Ingredients
- Smoked Beef Ham
- Swiss Cheese
- Bread (thick slices of sourdough or ciabatta)
- Lettuce (crisp romaine or iceberg)
- Tomato (juicy, ripe tomatoes)
- Condiments (mix of mayonnaise and Dijon mustard)
- Bacon (traditional or turkey bacon or a smoky plant-based alternative)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Start by slicing your smoked beef ham and cheese if they aren’t pre-sliced. Wash and dry your lettuce and slice the tomatoes thinly.
- Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. If you’re using a non-pork alternative, follow the package instructions for cooking. Once done, set it aside on paper towels to drain excess fat.
- Toast the Bread: Lightly toast the slices of bread in the same skillet, allowing them to absorb some of the bacon flavor for a few minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Assemble the Club: Start with a slice of toasted bread. Spread a layer of the mayo-Dijon mixture on top. Add a layer of smoked beef ham followed by Swiss cheese, lettuce, and tomato.
- Add the Second Layer: Place another slice of bread on top. Repeat the process: spread the condiment, layer on more smoked beef ham, cheese, lettuce, and tomato. Don’t forget to add the crispy bacon!
- Top it Off: Finish with a third slice of toast, and press down gently to hold everything together.
- Slice and Serve: Using a sharp knife, cut the sandwich diagonally into quarters. Secure with toothpicks if desired and serve with your favorite chips or a side salad.
