Hot Brown Sandwiches

• 6 tablespoon butter
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
• 1 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1 1/2 cup milk
• 3/4 cup grated parmesan
• 6 slices bread, toasted
• 1 pound cooked turkey or chicken, sliced thinly
• 3/4 teaspoon paprika
• 2 small tomatoes, each cut into 6 slices
• 12 slices bacon, cooked*
• arugula, for garnish

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. Melt the butter over low heat in a medium-sized saucepan. Add the flour, and cook over low heat, whisking constantly until smooth, about 1 minute. Whisk in the salt and pepper. Gradually add the broth and milk and cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until thickened and smooth. Add the Parmesan and cook, whisking constantly until melted, about 3 minutes. (The sauce will be thick.)
3. Place 1 piece of toast on each of 6 ovenproof plates. Place the turkey or chicken on each toast slice and cover each with about ½ cup sauce, and season with the paprika. Top each with 2 tomato slices and 2 bacon slices. Bake until the sauce is bubbly, about 10 minutes. Garnish with arugula, if desired.
