Preparation

Step 1

Special equipment: cocktail forks

Use a small round cookie cutter to cut circles out of the cheese and bread. (You may also use the rim of a small glass to create the round shape; aim to get 2 circles out of each piece of cheese.) Toast the bread until lightly toasted.

In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, adobo sauce, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir with a spoon until combined.

Assemble the sandwiches: Start by spreading the bread with the chipotle mayo; layer with a lettuce leaf (torn to match the size of the bread), 2 slices of cheese, 2 slices of tomato, some turkey, a slice of avocado and a piece of bacon. Top with a second slice of bread and skewer with cocktails forks. Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt and drizzle with olive oil.
