Easy Club Sandwich

The Club Sandwich, also known as the Clubhouse Sandwich, is a timeless classic that originated in the United States in the late 19th century. It’s a hearty, layered sandwich typically made with toasted bread, sliced meats, crispy bacon, cheese, and fresh vegetables. Traditionally cut into quarters and held together with toothpicks, this sandwich is perfect for brunch, lunch, or even a light dinner.

What makes this version special is its simple yet satisfying combination of flavors and textures: the crispiness of toasted bread, the juiciness of tomato, the saltiness of bacon and ham, and the creamy richness of mayonnaise all come together beautifully. Whether you’re serving it as a meal for yourself or hosting guests, this easy club sandwich delivers on flavor, presentation, and nostalgia.
