Turkey, Egg, Bacon, and Roasted Garlic Aioli Sandwich
Ingredients:
- 16 ounces leftover turkey breast, thinly sliced
- 8 Slices crispy applewood smoked bacon
- 4 Large eggs
- Bibb lettuce
- 4 Slices beefsteak tomatoes
- 8 Slices potato bread
- 3 Tablespoons butter
Directions:
1. With a biscuit cutter, press a hole in the center of the slice of bread.
2. Heat a frying pan over medium-low heat and melt in the butter. When the butter is all spread out, place the piece of bread in the center of the pan and crack the egg into the center of the hole. Place the other side next to it and toast.
3. Cook until the egg sets a bit on the bottom. Sprinkle the egg with salt and freshly ground black pepper. After about a minute, flip it over with a spatula and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper the other side. Keep cooking until the yolk feels soft.
4. Place the bottom part of the bread on a plate or serving platter, spread some of the garlic aioli (see recipe below), place a leaf of lettuce, a slice of tomato, turkey and bacon, spread a bit more aioli on the bottom part of the "egg slice of bread." Place on top of the turkey.
