THE COOPERSTOWN CLUB

Steps:

• Prepare Tyson chicken according to package directions. Place 2 slices of cheese and 3 slices of cooked bacon on top of each chicken breast; heat for an additional 4-5 minutes until cheese melts. Set aside and keep warm.
• In a small bowl whisk together the maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard and kosher salt. Drizzle olive oil into the bowl in a steady stream while whisking constantly until combined and appears completely smooth. In a medium bowl toss the spinach with 2-3 tablespoons of the maple syrup vinaigrette. Use enough to evenly coat the spinach with dressing. Set aside.
• Divide the dressed spinach evenly on half of the bread slices. On the remaining 4 slices of bread drizzle with about 2-3 tablespoons of the maple vinaigrette. The bread should be evenly coated, but not soggy. Place each chicken breast on top of the dressed spinach leaves. Top with a few apple slices. Close each sandwich. Use remaining vinaigrette as a dipping sauce for the sandwich. Enjoy!

THE HEARTSTOPPER CLUB

Steps:

• Toast the bread so that the middle is soft and the outside is crunchy-a little on the crunchy side is preferable as the bread will be supporting a lot of weight.
• Squirt the Sriracha sauce to taste on one slice of toasted bread. Top with the pulled pork.
• Fry an egg up, leaving it a little runny. Place the egg on the sandwich.
• Using the heat from the fried egg, place the slice of cheese on the egg and melt to your desired consistency. Press the slices of jalapeno into the melting cheese.
• Spread the second slice of toasted bread with aioli and add it to the sandwich.
• Cut the bacon to size and assemble atop the aioli. Add the red leaf lettuce, tomato, basil and oregano. Top with the final slice of toasted bread. Serve with the pickle.
