Connie and Bill “Stink” Fisher’s The Calvert

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 2

Ingredients

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 (5-inch) round or square pieces rosemary focaccia, split
Vegetable oil or butter, for the griddle
10 slices Monterey Jack cheese
8 ounces sliced oven-roasted turkey
4 slices applewood-smoked bacon, cooked until crisp
1 avocado, halved and thinly sliced

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat a griddle to 350°F.

    Step 2

    Combine the mayonnaise and vinegar in a small bowl. Spread 1 tablespoon on each cut side of the focaccia.

    Step 3

    Add a little oil to the griddle. Place the focaccia, mayonnaise side up, on the griddle. Put 2 slices of cheese on top of each piece of bread, and cover with a heatproof bowl to melt the cheese.

    Step 4

    Meanwhile, divide the turkey into 2 portions and put on the griddle to warm. Place the bacon slices in an “X” over each portion, and cover with the avocado and remaining cheese. Once the cheese is melted all around, put a mound of turkey on 2 bottom halves, and top with the remaining bread.

    Step 5

    Add a bit more oil to the griddle and press the sandwiches with a cast-iron pan or other heavy thing, turning once, until the bread is crisp on both sides.
