Ingredients

  • 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

Directions

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.

    Amazing! As a good gay friend I made it for my friends wedding shower! All the ladies LOVED it. A perfect appetizer because it is light and dainty but still has some substance. They were devoured!

    My sister-in-law made this for our Christmas party this year. The colors in the layers were so festive, the taste--fabulous. I immediately wanted the recipe!

    Great recipe for a take to event. I made the pesto from Ina Garten's the day before to set the flavor's. I did not add the egg crepe's because of the travel time involved. After taking to two events it has been a hit and everyone wants the recipe. In small towns it is harder to find the foccacia but Walmart, although not as good. carries it.
