# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The triple-decker structure means every bite gives you bacon crunch, tender turkey, and fresh vegetables in perfect proportion.
  • It comes together in under 30 minutes but tastes like you spent way more time on it.
  • There's something satisfying about cutting those diagonal quarters and watching them hold together.
02 -
  • Toasting the bread is non-negotiable. It creates a barrier that prevents the mayo and tomato from turning your sandwich into mush within five minutes.
  • The order of layers matters more than you'd think. Lettuce on the outside surfaces, proteins and tomato in the middle, mayo as your glue—this structure is what keeps it together and delicious.
03 -
  • Chill your plates slightly before assembling, especially if you're eating in summer—it keeps everything fresher longer.
  • Slice your tomato thick enough that it won't compress under the weight of the sandwich, but thin enough that it fits proportionally with the other layers.
