Where did club sandwich get its name?
In the late 19th century in the United States, club sandwiches became popular at resorts and country clubs. That's why this sandwich is called "Club Sandwich".
What is special about the club sandwich?
It is one of the most popular and delicious sandwiches in the world. Club sandwich consists of three layers, each of which has a special taste, which is what makes this sandwich so attractive and irreplaceable in many eateries and restaurants.
How to make a perfect tasting club sandwich at home?
Take a pan and place it on a medium-hot stovetop. Add three thin slices of bacon to the hot pan. Lightly fry the bacon slices on both sides. Fry each side of the bacon slice for about 2 minutes (we cook for 4 minutes in total).
When the bacon slices are cooked, place them on a plate and set aside. We will use the bacon later when making a club sandwich.
Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a frying pan over medium heat. Spread the oil evenly over the pan. Place 2 slices of sandwich bread on the hot oil in the pan. White sandwich bread works best for the Club Sandwich, but if you want a healthier sandwich, you can use whole grain dark sandwich bread.
Bake the bread for about 6 minutes (3 minutes on each side of the slice). When the bread is slightly toasted on both sides, remove from the pan and place on a cutting board.
Cut both slices of bread in half, into four equal parts. We will need 3 slices of bread for the club sandwich.
Spread mayonnaise on one quarter of the bread.
Take 3 thin slices of ham and cut them in half. You will have a total of 6 slices of ham. Place the ham slices on a quarter of the bread with mayonnaise.
Take one slice of cheddar cheese and cut it in half. Place both parts of the cheese slice on the ham.
Take the second piece of bread and spread mayonnaise on it.
Place the second slice of bread on top of the first slice of bread so that the mayonnaise touches the cheese.
Spread another layer of mayonnaise on top of the second slice of bread.
Take the previously cooked bacon and cut it into small pieces. Place the bacon pieces on top of the second slice of bread.
Take a small lettuce leaf and cut it in half. Place half of the lettuce leaf on top of the bacon.
Take a few thin slices of tomato and place them on the lettuce leaf.
Take the third slice of bread, smear it with mayonnaise and place it on the sandwich so that the mayonnaise touches the tomato.
That's it, we made a great and very tasty club sandwich. Everyone will like it!
To make the sandwich more stable, pierce the sandwich with two thin wooden sticks.

Can you put egg in a club sandwich?
If you want to make an even richer and tastier club sandwich, you can add an egg to it. The egg can be either boiled or fried, but we think that a hard-boiled egg is best for this sandwich.
Boil the egg for the club sandwich on medium heat for about 10-12 minutes until it becomes hard. Peel the boiled egg and cut it into thin slices. Place the egg slices on the bottom layer of the club sandwich. Follow all other steps according to our recipe.
What are the benefits that a club sandwich can give?
Club sandwich is not only very tasty, but also contains trace elements necessary for our body. A club sandwich contains carbohydrates, and vegetables contain fiber and vitamins. So, we can say that this sandwich is useful for our body.
How to make a healthy club sandwich?
If you want to make the healthiest version of a club sandwich, choose wholegrain bread and chicken breast or turkey breast. Roast chicken or turkey without using oil or other fats. A grill or oven is best for this. Do everything else according to the instructions in our recipe.
How do you know when a club sandwich is out of date? How long is a club sandwich valid for?
A club sandwich stored at cambric temperature should be eaten the same day you make it. However, if you do store the sandwich outside of the refrigerator, remember to put it in foil or a special container or bag to prevent air from entering.
If you store the club sandwich in the refrigerator, then the sandwich will last longer and can be eaten 2-3 days after making it. Also wrap the sandwich in foil or put it in an airtight container/bag before putting it in the fridge.
