directions

  • To make the sauce: In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Whisk in the flour to make a thick roux.
  • While whisking constantly, gradually add the milk; cook slowly, whisking frequently, for 5-10 minutes to remove any taste of raw flour.
  • Whisk in parmesan cheese; let the mixture cool slightly.
  • Add in the egg; place saucepan back on burner; stir until sauce is thickened (do not let sauce boil or it will curdle).
  • Remove from heat; fold in whipped cream if desired; set aside and keep warm.
  • To make sandwiches: Preheat broiler.
  • For each sandwich: place 2 slices of toast on a flameproof plate.
  • Cover with a liberal amount of turkey.
  • Pour a generous amount of sauce over the turkey and toast.
  • Sprinkle with additional grated parmesan cheese.
  • Place the dish under the broiler until the sauce is speckled brown and bubbly.
  • Remove from oven; cross two pieces of bacon over the top and serve immediately.
