Usually the haunt of hotel lobby restaurants and airport lounges – here’s a reminder to not forget the charm of this classic sandwich. The essentials then, at least for me:
- Three slices, gently toasted white bread, allowed to cool
- Deli turkey
- Good bacon, cooled
- Tomatoes, fresher the better
- Gobs of mayo, I love Duke’s brand the most
- Iceberg lettuce
After that, its layering the items smartly in a triple stacker:
- Bread
- Lettuce
- Turkey
- Bread
- Tomato
- Bacon
- Bread
Gently press together then cut into diagonals before skewering into place with tooth picks for that classic look!
If you’re feeling particularly crazy, avocado works great here, as does a spritz of your favorite hot sauce.
