Delicious focaccia bread topped with an assortment of sandwich toppings and served party style.
Ingredients
One recipe of Crusty French Bread
1 square butter, melted
1 Tbsp. Italian seasoning - Johnny's Great Caesar Garlic Spread preferred (available at most Costco stores)
½ cup mayonnaise
½ an 8-oz. carton of guacamole
1 bunch leafy lettuce
30 slices cheese (Jack, Havarti, or Swiss preferred)
30 slices tomato, thinly sliced
30 slices cooked turkey breast or chicken cut about ¼ inch thick (I like Costco's Kirkland oven-roasted turkey, usually found by the pre-cooked ham)
Instructions
Mix ½ cup mayonnaise with ½ cup guacamole.
Slice the bread squares through the middle horizontally and spread the bottom half with the mayo-guacamole mix.
Layer on cheese, tomato, lettuce, and turkey (cheese and turkey are less likely to make the bread soggy so place them next to the bread with the tomatoes and lettuce between them).
Slice the square diagonally through the middle to make two triangles. Secure each triangle with long piks to make sandwich easier to pick up.
Place the sandwiches on a serving tray covered with a bed of lettuce and refrigerate until serving time.
Makes 60 triangle sandwiches
Variations: Add a slice of pre-cooked bacon and/or avocado or replace the guacamole with a teaspoon of picante sauce. You can also replace the turkey with slices of chicken.
Bake a turkey breast and slice it rather than using deli turkey. It’s so much better tasting. As an alternative, use Costco's oven-baked turkey roasts.
Pro Tip: To slice the avocado, cut around the avocado vertically. Twist the avocado halves in opposite directions to break into halves. Remove the pit. Insert a paring knife just under the skin at the small end of each avocado half; gently pull the skin away from the avocado – no need to use a peeler if the avocado is ripe. Remove the pit and slice the avocado. If you are using large avocados, slice the avocados into fourths instead of halves before peeling.
If your avocados are not quite ripe, place them in a 200-degree oven for about 5 minutes or place them in a brown paper bag with a banana and/or apple. They ripen overnight with the bag method.
