METHOD · 7 STEPS

fry · ~8 min
Cook the bacon until crisp.
1.Lay 8 slices of bacon in a cold skillet.
2.Heat over medium and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and crisp (6-8 min).
3.Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
TIPStarting with a cold pan helps render the fat slowly for extra-crisp bacon.
grill · ~3 min
Toast all 12 bread slices golden.
1.Lightly toast bread slices in a toaster or under a broiler.
2.Aim for light golden — not dark — so they stay crisp but not too crunchy.
3.Let them cool slightly on a rack so they don't steam.
TIPToasting prevents the bread from getting soggy from the mayo and tomato.
prep · ~2 min
Slice tomatoes and season.
1.Cut 2 large tomatoes into thin (5 mm) rounds.
2.Lay slices on a plate and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
assemble · ~3 min
Build the first tier — turkey and tomato.
1.Spread 1 tsp mayonnaise on one side of one toasted bread slice.
2.Layer with 75 g turkey and 2 seasoned tomato slices.
3.Top with a second toast slice, pressing gently.
4.Spread 1 tsp mayo on this second slice.
TIPPress each layer gently — a compact sandwich holds together better when cut.
assemble · ~2 min
Build the second tier — bacon and lettuce.
1.On the mayo side of the second slice, add 2 crisp lettuce leaves.
2.Top with 2 slices of bacon, broken to fit the bread.
3.Spread 1 tsp mayo on one side of the third toast slice.
4.Close the sandwich, mayo side down.
assemble · ~2 min
Secure and cut the sandwich.
1.Insert 4 toothpicks evenly across the sandwich to hold all layers.
2.Use a sharp serrated knife to cut diagonally from corner to corner.
3.Repeat for all 4 sandwiches.
TIPA gentle sawing motion with a serrated knife keeps the layers from sliding.
serve
Serve immediately with chips or a pickle spear on the side.

PRO TIPS

What to keep in mind.

7 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.

1
For extra-crisp bacon, start in a cold pan and render slowly over medium heat.
2
Season the tomato slices with salt and pepper before layering to draw out flavor.
3
Use full-fat mayonnaise — it spreads smoothly and adds richness without making bread soggy.
4
Press each layer gently during assembly to keep the compact when sliced.
5
Use a serrated knife with a gentle sawing motion to cut through all layers cleanly.
6
Assemble just before serving to keep the toast crisp and the lettuce fresh.
7
If making ahead, store components separately and assemble at the last minute.
