Wrap it up tightly in plastic wrap and press down firmly! This recipe was featured in the cookbook “Toast & Sandwiches.” Using plastic wrap is the key! Recipe background: I tore up a lot of lettuce and decided to use it all in one sandwich (haha).

Steps

1

Prep: Wash the lettuce and pat dry. Cook the egg over-easy or over-hard. Toast the bread.
2

Lay a sheet of plastic wrap on your work surface and place a slice of bread on top. Spread butter on one slice and mayonnaise on the other.
3

Layer the lettuce on the slice with mayonnaise. Add extra mayonnaise between layers to help hold the lettuce together.
4

Keep stacking the lettuce—it will get tall! Pile it all on, then place the cooked egg on top and season with salt and pepper.
5

Add the ham (or bacon), then top with the other slice of bread. Use the plastic wrap underneath to wrap the sandwich tightly, pressing down firmly to compress it to a regular sandwich size.
6

Cut the sandwich in half through the plastic wrap, and it’s ready to serve!
