The Calvert Sandwich...OH SO YUMMY!!!

Who doesnt love anything with avocado and bacon??? This recipe is off of the food network and is so tasty!! My sister gave me this recipe and we are so glad she did. I didnt use so much cheese. I also couldnt find focaccia rolls but used focaccia bread instead. To make balsamic mayonnaise, just mix some mayonnaise with balsamic vinegar. I also didnt use a panini grill. It was tasty!!!

  • 2 tablespoons balsamic mayonnaise
    1 (5-inch) round rosemary focaccia
    5 slices Monterey Jack cheese
    4 ounces oven-roasted turkey, sliced
    2 pieces applewood smoked bacon, cooked until crisp
    1/2 avocado, sliced into thin strips

Spread the balsamic mayonnaise on the inside of top and bottom of focaccia. Place with mayonnaise sides facing up on a flat top grill at 350 degrees F. Drape 2 slices of cheese over top and 2 slices over bottom of roll so as to cover the entire surface area. Place dome over focaccia to facilitate melting and even heat. While cheese is melting, place turkey on grill to warm. Place bacon in an "x" over the turkey. Cover with avocado and remaining cheese. Once cheese is melted all around (focaccia and turkey) assemble the grilled cheese and close. Place finished sandwich in a panini grill until roll is crisp and has added squishiness! EAT!!!

So true about the avacado and bacon. Was this just on Oprah's cook off? I went to her page to get a recipe from that. This looks so awesome. I'm glad you liked the waffles!
