    Recipe Introduction


    This sandwich from Carlo Middione, chef/owner of Vivande Porta Via in
    San Franciscois, is a take-off on a croque monsieur. If you don't have
    focaccia, use French sandwich bread instead.

    List of Ingredients




    8 (4 x 4-inch) pieces onion-olive or other focaccia, about 1 inch thick,
    cut in half

    12 ounces dark or mixed white and dark turkey meat, sliced

    Salt and pepper to taste

    8 thin slices baked ham

    8 thin slices Fontina or Taleggio, about 4 to 6 ounces

    The Custard

    2 eggs

    2 cups whole or 2% milk

    1/2 teaspoon salt

    Few grinds pepper

    For Frying

    2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, more if needed

    Recipe



    Place 4 pieces of the focaccia on a work surface. Divide turkey among
    them. Season with salt and pepper. Top each sandwich with 2 slices of
    ham and 2 slices of cheese. Top with remaining slices of focaccia.
    Combine eggs, milk, salt and pepper in a shallow bowl; whisk to combine.
    Soak sandwiches, one by one, in egg mixture for about 1 minute per side.

    Heat oil in a large skillet. Fry sandwiches on both sides, in batches if
    needed, until golden brown on both sides. Slice in half. Yields 4
    sandwiches
