other breads, meats, cheeses and greens, and lists fries, chips and salads as further serving possibilities beyond this selected sandwich and its pickle accompaniment.
