Classic Club Sandwich

Ingredients

• 6 slices white Pullman loaf
• 6 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon mustard, optional
• 4 large leaves greenleaf lettuce
• 3 ounces thickly sliced deli turkey
• 6 strips thick-cut bacon, cooked until crisp
• 1 large beefsteak tomatoes, sliced
• Salt and pepper

Directions

1. Coat both faces of every bread slice with 4 tablespoons mayonnaise. Working in 2 batches, toast the bread over medium heat for about 5 minutes, flipping once at the midpoint. Move the toasted slices to a cooling rack.
2. Spread the remaining mayonnaise and the mustard over 4 slices of bread. For each sandwich, place 1 lettuce leaf on 1 piece of toast spread with the mayo and mustard. Add the turkey, another slice of toast, then the lettuce, bacon, and tomatoes.
3. Sprinkle the tomatoes with salt and pepper. Finish with the last bread slices, then anchor each sandwich with 4 toothpicks. Slice each sandwich into quarters. Serve.
