The renowned club sandwich is a classic American diner favorite and might well be considered the food mascot for room service. There are not two, but three slices of mayo-slathered, buttery toasted bread holding together the stack of marvel that is a turkey and ham-meets-BLT sandwich. The triple-decker sandwich is often served with fries or chips, a pickle (a must), and is cut into adorable little triangles. It's probably not as tasty as it could be if the first bite is simple to get your mouth around. Despite the thinness of the individual constituent layers, when combined, they literally build up. It's the exact sandwich that comes to mind and makes you hungry when you hear the word "sandwich." Bring your appetite and some napkins, and now let's start.
Why Is It Known as a Club Sandwich?
Despite the myth that "club" stands for "chicken and lettuce under bacon," the first club sandwich lacked bacon. According to The Saratoga Club House in Saratoga Springs, New York, who claim to have invented the sandwich in 1894, the club sandwich dates to the 18th or 19th century. However, the Union Club in New York City claims to have introduced a "clubhouse sandwich" a few years earlier. Although some claim roast chicken was the primary protein in the first club, it was probably ham rather than bacon. Two slices of graham bread (wheat bread) were used in Union Club's preparation, along with ham, chicken, or turkey. As the sandwich developed through time, it became infamous in the 1970s.
What ingredients in a Club Sandwich?
Crafting a delicious club sandwich doesn't demand an extensive list of components. Instead, opt for premium choices: your preferred mayonnaise, high-quality bacon, and the freshest, ripest tomato you can lay your hands on.
Trust me, white sandwich bread is ideal for this sandwich.
Butter mayonnaise
preferably applewood-smoked bacon
Tomato (the best, ripest slicing tomato you can find; extra good if it's picked right out of the garden)
Crisp lettuce
A smoked deli turkey
Ham deli
The Best Way to Make a Club Sandwich
Don't be intimidated by the size of this sandwich since it's quite easy to cook. Buttering your bread liberally, like you would with grilled cheese, is one essential step. Butter and mayo, two fats, contribute to the sandwich's added toastiness.
You could make a lot of different variations of this sandwich. Here are a few examples:
Change up your mayo by adding fresh herbs like basil or tarragon, or by making an aioli or chipotle mayo.
Add mustard if mayo isn't your cup of tea.
If you'd like, top with cheese (we recommend mild yellow cheddar, Havarti, Jarlsberg, or Swiss).
substitute grilled chicken breast for one of the deli meats.
Insert avocado
Change up your bread by attempting multigrain or pumpernickel.

Ingredients
3 slices of sandwich bread, preferably traditional white.
butter
mayonnaise
3 bacon strips, ideally applewood
Sliced iceberg lettuce, 1 juicy, ripe tomato
1.5 ounces or 3 slices the smoked deli turkey
1.5 ounces or 3 slices ham deli
Instructions
Heat the bacon in a cast iron or heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Cook for 4-5 minutes, depending on desired crispness, and then drain on a platter lined with paper towels.
Toast the bread slices before brushing butter lightly on both sides. All three slices of bread were mayo-spread on one side.
The bacon, tomato, and lettuce should be placed on one slice of bread. Place a slice of the remaining bread on top, mayo side down. The turkey and ham should be placed on top of the mayonnaise-topped slice of bread. Add the remaining slice of bread, mayo side up, on top. Cut the sandwich into four triangles after securing the layers with toothpicks in each of the sandwich's four corners. Enjoy the dish with some potato chips.

In less than 45 minutes, you can prepare this easy dish with just 10 ingredients! Except for BBQ sauce and buns (unless you're like me and keep them in your cupboard), you probably already have everything you need on hand.
I used smoked paprika, coconut sugar, garlic powder, and sea salt to flavor the lentils and shredded carrots, which give the dish its incredible, stringy texture. The traditional smoky BBQ flavor was achieved with the help of a little BBQ sauce.

TIME TOTAL: 42 minutes
Servings 4 sandwiches
Friendly to Freezer 1 month (kept separately)
Does it keep? 3 Days (separate storing)
Ingredients
LENTILS
2-cups of water
1 cup of well-rinsed green lentils
SEASONINGS
2 tablespoons grape seed, avocado, or olive oil
1/2 medium white or yellow onion, plus more for serving, should be minced.
1 1/2 cups of packed, finely chopped or shredded carrots
2 tablespoons of organic brown sugar or coconut sugar (plus more to taste)
Ground paprika, 1 1/2 teaspoons (we prefer smoked)
Garlic powder, 1 teaspoon
Black pepper and sea salt, in a good pinch each (plus more to taste),
3/4 cup gluten-free vegan BBQ sauce (plus extra for serving; I used Annie's original BBQ sauce)
2 tablespoons water
Serving
4 medium hamburger buns, either whole-wheat or gluten-free, finely chopped green onion, purple cabbage, and carrot.
Instructions
Heat water and lentils that have been washed in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook uncovered for 18 minutes or until tender after bringing to a low boil and lowering the heat to a simmer. Water should always simmer, not boil. Drain any extra liquid, then set aside.
Put a big skillet to medium heat and place it there when the lentils are almost done cooking. When the oil is hot, add the onion and season with a touch of salt and pepper. Combine well and cook, stirring often for 4-5 minutes, or until the onions are soft and just beginning to brown.
After that, add the following ingredients in the order listed in the original recipe: cooked lentils, carrots, coconut sugar, paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, BBQ sauce (see photo), and 2 Tbsp water. Blend by stirring.
Cook the mixture for a further 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, over medium-low heat, until thoroughly heated through and thick.
When necessary, taste and modify the flavor by adding extra paprika for smokiness, salt for saltiness, coconut sugar for sweetness, or BBQ sauce for depth of flavor.
Optional: Use a food processor with a "s" shaped blade to mash some of the lentils and carrots together after scooping out half of the mixture. This results in a texture that is more coherent, which I like.
Serve the mixture with your preferred toppings on toasted buns. I chose carrots, cut green onions, and red cabbage that had been shredded. Add more BBQ sauce to the dish for flavor.
Although the lentil combination can be stored in the fridge for up to three days, it is best when fresh. Add water if the mixture has dried out and reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop until well reheated.
Notes
The most of burger buns are naturally vegan. Just ensure that there are no animal products on the box. Happy Camper is the only manufacturer of vegan/gluten-free buns that I have enjoyed. Although they do contain eggs, I also enjoy Udi's.Nutritional data is an approximation generated using whole wheat hamburger buns.
