Do you remember club sandwiches at Hot Shoppes restaurants? This club sandwich makes a complete dinner. It is believed that the sandwich was created in 1894 at the Saratoga Club House (a gentlemen only gambling house) in upstate Saratoga Springs, New York.
6 slices good sandwich bread, toasted
Mayonnaise
Green leaf lettuce
4 slices tomato
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 slices cooked applewood smoked bacon
4 thin slices deli ham (I used Black Forest or ham-off-the-bone)
4 thin slices deli turkey
4 slices Swiss cheese (I used Emmenthaler, but any good Swiss will be delicious)
Arrange 3 slices of toasted bread in a row on a large cutting board.
Spread mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread.
Add some lettuce to each slice.
Top the first slice of bread with 2 tomato slices, and season with salt and pepper.
Then add 2 slices of bacon.
Place the second slice on top of bacon, and spread the top of the slice with a little more mayonnaise.
Add some lettuce, top with ham, turkey and finally 2 slices of cheese.
Season again with salt and pepper and top with the final slice of bread.
Secure the sandwich with 4 cocktail picks.
Repeat to make a second sandwich.
Cut the bread into triangles and serve with potato chips, if desired.
Makes 2 triple-decker club sandwiches to serve 2 to 4
