In recent years, panini-type grilled sandwiches have taken center stage, but there is nothing like a freshly made club sandwich. The triple-decker here amplifies the classic flavors of a BLT with sliced hard-boiled eggs, chive mayo, and a jumble of herbs. View more of our favorite recipes from this issue.
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped chives
  • 12 slices sandwich bread, toasted
  • 4 hard-boiled eggs, thinly sliced and seasoned with salt
  • 3 to 4 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 lb sliced bacon, halved and cooked until crisp
  • 2 cups loosely packed mixed herb leaves such as flat-leaf parsley, cilantro, and basil
  • Stir together mayonnaise, chives, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Spread 4 slices of toast with some of mayonnaise and top with half of egg, tomato, bacon, and herbs. Spread both sides of 4 more slices of toast with mayonnaise and place on top. Cover with remaining egg, tomato, bacon, herbs, and toast (spread with mayonnaise). Secure sandwiches with picks and cut as desired.
