Main Ingredients

1 1/8 lb (500 g) Roasted turkey breast

4 slices Texas toast

8 slices Bacon

1 large Tomato

7.05 oz (200 g) Cheddar cheese

Mornay Sauce

1 3/4 oz (50 g) Butter

1 3/4 oz (50 g) 00 bread flour

2 1/8 cup (500 ml) Milk

1 3/4 oz (50 g) Grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp Celtic sea salt

1 tsp black pepper

1 tsp Nutmeg

Method

Preparing the Main Ingredients

Prepare the Turkey

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the roasted turkey breast in the oven for about 15 minutes to warm it through. Once heated, slice it into thin pieces.

Cook the Bacon

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place them on paper towels to drain excess fat.

Prepare the Tomato

Wash the tomato and slice it into thin rounds.

Toast the Texas Toast

In the same skillet or a toaster, toast the Texas toast slices until golden brown.

Making the Mornay Sauce

Make a Roux

In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes until it turns light golden brown.

Add Milk

Slowly whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to cook and whisk until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

Incorporate Cheeses and Seasonings

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg until smooth.

Assembling the Dish

Layer the Ingredients

On each slice of Texas toast, layer the warmed roasted turkey slices, followed by crispy bacon, and tomato slices.

Add Mornay Sauce

Generously spoon the Mornay sauce over the layered ingredients.

Top with Cheddar Cheese

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the Mornay sauce.

Final Bake

Place the assembled sandwiches on a baking sheet and bake in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
