Ingredients
  

3 slices of white or whole grain bread

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

4 slices of cooked bacon

4 slices of turkey breast or chicken

2 slices of Swiss or cheddar cheese

2 slices of ripe tomato

1 cup of crisp lettuce (romaine or iceberg)

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: Pickles for garnish

Toothpicks for assembly

Instructions
 

Toast the Bread: Begin by toasting three slices of bread until golden brown and crispy. This will provide a sturdy base for your sandwich.

    Prepare the Spread: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until well combined. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

      Layering the Sandwich:

        - First Layer: Spread a generous amount of the mayo-mustard mixture on one side of the first slice of toasted bread. Add two slices of turkey or chicken followed by two slices of bacon. Top with a slice of cheese and a few pieces of lettuce, ensuring they stick well.

          - Second Layer: Place the second slice of toasted bread on top of the first layer. Spread the mayo-mustard mixture on top of this bread as well. Add the slices of tomato, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and place another slice of bacon.

            - Third Layer: Top with the final slice of toasted bread, mayo-mustard side down.

              Secure the Sandwich: Using toothpicks, carefully secure the sandwich at the corners and through the center to hold the layers together.

                Slice and Serve: Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the sandwich diagonally into quarters (or halves, depending on preference). Arrange on a plate and garnish with pickles if desired.

                  Enjoy Your Creation: Serve immediately with a side of chips or a fresh salad. Enjoy the classic flavors and the satisfying crunch!
