1
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir in the all-purpose flour and whisk for a minute to combine well.
2
Gradually pour in the whole milk, whisking constantly, then increase the heat slightly and bring the mixture to a boil.
3
Reduce heat to low and continue to cook and whisk until the sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes.
4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the shredded white cheddar cheese and grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, stirring until the cheeses have melted and the sauce is smooth.
5
Season the sauce with ground nutmeg, hot sauce, kosher salt, and freshly cracked black pepper, then set aside.
SANDWICH
6
Preheat oven to 425ºF and arrange bacon slices on a rack over a sheet pan. Bake until crispy, about 30 minutes.
7
While the bacon is in the oven, broil the sliced tomatoes. Arrange the tomato slices on a baking sheet, drizzle with canola oil, and season with kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, until lightly charred, then set aside.
8
Turn down the oven's temperature to 350ºF. Arrange the slices of day-old white sandwich bread on a baking sheet, spread a even layer of softened butter on each slice, and toast in the oven until golden, about 5 minutes.
9
Top each slice of toasted bread with 2 slices of roast turkey breast and a slice of charred tomato.
10
Generously spoon the cheese sauce over each sandwich, ensuring it covers the turkey and tomato. Sprinkle remaining shredded white cheddar and grated Parmigiano-Reggiano evenly over the top.
11
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted, becomes golden brown, and bubbles, about 5 to 7 minutes.
12
Once done, remove sandwiches from the oven and top each with 2 slices of the crispy bacon before serving warm.
