Ingredients
Scale
Sandwich
- 3 slices wheat bread (or bread of choice)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (Duke’s, Hellmann’s, or Trader Joe’s recommended)
- Lettuce leaves
- Tomato slices
- Salt and pepper to taste (for the tomatoes)
- 2 ounces sliced deli ham
- 2 ounces sliced turkey
- 2 slices bacon, cooked
- 1 slice Colby jack cheese (or cheese of choice, such as cheddar or Swiss)
Instructions
- Toast the Bread: Toast your bread slices to your desired level of crispiness and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Cooling helps prevent the lettuce from wilting when assembled.
- Spread Mayonnaise: Evenly spread mayonnaise on all three pieces of cooled toast to add moisture and flavor.
- Add Lettuce and Tomato: On one mayo-coated slice, layer fresh lettuce leaves and tomato slices. Season the tomatoes with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance their flavor.
- Layer Second Bread Slice: Place the second piece of bread on top of the lettuce and tomato, mayo side down. Then spread a little more mayonnaise on the top side of this slice to help the next layer stick.
- Place Meat and Cheese: Add the sliced deli ham, turkey, cooked bacon, and the slice of Colby jack cheese on top of the second bread slice.
- Top with Final Bread Slice: Complete the sandwich by placing the third slice of bread, mayo side down, on top of the meat and cheese layer.
- Cut and Secure: Using a well-sharpened knife, carefully cut the sandwich into triangles. Use toothpicks to hold the layers together and ensure the sandwich maintains its shape.
- Present and Serve: Position the sandwich quarters on their sides to display the colorful, layered cross-section. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh textures and flavors.
Notes
- To prevent sogginess, ensure the bread is fully cooled before assembly.
- You can substitute Colby jack cheese with cheddar or Swiss cheese according to preference.
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free bread.
- Adjust the amount of mayonnaise to your taste to keep the sandwich moist but not soggy.
- Feel free to add or substitute meats such as roast beef or chicken if desired.
