Pittsburgh

Serves Two

Devonshire Sandwich

Ingredients:

2 slices of bread, toasted

2 slices of bacon

6 slices of turkey lunch meat

¼ c butter

¼ c flour

¼ c cheddar cheese

½ c chicken broth

½ c milk

flake parmesan cheese

olive oil

Directions:

            To begin, heat a frying pan with a dash of oil. Add bacon to the pan and fry until crispy. Meanwhile, toast the bread until crispy. When bacon is done, remove from pan and dry on a paper towel. Drain all fat from the pan and place back on oven on medium heat.

            Add the butter to the pan and allow to completely melt. Add the flour, making a roux, and let the flour mixture cook about fie minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the chicken broth to the pan, mix well and bring heat to a medium-low. Cook until thick, about five minutes.

            Meanwhile, place milk in a small pot and bring almost to a boil, scalding the milk. Add the milk to the flour mixture, and stir until well incorporated. Shred the cheddar cheese, add to the flour mixture and remove from heat. Mix so the cheese is melted in sauce. Add milk if mixture is too thick, you want the consistency to be slightly runny.

            Assemble sandwich with the toast, turkey and bacon. Pour cheese sauce over the sandwiches until completely covered and enjoy. Go Steelers!
