Categories     appetizer

Time 33m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 large eggs
2 tablespoons whipping cream
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon (about) unsalted butter
10 slices bacon
2 (8-ounce) round loaves focaccia bread (7-inch diameter)
1 cup purchased pesto
8 ounces thinly sliced turkey
4 ounces thinly sliced provolone cheese

Steps:

  • Whisk the eggs, cream, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl until well blended. Heat a 6-inch-diameter nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Brush the skillet with some butter. Pour 1/4 cup of the egg mixture into the pan, swirling to coat the bottom of the pan evenly. Cover and cook until the egg crepe is just set, about 1 minute and 30 seconds. Invert the skillet over a plate, and allow the egg crepe to drop onto the plate. Repeat to make 4 crepes total, brushing the skillet with melted butter as needed and stacking crepes on the plate.
  • Cook the bacon in a heavy large frying pan until crisp. Transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain.
  • Preheat a griddle or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cut the focaccia horizontally in half. Place the focaccia cut side down on the griddle and cook until the focaccia is heated through and golden brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Spread the pesto over the toasted sides of each halved focaccia. Cover the bottom halves of the focaccia with the egg crepes, turkey, provolone and bacon, dividing equally. Cover with the top halves of focaccia, pesto side down. Cut the sandwich into bite-size wedges. Arrange the sandwiches on a platter and serve.

Time 26m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 ounces thinly sliced pancetta, diced
6 large eggs, at room temperature
1/4 cup whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
8 (1/2-inch-thick) slices rosemary-olive bread
2 cups arugula
4 slices provolone cheese
8 slices tomato, about 2 medium tomatoes

Steps:

  • Frittata: In a nonstick 10-inch skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown and crispy, about 6 to 8 minutes.
  • While the pancetta is cooking, in a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, whipping cream, salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the cooked pancetta and stir once to incorporate. Cook the egg mixture, without stirring, until the eggs are almost set and the bottom is golden brown, about 5 to 6 minutes. Slide the frittata onto a dinner plate and invert back into the skillet until cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes longer. Transfer the frittata to a cutting board and cut into 4 wedges.
  • Mayonnaise: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and chives until smooth.
  • To assemble the sandwiches: Divide the mayonnaise mixture and spread it evenly over 1 side of each bread slice. Arrange the arugula, a slice of cheese and 2 tomato slices on 4 of the bread slices. Lay the frittata wedges on top of the tomatoes. Cover with the remaining bread slices and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality, flavorful ingredients to elevate the taste of your sandwich.
  • Choose hearty and sturdy bread that can hold up to the fillings and dressing.
  • Toast the bread to add a crispy texture and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Be generous with the fillings, but not so much that the sandwich becomes difficult to eat.
  • Use a variety of textures and flavors to create an interesting and satisfying sandwich.
  • Experiment with different types of bread, fillings, and dressings to create your own unique Italian club sandwich recipe.
