Directions
1Preheat the griddle to 375ºF. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. In batches, render the bacon until crispy. Drain on paper towels and reserve.
2Heat a saucepan over medium heat. Add the butter and melt until just beginning to froth.
3Add the flour and whisk to form a roux, cooking it while stirring for 3 minutes.

5Stir in the cheese and cook for another 2 minutes. Reserve.
6Butter one side of each slice of brioche and toast, butter-side down for about 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer each slice of bread to a plate and reserve.
7Brown the ham and turkey in batches on the griddle until browned and heated through.
8Divide the ham on turkey evenly across each slice of toast.
9Brown the tomato slices on the griddle and place two on top of each sandwich.
10Top each sandwich with two slices of bacon, then a generous portion of the mornay sauce. Serve hot.
