# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's the kind of sandwich that feels fancy enough to make you proud but casual enough to throw together on a Tuesday.
  • Crispy, creamy, savory, fresh—every bite hits a different note and you never get bored.
  • Once you nail the triple-decker technique, you'll start making these for everyone you know.
02 -
  • If your sandwich falls apart, it's because the toast wasn't toasted enough or you skipped the mayo between the layers—mayo is structural, not just flavor.
  • Don't slice the tomato too thin or it'll slide everywhere. Thick enough to hold together, thin enough to taste fresh.
03 -
  • Pat the tomato slices dry with a paper towel before layering so the bread doesn't get soggy.
  • Keep your lettuce in ice water until assembly—that extra crispness is what makes the whole thing snap when you bite it.
