Ingredients
Scale
Bread and Spread
- 6 slices white bread (or bread of choice, toasted and buttered)
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
Meats and Cheese
- 4 ounces deli sliced turkey
- 4 ounces sliced ham
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
- 4 slices cooked bacon
Produce
- 1 ripe tomato (sliced)
- ½ cup shredded romaine lettuce
Instructions
- Prepare the bread: Toast the slices of bread until golden brown and butter them lightly to add flavor and prevent sogginess. Lay 2 slices on a cutting board.
- Spread mayonnaise: Evenly spread mayonnaise on each of the 2 slices of bread to add moisture and richness.
- Add first layer of fillings: Top the mayonnaise-spread bread with sliced turkey, followed by fresh tomato slices, and then the cheddar cheese slices, creating flavorful layers.
- Layer with more bread and fillings: Spread mayonnaise on 2 more slices of bread and place these slices on top of the cheddar cheese. Then add a layer of ham, cooked bacon slices, and shredded romaine lettuce.
- Top the sandwich: Spread mayonnaise on the remaining 2 slices of bread and place them on top of the lettuce layer, completing the stack.
- Slice and serve: Carefully cut the sandwich into halves or quarters for easier handling. Serve with pickles or your favorite side for a classic presentation.
Notes
- For variety, substitute white bread with whole wheat, multigrain, or sourdough for added flavor and nutrition.
- Use turkey and ham slices fresh from the deli for best taste and texture.
- Ensure bacon is cooked until crispy to add a crunchy texture contrast.
- To prevent soggy bread, toast well and use mayonnaise as a moisture barrier.
- Customize the sandwich by adding avocado slices or swapping cheddar for Swiss cheese.
- Serve immediately after assembling for optimal freshness and texture.
