Directions:

Trim crusts from bread and discard. Arrange 4 bread triangles in a single layer in each lightly greased individual baking dishes or a 9-by-12-by-2-inch baking dish that can go under the broiler. Melt butter in a large skillet over low heat; whisk in flour. Cook, whisking constantly, 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk; add salt and pepper. Increase heat to medium; cook, whisking constantly, until thick and bubbly. Add cheese, stirring until melted. Pour half the sauce evenly over the toast. Add a layer of ham and a layer of turkey, dividing evenly. Top with remaining sauce. Broil 5 inches from heat until bubbly and lightly browned. Top each sandwich with 2 bacon strips. Serve immediately.
