How to make a Classic Carnivore Club Sandwich
To start – make the Duck Fat Mayonnaise.
Follow this recipe. Store the mayo in the fridge in an airtight container (or a condiment squeeze bottle, if you prefer) until you’re ready to use it.
Next – make the Carnivore Sandwich Bread.
Follow this recipe.
Note: if you can’t tolerate pork, make Carnivore Sandwich Bread [Beef Version] instead.
Once done, allow the bread to rest on the countertop or on a cooling rack.
Once cooled, slice the bread into 1-inch thick slices (or whatever thickness you prefer), and set aside.
Next – cook the bacon.
In a cooking pan or in the oven, cook all of the bacon as you normally do.
Once done, set the bacon aside on a plate to cool.
Now – put it all together.
Drizzle the mayo on the insides of both ends of the bread.
Stack the ham, raw cheese, turkey, and bacon on top of the bottom slice of bread, and top with the other slice of bread.
If preferred, cut each sandwich in half. Place toothpicks in the half-sandwiches to hold the pieces together.
Serve, savor, and enjoy! Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days.
Tips to make the best Classic Carnivore Club Sandwich
- When you add the duck fat to the base mixture, make sure you add it VERY slowly. Don’t rush this part!
- If storing in a condiment squeeze bottle, the mayo may firm up a bit after sitting in the fridge. Just squeeze the bottle a few times to massage it and it will end up squeezing out.
- Do not skip any of the steps. In the past, I sometimes would not follow the texture instructions (i.e. beat egg whites until frothy, separate these two ingredients into a separate bowl and mix, etc.) for recipes, and it makes a difference. Each step in the recipe is important for maintaining texture.
For the Club Sandwiches:
- I highly recommend using toothpicks to hold the sandwiches together. They’re quite tall and will probably fall apart without the toothpicks holding the components together.

Thank you for your many carnivore recipes! We are starting this WOE in November and the recipes you share actually make this more manageable! I’m totally going to be making bread and this sandwich.
