This might be a bizarre assertion, but as of late, I’ve really been enjoying sandwiches. That is not to say I didn’t like sandwiches before recently; I’ve always enjoyed them, but I think for a while I was entirely unaware of how fucking great sandwiches can be in terms of their versatility.
I was also in the somewhat stupid mindset that sandwiches are intended for lunchtime as opposed to dinner, but that observation is ludicrous, and I’m happy to report I’ve come to my senses and now acknowledge sandwiches can absolutely be consumed for dinner.
Since I’ve been enjoying sandwiches so much lately, I wanted to share a recipe for one, and why not begin our sandwich saga by sharing a recipe for a club, one of the classics of the sandwich variety. This recipe comes from delish.com.
“Ingredients
- 3 pieces sliced bread
- Butter, softened
- 3 Tbsp. mayonnaise
- Romaine
- 2 tomato slices
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 pieces bacon, cooked
- 1 thick slice cheddar
- 2 slices turkey
- 2 slices ham
“Directions
- Toast bread until golden, then spread a thin layer of butter on both sides of every slice.
- Spread mayonnaise on one side of one slice of bread. Top with lettuce and tomato slices, then season lightly with salt and pepper. Place bacon slices on top.
- Spread mayonnaise on both sides of a second piece of bread and place on top of bacon. Top with cheddar, turkey, and ham. Spread mayonnaise on one side of the last piece of bread and place on top of sandwich, mayo side down.
- Secure with toothpicks and cut into 4 triangles,” the recipe states.
I also happen to enjoy eating chips alongside a sandwich, and I think chips pair perfectly with a club sandwich. If you’ve never tried putting chips on your actual sandwich before, I also recommend giving that a try.
