For the sandwich

3 slices slices of sturdy bread, lightly toasted Sturdy white or wheat sandwich bread or sourdough work well
2-3 slices slices of roasted turkey or chicken You can also use ham
2-3 slices slices of cooked bacon, still warm Cook until crisp
2 slices slices of ripe tomato, patted dry Season lightly with salt and pepper
1-2 tablespoons mayonnaise Mayo acts as a moisture barrier
to taste salt and pepper For seasoning
as desired optional extras like sliced avocado or cheese Add for variation

Preparation

Cook the bacon on medium heat until crisp. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.
Toast three slices of bread to a light golden color and let them cool for a minute.
Pat the tomato slices dry and season with salt and pepper.
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of toast.

Building the Sandwich

Start with the first slice of bread, mayo side up. Add lettuce, tomato, and turkey or chicken, pressing lightly.
Top with the middle slice of toast, mayo side up. This adds stability.
Add bacon, more lettuce, and any extras like avocado or cheese.
Finish with the final slice of bread, mayo side down. Press gently and insert toothpicks.
Slice into quarters and serve immediately.

For extra crunch, use fresh lettuce, and serve right away to prevent sogginess. Pair with kettle chips or a green salad.
