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.

I thought these sandwiches were just okay. They were easy to make, but they didn't really wow me. The flavor was bland and the bread was dry. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

These sandwiches were a bit too heavy for my taste. The bread was too thick and the meat and cheese were too fatty. I also found the flavor of the roasted red peppers to be overpowering.

These sandwiches were delicious! I made them for my husband and he loved them. He said they were the best sandwiches he's ever had. I will definitely be making these again.

I'm not a huge fan of Italian food, but I really enjoyed these sandwiches. They're light and flavorful, and the bread is perfectly toasted. I especially liked the addition of the roasted red peppers. They added a nice smoky flavor to the sandwich.

These mini Italian club sandwiches were a hit at my last party! They're so easy to make and they're always a crowd-pleaser. I love the combination of flavors and textures in these sandwiches. The bread is crispy, the meat and cheese are savory, and t
