- 1 tbsp mayo
- 2 slices tomato
- olives
- thinly-sliced bell peppers

- Arrange ham slices in a single stack, place on back half of griddle.
- Once ham is browned on the first side, flip it over. place onions and mozzarella on top.
- Flip steak. Remove ham/onion/cheese stack from griddle and place on top of steak. Cover to melt cheese if necessary.
- Place the bacon and eggs on top of the melted cheese.
- Prep bun with your desired condiments
- Remove steak/ham/onion/cheese/bacon/egg stack from griddle carefully and place on bottom half of bun.
- Take a closer look. Make sure you are ready for this. Possibly seek religious counseling.
- Nonchalantly approach the sandwich. Do not make any aggressive moves, as you may cause a meat stampede.
- With a smooth motion, invert the top bun over the pile of meat, thus completing the illusion that you’ll be able to eat this with your hands.
- Unhinge your jaw and eat. Make friends with the many creatures who come along to devour your spillage.
