Spring is in the air, which means it’s time to dust off the picnic basket and head outdoors! Whether you’re planning a romantic park date, a family outing, or a friendly gathering, a delicious picnic spread is essential. One of the easiest ways to pack flavor and convenience into your picnic is with picnic sandwiches—they’re portable, satisfying, and easy to prepare ahead of time.
This season, elevate your easy picnic food with Clearfield® cheese, known for its creamy texture and smooth flavor.
1. Ultimate Club Sandwich with Clearfield® Cheese
The club sandwich is a staple of diners and cafés, and for good reason. It combines savory meats, crispy bacon, fresh vegetables, and melty cheese, all stacked between layers of toasted bread. This version, featuring Clearfield® cheese, takes it up a notch in terms of both flavor and texture.

Picnic Packing Tip:
Wrap the sandwiches in parchment paper instead of plastic wrap to prevent them from getting soggy. Store in a reusable container with a cool pack to keep fresh.

By using pre-sliced Buffalo Chicken, this recipe makes it quick and easy to pile that smoky spicy meat high, layered with the perfect partner: Clearfield® White American. Or, if you want to ratchet up the spice level, try our Hot Process Pepper Jack.
