Ingredients
- 18 slices sandwich bread
- 12 slices bacon, cut in half
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon prepared basil pesto
- 1 tablespoon prepared sun-dried tomato pesto (or just a couple of pureed sun-dried tomatoes)
- 1 pound shaved roast beef
- 6 slices Cheddar (sandwich slices)
- Green leaf lettuce
- 3 large red tomatoes, sliced thick
- Avocado slices
- 1 pound shaved ham
- 1 red onion, sliced very thin
- Chips, for serving
Instructions
- Toast the bread in the toaster until light golden brown. Set aside.
- Fry the bacon until just barely crisp, and then drain on a paper towel. Set aside.
- Mix together 2 tablespoons of the mayonnaise with the basil pesto. In a separate bowl, mix an additional 2 tablespoons mayonnaise with the sun-dried tomato pesto.
- To make one sandwich: Spread 2 pieces of toast with basil pesto mayo. On one piece of bread, lay some roast beef on top of the pesto mayo, then top with a slice of cheese and some lettuce. On the other piece of bread, lay the slices of tomato on top of the pesto mayo. Top with some avocado and bacon. Lift the second slice of bread and place it, ingredient-side down, on top of the first piece of bread.
- For the second layer: On the top of the top piece of bread, spread the sun-dried tomato mayo. Spread one side of the third piece of bread with sun-dried tomato mayo. Place ham, cheese, red onion and lettuce on top. Top with bacon slices.
- Place this piece of bread, ingredient-side down, on top of the first piece of bread. Use a sharp knife to cut the sandwich in half (on the diagonal) then again in fourths. (Use large toothpicks to secure if needed.)
- Serve with chips!

Reviews
These were super yummy and easy to make. I only made enough for four sandwiches to suit my family. Serve with some seasoned french fries and it makes a quick throw together dinner.
Pesto and mayo mixed is now my favorite sandwich spread.
This / These are good, Layers of Flavor- Tasty! Skip one slice of bread. More taste!
I made this for a group of ladies it was my first catering event the sandwiches were Awesome!!! Ree has never failed me. I will be making this again!!
Made these sandwiches and hubby loved them. Really liked the mayo with the pesto and I tomato pesto. This is a keeper.
These look good but I don’t understand why people on these shows want to make sandwiches with so much stuff in them and so tall you can’t eat them and get all the sandwich in one bite
Love it will make again!!
This is great sandwich-shop quality! And they are huge! My husband and I both loved it, but we had to share it because it was so big and I had made soup to go with it. I think it’s important that your lunch meat is shaved. I don’t think sliced meat would have the same effect. And make sure it’s good quality meat like Boar’s Head.
I made this Sandwich for my husband and dropped it off for his lunch. He loved it!! I went home and made one for myself and I loved it too!!
This sandwich is Legit!! All the flavors and textures are just right!.
This were very good and the only cooking involved is frying the bacon.
