    One of my favorite meals while growing up was a California Club Sandwich. Unlike a traditional club sandwich, my west coast version also includes ripe avocado and alfalfa sprouts!

    If you're a lover of a good sandwich, you'll also want to check out my recipes for Leftover Prime Rib Sandwich, Mini Bacon Jalapeno Egg Salad Sandwiches, and my Summer Veggie Sandwich.

    Why this sandwich is so delicious:

    When you make a sandwich like this, it is more than a meal. Perhaps its nostalgia, perhaps its just a love of delicious food, but this sandwich is way more than just a sandwich to me - its an experience. 

    This recipe has everything you might want in a cold cut sandwich. Nothing earth shattering here, but this combination is the perfect amount of creamy, crisp, filling, salty, and satisfying.

    I prefer to leave the bread untoasted, especially when I stack it this high. Otherwise there's really no way to fit it into your mouth!

    avocado, sprouts, tomato, turkey, bacon, cheese

    It's all about the ingredients.

    If you've never had a California Club, the ingredients are simple. In fact, it can vary in many ways but there are two ingredients that will define it as a California Club - avocado and sprouts.

    Now, I much prefer alfalfa sprouts. I actually grow them in a mason jar at home. They aren't so easy to find int he stores these days, though. If you aren't able to find them, microgreens are very similar in taste and texture and make a good substitute.

    The remaining ingredients are what you'd typically find in a regular club sandwich - turkey, bacon, tomato, cheddar cheese, mayo, and of course - exceptional bread that not only holds this monster of a sandwich together, but bread that compliments all the wonderful components of this sandwich.

    One of my favorite meals while growing up was a California Club Sandwich, and they don't get any better than with Martin’s Old-Fashioned Real Butter Bread.

    • 1 teaspoon mayonnaise (more if desired)

    Instructions

    • To layer triple decker sandwich, arrange two slices of bread on a flat surface, leaving the third slice for the top.
    • Divide all remaining ingredients in half and assemble on the two slices of bread. Stack them together and top with remaining piece of Butter Bread.
