TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 30 min. 

MAKES:18 servings

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
• 1/4 cup boiling water
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup half-and-half cream
• 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
• 18 slices snack rye bread
• 6 ounces sliced deli turkey
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced and separated into rings
• 5 Jones Dairy Farm Dry-Aged Bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

 

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°. Dissolve bouillon in water; set aside.
2. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour until smooth; add cream and bouillon. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Stir in cheese until melted. Remove from heat.
3. Place bread on two baking sheets. Layer each slice with turkey, onion and cheese mixture. Bake until heated through, 10-12 minutes. (Or preheat broiler and broil until edges of bread are crisp and sauce is bubbly, 3-5 minutes.) Sprinkle with bacon and parsley. Yield: 1-1/2 dozen. 

Try them as a slider: double the amount of bread slices but only top half. After assembling, use the remaining bread slices to top your mini sandwiches.
