Club Sandwich with Fresh Vegetables

Ingredients

• 6 slices Bread slices (soft sandwich bread, preferably white or whole grain)
• 2 tablespoons Butter (softened, for spreading and cooking)
• 1.5 tablespoons Whole grain mustard (or honey mustard if preferred)
• 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise (regular or light)
• 0.5 tablespoon Ketchup (regular)
• 2 pieces Eggs (large, room temperature)
• 1 teaspoon Cooking oil (vegetable or canola oil for frying)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt (pinch, to taste)
• 4 slices Deli ham (thick cut)
• 4 slices Cheddar cheese (mild or sharp)
• 2 pieces Tomato (medium, sliced 0.7 cm thick)
• 8 slices Cucumber pickle (thinly sliced)
• 12 leaves Romaine lettuce leaves (washed, trimmed to bread size)

Instructions

1. Prepare vegetables

   Wash all vegetables. Slice the tomato into 0.7 cm thick rounds, slice the cucumber pickle thinly, and separate the romaine lettuce leaves, trimming them to the size of the bread slices.

   Time: PT5M

2. Make the sauce

   In a small mixing bowl combine 1.5 Tbsp whole grain mustard, 1 Tbsp mayonnaise, and 0.5 Tbsp ketchup. Stir until smooth.

   Time: PT2M

3. Cook the egg

   Heat the skillet over medium heat (≈350°F). Add 1 tsp cooking oil and ½ Tbsp butter. Crack an egg into the pan, sprinkle a pinch of salt, and cook until the whites are set but the yolk is still soft (≈2 min). Gently flip and cook another 30 seconds. Remove and set aside.

   Time: PT4M

   Temperature: ≈350°F

4. Toast the bread

   Spread a thin layer of butter on both sides of each bread slice. In the same skillet (or a separate toaster), toast the slices until golden brown and crispy, about 1 minute per side.

   Time: PT3M

   Temperature: medium heat

5. Assemble the sandwich

   Lay the bottom toasted slice on a plate, sauce‑side up. Add lettuce, tomato, cucumber pickle, a slice of ham, a slice of cheddar, and the soft‑cooked egg. Spread a thin layer of sauce on the next slice, place it sauce‑side down on top, then repeat the layers for the middle slice. Top with the final slice, sauce‑side down. Press lightly to compact.

   Time: PT5M

6. Wrap and cut

   Wrap the assembled sandwich tightly in parchment paper (or plastic wrap) and press lightly. Cut the sandwich diagonally into halves or quarters for easier handling.

   Time: PT2M
