Make Ahead and Storage:

Can I make a Club Sandwich Ahead of Time?

In order to keep this sandwich as fresh as possible, you should really make it the day of your party. If you can, make it within a couple of hours before your guests arrive.
Storage: Store sandwiches covered and in the refrigerator for up to 2 days
What is a Triple Decker Sandwich?
A triple-decker sandwich is a sandwich with 3 pieces of bread that typically has layers of meats, cheeses, vegetables, and spread

Why is it Called a Club Sandwich?

I've heard of a couple of different apparent origins of the club sandwich. One is that it was served in clubs or a clubhouse like a country club. The other origin is that CLUB is an acronym that stands for chicken and lettuce under bacon.

Is the Club Sandwich the Same as a BLT?

They are very similar sandwiches. Both are served on toasted bread. The BLT however, only has bacon, lettuce, and tomato with a mayonnaise spread. The Club sandwich also has cheese, and typically turkey is thrown into the mix as well as another layer of bread.

What Should I Serve with a Club Sandwich?

Tips and Tricks:

  • I like to use precooked bacon and just warm it up in the skillet. This really cuts down on the time it takes to prepare this sandwich
  • Use toothpicks to hold down the 4 corners of your sandwich for cutting
