How to make it

7 steps. Take it one step at a time.

  1. Lightly butter one side of each bread slice

    Lightly butter one side of each bread slice and toast in a pan or toaster until golden brown.

  2. Lay the first slice of toast

    Lay the first slice of toast on a flat surface and spread a layer of mayonnaise on the top side.

  3. Layer the sliced turkey and ham

    Layer the sliced turkey and ham over the mayonnaise, then top with a leaf of lettuce and a slice of tomato.

  4. Spread mayonnaise on both sides of the second slice of bread

    Spread mayonnaise on both sides of the second slice of bread and place it on top of the first layer.

  5. Layer the crisp bacon, the remaining lettuce leaf, and the second tomato slice

    Layer the crisp bacon, the remaining lettuce leaf, and the second tomato slice onto the middle piece of toast.

  6. Spread mayonnaise on the bottom side of the third slice of toast

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom side of the third slice of toast and place it on top to close the sandwich.

  7. Secure the sandwich

    Secure the sandwich with four toothpicks (one in the center of each quadrant) and cut diagonally into four triangles.

A little kitchen wisdom

To achieve the iconic look, use frilled toothpicks to secure the sandwich before cutting it into four small triangles. Use a serrated knife for the cleanest cuts.
