Key Sandwich Ingredients- 6 slices of Bread (Toast bread or regular sliced bread)
- 200g Lettuce (For a fresh and crisp texture)
- 6 leaves of Romaine Lettuce (Adds a pleasant freshness)
- 2 ripe Tomatoes (Choose firm, flavorful ones)
- 1/2 Onion (Red or yellow, for a delightful bite)

- 6 slices of Ham (Mild-flavored ham)
Flavor-Enhancing Sauces- Mayonnaise (For a creamy base)
- Pickle Relish Mustard (For a tangy and zesty kick)
- Mayonnaise (For a creamy base)
- Pickle Relish Mustard (For a tangy and zesty kick)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare your fresh sandwich components. Thinly slice the tomatoes and onion. Wash the lettuce thoroughly, pat it dry, and then tear it into bite-sized pieces by hand for the best texture.
Step 2
To mellow the sharpness of the sliced onion, soak it in cold water for about 5 minutes. Drain well. This step preserves the onion’s crispness while making it milder and more pleasant to eat.
Step 3
If you prefer, lightly grill or pan-fry the ham slices. This enhances their savory flavor. Cook them briefly until they just start to turn golden; don’t overcook them. (Optional step)
Step 4
Now, let’s prepare the bread. Lightly toast all 6 slices of bread in a toaster or on a dry skillet until golden brown. Spread a generous layer of mayonnaise on one side of three slices (these will be the bottom pieces) and on one side of the other three slices (these will be the top pieces).
Step 5
Begin layering your sandwich! On the mayonnaise-spread bottom slices, place a layer of crisp Romaine lettuce, followed by the torn regular lettuce. Then, arrange 2 slices of the prepared onion on top.
Step 6
Time to add more delicious layers. Drizzle the pickle relish mustard sauce evenly over the vegetables. Next, add 3 slices of cheese, followed by 2 slices of the lightly cooked ham. Top this with the remaining 3 slices of cheese.
Step 7
Now for the fresh elements. Arrange the 2 slices of thinly sliced tomato evenly over the cheese and ham. Place another layer of Romaine lettuce leaves on top to help hold everything together.
Step 8
Finally, place the remaining mayonnaise-spread bread slices on top to cap off your magnificent Club Sandwich! For a beautiful presentation, slice the sandwich in half diagonally so the layers are visible.
