Club Sandwich my way

⏱ 10 min🍳 10 min👤 1 pp★★★☆☆

The club sandwich is traditionally of American origin but is different from other types because it is not composed of two slices of bread but three. The original recipe calls for the three layers to be toasted and filled with turkey, bacon, tomato and mayonnaise. As for the sauces, as just mentioned, the original recipe calls for the use of mayonnaise. That said, it is good to know that around the world there are many different versions of the club sandwich. In the first place, not everyone toasts the bread. But very often you'll find a club sandwich more or less in a version like the one we suggest today. And yet, even with regard to fillings you often find variants: you might get ham, grilled vegetables, salmon, chicken or many other ingredients. So this recipe is a basis for a really tasty club sandwich, to which you can apply your imagination and use as many ingredients as you please.

Preparation

Cut the white sandwich bread so that you have 4 slices although you will use only three. Spread them with mustard mayonnaise. Place a layer of bacon, salmon, provolone cheese and raw courgette. Salt lightly, place the second slice of bread on the first, then add some raspberries between the second and the third slice, finish with the third slice and put the club in the oven. Make a raspberry sauce to accompany it by blending raspberries with mayonnaise, mustard and a little oil.

Tips
If you want to turn your club sandwich into a meal, you can serve it with some American-style coleslaw or potato salad, or even with French fries.
Trivia
The club sandwich is rather like its cousin the BTL (bacon - tomato - lettuce) and our national Italian sandwich. Its origins seem to be reasonably historic: it appears that it was invented in a gambling club in New York at the end of the 19th century. At the time it was called a ‘clubhouse sandwich’ and is now called simply a "club sandwich’.

My Way Club Sandwich with Zucchini and Raspberries

For a delicious variation of the My Way Club Sandwich, try adding zucchini and raspberries. This combination not only enriches the dish but also offers an interesting contrast of flavors. The fresh and crunchy zucchini pairs perfectly with the creaminess of the mustard mayonnaise, while the raspberries add a sweet and fruity note. You can also grill the zucchini for a more intense flavor. Generously spread the mayonnaise between the various layers of bread and alternate the slices of zucchini with bacon and salmon. This recipe is ideal for a summer lunch or a brunch with friends, bringing a touch of freshness and originality to your Club Sandwich.

My Way Club Sandwich in the Marchigiana Style

For a regional touch, try the My Way Club Sandwich in the Marchigiana style. This version uses typical ingredients from the Marche region, such as Carpegna ham instead of bacon and local cheeses like pecorino. The preparation remains similar, but the flavor changes significantly with the introduction of these ingredients. You can also add slices of sun-dried tomatoes for further enrichment. This variant is perfect for those who want to savor the authentic tastes of the Marche while maintaining the practicality of the classic Club Sandwich, ideal for a picnic or a quick lunch.

My Way Club Sandwich Light without Mayonnaise

If you're looking for a lighter version of the My Way Club Sandwich, try making it without mayonnaise. You can replace the mustard mayonnaise with Greek yogurt flavored with fresh herbs, such as parsley and basil. This modification not only reduces calories but also adds freshness to the dish. In this light version, keep the layers of bacon, salmon, and zucchini, but reduce the amount of bacon to make the dish healthier. Additionally, you can opt for whole grain bread, which offers a higher fiber content. This preparation is ideal for those who want to eat healthier without sacrificing flavor.

My Way Club Sandwich: Benefits of Zucchini and Calories

Zucchini, the main ingredient of the My Way Club Sandwich, is a vegetable rich in beneficial properties. They contain very few calories, about 17 calories per 100 grams, and are a good source of vitamins A and C, as well as minerals like potassium. Thanks to their high water content, zucchini help maintain hydration and promote digestion. Furthermore, they are low in carbohydrates and high in fiber, making them an excellent choice for those looking to maintain a balanced diet. Incorporating zucchini into the Club Sandwich not only enriches the dish with nutrients but also makes it lighter and healthier.

Can the My Way Club Sandwich be frozen?

A common question regarding the My Way Club Sandwich is whether it can be frozen. The answer is yes, but with some precautions. It is advisable to assemble the sandwich and then freeze it before baking it in the oven. This way, fresh ingredients like zucchini and raspberries will maintain their texture and flavor. When you decide to consume it, let it thaw in the refrigerator for a few hours and then bake it in the oven until golden brown. Avoid freezing the already cooked sandwich, as the mayonnaise and other ingredients may alter their texture and flavor. By following these simple steps, you can enjoy your Club Sandwich even after a few days.
