Blt Club Sandwich Recipes

Steps:

• Toast the bread in a toaster, or under a broiler on both sides. Cut the lettuce leaves in half crosswise and form into 8 neat stacks.
• To make a double-decker club: On a clean work surface, arrange 3 bread slices in a row. Spread 1 tablespoon mayonnaise over 1 side of each bread slice. Place a lettuce stack on top of the first bread slice, top with 2 tomato slices, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Place 2 slices bacon over the tomatoes (broken to fit neatly if necessary) and top with 1/8 of the turkey (without letting any hang over the sides). Season the turkey with salt and pepper, to taste. Repeat with the second bread slice. Carefully place the second layered bread slice on top of the first layered bread, turkey side-up. Cover with the third bread slice, mayonnaise side-down.
• Pin the sandwich's layers together by piercing them with 4 frill picks or cocktail swords through the top bread slice, in 4 places in a diamond-like pattern, all the way to the bottom bread slice. Repeat entire process with the remaining ingredients to form 3 more sandwiches.
• Using a serrated knife cut each sandwich, diagonally, into 4 triangular pieces (each piece should be secured in the center with a pick or sword). Serve with potato chips and pickles.

Steps:

• Combine the mayonnaise, garlic, the zest and juice of 1 lime, the dill and parsley in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate.
• Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. Break the slices in half.
• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium high. Slice the salmon on the diagonal into 8 thin pieces. Season the salmon and red onion slices with salt and pepper and rub with the olive oil. Sprinkle with the zest and juice of the remaining lime. Grill the red onion slices, turning occasionally, until tender and charred, about 5 minutes. Grill the salmon until marked and just cooked through, turning once, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Lay out 4 slices of toasted bread; top with some of the herbed mayonnaise, a lettuce leaf, a piece of salmon, some tomato and avocado slices and 2 bacon halves. Top each with a piece of toast, then repeat the layering (mayonnaise, lettuce, salmon, tomato, avocado and bacon). Spread the remaining 4 bread slices with herbed mayonnaise and place on top of the sandwiches. Secure each sandwich with 4 toothpicks and cut into quarters.

Steps:

• Place bacon in a heavy skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain on paper towels.
• Spread each slice of bread with mayonnaise. On one slice of toast, place the turkey and lettuce. Cover with a slice of toast, then the bacon and tomato. Top with last slice of toast.

Steps:

• Cook bacon until crispy, then drain on paper towels.
• Toast the 8 slices of bread.
• Spread 1 tablespoon mayo on each slice of toasted bread. (More or less, to taste).
• Add 1 slice of lettuce to 4 pieces of mayo-spreaded toast.
• Add 2 slices of tomato on top of lettuce.
• Arrange 3 slices of bacon evenly on top of tomato. (Break bacon slices in half to fit, if needed.).
• Add 1 slice of lettuce on top of bacon.
• Put the remaining 4 pieces of mayo-spreaded toast on top to finish the sandwiches.
• Enjoy!
• NOTE: I also like to butter the toast slices before adding the mayo -- higher in fat, but tastier, in my opinion!
