Bloody Mary Club Sandwich

In Homepage - Soups & Sandwiches by Frances Largeman-Roth

If you’re hosting game night, there better be snacks! I love a Club sandwich and I also love the spicy notes of a Bloody Mary, so I decided to combine them in a sandwich that packs in lots of flavor and goes well with other munchies.

MAKES: 4 quarters

INGREDIENTS

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1/2 teaspoon of hot sauce, or more if you like it spicy

3 slices bread, toasted

4 slices smoked turkey breast

4 slices provolone cheese

2 slices turkey bacon, cooked

1 large iceberg lettuce leaf

2 large slices tomato

Frilled toothpicks

FOR TOPPING

1/2 cup cocktail onions

1/2 cup pimento-stuffed olives

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes

1/2 cup pepperoncini peppers

1/2 cup dill pickle slices

  1. In a small bowl, combine the mayo and hot sauce until blended; set aside.
  2. Spread the spicy mayo on one side of two of the toasted bread slices. Spread it over both sides of the third slice.
  3. Take a bread slice with spicy mayo on one side and place it on a cutting board, mayo side up. Fold 2 slices of turkey in half and place on one half of the bread. Add another 2 folded slices next to the first 2.
  4. Fold 2 slices of cheese and place on top of the turkey. Do the same for the remaining 2 slices. Add the bacon.
  5. Place the bread slice with mayo on both sides on top of the bacon. Add the lettuce and tomaoto and top with the remaining bread slice, mayo side down.
  6. Place a toothpick at the top and bottom and left and right sides of the sandwich. Using a sharp knife, cut the sandwich in half on the diagonal. Then cut in half on the other diagonal so that you have 4 sandwich quarters.
  7. Use an additional toothpick to top each quarter with an assortment of cocktail onions, olives, cherry tomatoes and a pepperoncini or pickle slice.
  8. Place the sandwiches on a tray and enjoy game night!
