Sandwich Ingredients
- 3 slices of bread
- 4 large lettuce leaves (Romaine)
- 1 tomato (thinly sliced)
- 2 slices of ham
- 1 egg (for frying)
- 2-3 large lettuce leaves (Iceberg or similar)
- 6 slices of dill pickles (sliced)
- 1 slice of cheddar cheese
Special Club Sauce
- 1.5 Tbsp whole grain mustard
- 1 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp ketchup
- 1.5 Tbsp whole grain mustard
- 1 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp ketchup
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by toasting your bread slices. Lightly butter a pan and toast 3 slices of bread until golden brown and slightly crispy. This toasted bread forms the perfect foundation for your sandwich. You can adjust the number of bread slices to two or three, depending on your preference.
Step 2
Once toasted, stand the bread slices upright to cool slightly. This helps prevent them from becoming soggy and maintains their delightful crispness.
Step 3
Gently cook the ham slices in a pan. If they puff up in the center, flip them over. To prevent burning, cook over medium-low heat until lightly golden and slightly crisped.
Step 4
Now, let’s prepare the signature Club Sauce! In a small bowl, combine 1.5 tablespoons of whole grain mustard, 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise, and 1 tablespoon of ketchup. Mix well until smooth. Generously spread this delicious sauce evenly over all sides of the toasted bread slices.
Step 5
On one slice of the sauced bread, begin layering your fresh ingredients. Start with the thinly sliced tomatoes, followed by crisp iceberg lettuce and the vibrant Romaine lettuce leaves. Stack them neatly.
Step 6
Place another slice of bread on top of the layered vegetables. Then, add your perfectly fried egg and the cooked ham slices.
Step 7
Continue building your sandwich by adding more fresh vegetables and a slice of cheddar cheese on top of the ham and egg. Don’t forget to add the sliced pickles for a tangy contrast!
Step 8
Finally, spread a good amount of the Club Sauce on the inside of the top bread slice, and carefully place it on top of all the assembled ingredients to complete your magnificent Club Sandwich.
Step 9
Voila! Slice your masterpiece in half to reveal its beautiful layers. You’ve just created a nutritious and satisfying Club Sandwich. Enjoy this delightful meal for brunch or any time you crave something hearty and delicious!
