Devonshire Sammies

The Devonshire Sandwich was created by Frank Blandi in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania; traditionally an open faced turkey and bacon sandwich drowned in cheddar cheese sauce and baked to perfection. Transform these artery clogging sandwiches into finger food for your next party.

The following steps will show you how to make 20 Devonshire Sammies accompanied by a crock of cheddar dipping sauce.

Why are they called Devonshire sandwiches if they actually were first made in Pittsburgs, Pa

Congratulations on your win! I'd like to give these a try but I think I'd need to clear them with my cardiologist first! :-) Scott

what's broil? is that the same as grill in the UK?

[wizgirl]

Not sure, it's when the coils at the top of the oven heat up.

You can use a toaster instead, I used the oven because I don't have a toaster :).

Of course, if you use a toaster, toast the bread before you cut it into pieces.

yep, that's a grill - it always amuses me when there are language barriers between two english countries. i can't imagine what i'm saying when i try to speak french!

The recipe is printing as I type!
Thanks, they sure look good.
I was thinking of adding a skew into them.
Toothpick, maybe? Good for dipping.
