The Heartstopper Club Recipes

TRUFFLE SCENTED CHICKEN CLUB

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Preheat a grill pan.
• Chicken Salad: Season both sides of the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and a little oil. Place on the grill for approximately 2 1/2 minutes on each side, remove from the grill and place in the oven to finish the cooking process. When the chicken is fully cooked, approximately 12 minutes, place in the refrigerator to cool. After the chicken has cooled, dice it in small bite size pieces and place in a stainless steel bowl with the 1/2 cup mayonnaise, chopped truffle, and truffle oil. Mix well and reserve for later use.
• Spread a small amount of mayonnaise onto 2 slices of the sour dough bread. On 1 of the slices with mayonnaise place the following items; Boston lettuce, 2 slices of tomato, 3 slices cooked bacon, 3 slices avocado, and half of the bean sprouts, place the other slice of bread on top mayonnaise side down. Next place half of the reserved chicken salad on top of the dry side of bread and spread evenly, finish the sandwich with the last slice of dry bread and place in a panini press until toasted. Remove the sandwich from the press and cut in quarters. Repeat with remaining bread and fillings. Serve with French fries or potato chips.

OVENGOLDANDREG; TURKEY AND SWISS CLUB

Steps:

• Toast the bread on both sides in a toaster or using the broiler. On a clean surface, place the three slices of bread side-by-side. Spread mayonnaise on one side of each bread slice. Stack the following ingredients in order on the first slice of bread, lettuce, tomato, cheese, turkey, ham, bacon, and a slice of bread. Repeat sequence for second layer and serve.

BREADLESS DOUBLE-DECKER TURKEY CLUB

Steps:

• Core the apple and slice into 1/4-inch-thick round slices, slicing from the center of the apple to get even pieces. Coat the apple slices with lemon juice. Place down an apple slice as the base of the sandwich and top with 2 slices of turkey, 1 slice of cheese crisscrossed, 1 slice of bacon crisscrossed and 1/4 cup arugula. Top with another slice of apple and repeat with the remaining ingredients. Top with another apple slice. If transporting for an on-the-go lunch, wrap the sandwich tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to eat.

TURKEY CLUB

Steps:

• Bread: Use 3 slices of a good white sandwich bread (pain au lait or Pullman loaves are ideal). Be sure to toast it!
• Lettuce: Bibb and Boston lettuce both have nice small, soft leaves that fit well on the sandwich; shredded iceberg can be unruly.
• Tomatoes: Add 2 slices of tomato to each layer of a club; season with salt and pepper before you continue building the sandwich.
• Turkey: Fresh roasted turkey is key. Rub a 2 1/4-pound skinless, boneless turkey breast with olive oil; sprinkle generously with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Roast 10 minutes at 425˚ F, then reduce to 350˚ F and roast until the internal temperature is 160˚ F, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool, then slice.
• Mayonnaise: Spread a thick layer of mayo on each slice of toasted bread.
• Bacon: You'll want 3 slices per sandwich (1 1/2 slices in each layer). Halve the slices first, then cook in a skillet over medium heat until crisp.

BALTIMORE BAD BOY CLUB

Steps:

• Preheat a charcoal grill.
• Toast bread and bacon slices on the grill. Toss Pit Beef and sliced ham on grill to warm before placing on sandwich. Shred lettuce. Assemble the sandwich in this order:1 slice bread, lettuce, BBQ sauce, ham, another slice of bread, bacon, mayo, tomato, Pit Beef, mac and cheese and final slice of bread.
• Preheat a charcoal grill to 400 degrees F.
• Sprinkle beef with rub and grill over direct heat, turning occasionally, until a nice crust forms, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Don't overcook. Rare with a nice char is best because we are going to throw the sliced meat back on the charcoals to heat up before putting on sandwich. Cool completely, then slice about 1/2-inch thick.
