Recipe: Club Sandwich

Quite a perfect sandwich, particularly made of newly baked bread freshly toasted with ample slices of breast of chicken and thin slices of tomatoes. (The faint of heart can use only two slices of bread---but then it hardly qualifies as a genuine lofty club sandwich.)

Makes 1 sandwich

Butter
2 T mayonnaise
3 slices fresh bread, toasted crisp
4 thin slices cooked chicken breast
Salt
Freshly ground pepper
3 thin slices ripe, firm tomato
3 slices bacon, fried crisp and drained
Green olives
Sweet pickles

Spread butter and mayonnaise on one side of each slice of toast, cover with chicken, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cover with a slice of toast. Place the tomatoes and bacon on it, and season with salt and pepper. Cover with the last slice of toast. Cut in quarters, diagonally, and serve with olives and pickles.
