Ingredients
For the sandwich:

• 4 slices bacon
• 4 thick slices Texas toast or white sandwich bread
• 10 ounces deli-sliced roast turkey
• 1 tomato
• 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt, optional
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, optional
• 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

For the cheese sauce:

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup whole milk, room temperature
• 1/2 cup heavy cream, room temperature
• 1/4 cup (1 ounce) grated Pecorino Romano
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line two baking sheets with aluminum foil.
2. Lay the bacon slices on one baking sheet and bake until crispy, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
3. Toast 4 slices of bread. Place 2 slices on the second baking sheet. Cut the other 2 slices into triangles and set aside. Slice the tomato into 4 pieces.
4. Divide the turkey between the 2 slices of toast on the baking sheet. Top with 2 tomato slices each. Season with salt and pepper.
5. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute. Slowly add the milk and cream, whisking constantly until smooth and thick, about 3 minutes.
6. Remove from heat and whisk in the Pecorino Romano, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir until the cheese melts. Taste and adjust seasonings.
7. Spoon half of the cheese sauce over each sandwich. Preheat the broiler. Broil the sandwiches until the sauce is bubbly and browned, about 3-5 minutes.
8. Transfer each sandwich and two toast triangles to a plate. Spoon the remaining sauce over the sandwiches. Crisscross 2 slices of bacon on top of each sandwich and garnish with parsley. Serve hot.
