COLOSSAL CLUB SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Toast the bread in the toaster until light golden brown. Set aside.
• Fry the bacon until just barely crisp, and then drain on a paper towel. Set aside.
• Mix together 2 tablespoons of the mayonnaise with the basil pesto. In a separate bowl, mix an additional 2 tablespoons mayonnaise with the sun-dried tomato pesto.
• To make one sandwich: Spread 2 pieces of toast with basil pesto mayo. On one piece of bread, lay some roast beef on top of the pesto mayo, then top with a slice of cheese and some lettuce. On the other piece of bread, lay the slices of tomato on top of the pesto mayo. Top with some avocado and bacon. Lift the second slice of bread and place it, ingredient-side down, on top of the first piece of bread.
• For the second layer: On the top of the top piece of bread, spread the sun-dried tomato mayo. Spread one side of the third piece of bread with sun-dried tomato mayo. Place ham, cheese, red onion and lettuce on top. Top with bacon slices.
• Place this piece of bread, ingredient-side down, on top of the first piece of bread. Use a sharp knife to cut the sandwich in half (on the diagonal) then again in fourths. (Use large toothpicks to secure if needed.)
• Serve with chips!

CLASSIC CLUB SANDWICH

Steps:

• Toast the bread in a toaster, or under a broiler on both sides. Cut the lettuce leaves in half crosswise and form into 8 neat stacks.
• To make a double-decker club: On a clean work surface, arrange 3 bread slices in a row. Spread 1 tablespoon mayonnaise over 1 side of each bread slice. Place a lettuce stack on top of the first bread slice, top with 2 tomato slices, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Place 2 slices bacon over the tomatoes (broken to fit neatly if necessary) and top with 1/8 of the turkey (without letting any hang over the sides). Season the turkey with salt and pepper, to taste. Repeat with the second bread slice. Carefully place the second layered bread slice on top of the first layered bread, turkey side-up. Cover with the third bread slice, mayonnaise side-down.
• Pin the sandwich's layers together by piercing them with 4 frill picks or cocktail swords through the top bread slice, in 4 places in a diamond-like pattern, all the way to the bottom bread slice. Repeat entire process with the remaining ingredients to form 3 more sandwiches.
• Using a serrated knife cut each sandwich, diagonally, into 4 triangular pieces (each piece should be secured in the center with a pick or sword). Serve with potato chips and pickles.

CLUB SANDWICHES-AUSSIE STYLE

Steps:

• If you have your bread sliced at the thickness for sandwiches, you should have 8 long slices.
• Soften the cream cheese in the microwave if necessary so you don't tear the bread.
• Lay your bread slices out, and spread with the cream cheese-just as you would with butter for a normal sandwich.
• On the first slice, top with the ham, then a bread slice, top with tomato, and a bread slice, top with the mashed egg, then a final bread slice.
• Season each layer with salt and pepper to taste.
• Repeat with the remaining 4 slices of bread and filling.
• I like to place 12 cocktail sticks in the sandwich stacks so I can see where I will be cutting, then I take my electric knife, remove the crusts, and finally cut each stack into 12.
• *Theseare only suggested filling that are popular and cut easily.
