Ingredients
Scale
White Sauce:
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 1 Tablespoons Flour
- 1 1/2 Cups Milk
- 1/2 Cup Fresh Parmesan
- 1/4 Teaspoon Nutmeg
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Butter Mixture:
- 1/2 Stick Butter
- 1 Teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 Teaspoons Brown Sugar
- 2 Teaspooms Dijon Mustard
- 1 Teaspoon Dehydrated Onion
- Splash of Bourbon (about 1/4 teaspoon) - optional
Sandwiches:
- 1 Package of Hawaiian Rolls (12)
- 1 Pound of Turkey, sliced (or 12 slices)
- 9 Pieces of Bacon
- 1 Cup Cherry Tomatoes, quartered
- 1/4 - 1/2 Cup Mayonnaise
- 1/2 Cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
Instructions
Bacon
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
- Add the bacon to a large skillet and cook on medium heat on the stove until crispy.
- Once crispy, remove it and place it on a plate lined with a paper towel. Let it cool. Set aside for later.
White Sauce
- While the bacon is cooking, start the white sauce.
- In a larger saucepan add in butter and melt over medium low heat. Add in the flour and whisk together with the butter. Cook for two minutes - the flour tastes out. This is the base for the roux sauce to thicken.
- Reduce the heat to low, slowly add in milk 1/2 cup at a time, and whisk until thick and combined. Whisk generously to ensure all clumps are out and that the mixture doesn't scorch on the bottom of the pan.
- Add in the parmesan cheese and spices. Whisk until the mixture has thickened. Once it is thick, remove from the heat or keep on a warm setting until needed.
Butter Sauce
- While the bacon and white sauce are cooking, start this as well.
- Add the butter and the rest of the ingredients into a small saucepan on medium-low on the stove. Let melt completely, whisking to stir everything together.
- Keep on the stove until needed
Assembly
- Slice Hawaiian rolls in half and break each piece apart. Line the bottom of the rolls in a 9x13 dish.
- Place a small amount of mayo on the bottom of each roll and spread to the edge. It doesn't take much, just enough to cover the bottom.
- Fold 1 slice of turkey onto each sandwich.
- Break the bacon into halves or thirds, adding 1-2 pieces on top of the turkey.
- Add some tomatoes on top.
- Spoon a generous amount of white sauce over top each roll. 1-2 tablespoons for each roll. You will have leftover sauce (perfect for dipping sandwiches in!).
- Sprinkle remaining parmesan cheese over top.
- Place the tops of the rolls back on and brush each top with the butter mixture. Be generous with this.
- Place in the oven and cook for 20 minutes.
- Remove and serve immediately while hot!
Notes
- Leftovers can be kept for up to 1-2 days. To reheat, place in microwave for 15 seconds until just warmed all the way through.
