Butter2 tbsp
Salt1/4 tsp
Bacon4 strips
Tomato1 medium
Parsley2 tbsp

Method

1

Preheat the broiler to high. Cook bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until crispy, about 5 minutes; crumble and set aside. Slice tomato and chop parsley; set aside.

2

Place bread slices on a baking sheet. Toast under the broiler for 1–2 minutes per side until light golden; remove and arrange on a serving platter.

3

Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour to form a paste and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

4

Gradually whisk in warm milk, stirring to prevent lumps. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.

5

Remove from heat and stir in cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and white pepper.

6

Divide turkey among the toasted bread slices. Pour warm cheese sauce evenly over each piece, covering the edges.

7

Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 2–3 minutes, watching carefully, until the cheese sauce bubbles and browns lightly.

8

Transfer to plates and garnish with crumbled bacon, tomato slices, and fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
