👨🍳 Instructions
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until crisp. Drain on paper towels.
In the same pan, fry the eggs sunny-side up or over medium until the whites are set, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Toast the three bread slices until golden.
Spread half the mayonnaise on one slice, the rest on the middle slice.
Build the club: on the first slice, layer the turkey, tomato, lettuce and half the avocado. Top with the second slice, then add the bacon, fried eggs and the rest of the avocado.
Cap with the third slice, press gently, secure with toothpicks and slice into triangles.
⚠️ Common Mistakes
- ✕
Using untoasted bread, which turns the club soggy within minutes.
- ✕
Stacking too many wet ingredients in one spot, which makes the sandwich collapse.
- ✕
Overcooking the eggs, losing the runny yolk that acts as the sandwich sauce.
🔄 Variations
Swap turkey for roast chicken or deli ham.
Use a bagel or brioche instead of sourdough for a different texture.
Add a slice of cheddar or Swiss cheese for extra protein and creaminess.
🧊 Storage
- 📦
Best eaten immediately while the toast is crisp and the yolk is runny.
- 📦
Wrap tightly in foil if transporting, and add the avocado fresh to avoid browning.
💡 Chef Tips
Tip 1: Toast the bread well so it stays crunchy against the juicy fillings.
Tip 2: Blot the fried eggs on paper towel so excess oil does not soak the bread.
Tip 3: Secure the club with toothpicks before slicing for clean, even triangles.
Tip 4: Warm the turkey slices briefly in the bacon pan for a richer flavor.
