Steps:
- Whisk the eggs, cream, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl until well blended. Heat a 6-inch-diameter nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Brush the skillet with some butter. Pour 1/4 cup of the egg mixture into the pan, swirling to coat the bottom of the pan evenly. Cover and cook until the egg crepe is just set, about 1 minute and 30 seconds. Invert the skillet over a plate, and allow the egg crepe to drop onto the plate. Repeat to make 4 crepes total, brushing the skillet with melted butter as needed and stacking crepes on the plate.
- Cook the bacon in a heavy large frying pan until crisp. Transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain.
- Preheat a griddle or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cut the focaccia horizontally in half. Place the focaccia cut side down on the griddle and cook until the focaccia is heated through and golden brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Spread the pesto over the toasted sides of each halved focaccia. Cover the bottom halves of the focaccia with the egg crepes, turkey, provolone and bacon, dividing equally. Cover with the top halves of focaccia, pesto side down. Cut the sandwich into bite-size wedges. Arrange the sandwiches on a platter and serve.

CLASSIC CLUB SANDWICHES
I love Club Sandwiches and came up with this one afternoon using DH's favorite sandwich ingredients which are Turkey, Bacon and Swiss Cheese. He declared it delicious! :) The technique is not hard as long as you get your ingredients together and create an assembly line. Use a good sharp serated knife to easily cut these into bite size triangles.

AVOCADO-AND-SPROUT CLUB SANDWICHES
One of the golden rules of sandwich making is to use contrasting flavors and textures. Consider the classic California vegetable sandwich, which wouldn't be the same without crunchy sprouts, creamy avocado, sharp radish, and tangy goat cheese. This recipe appears in our cookbook "Martha Stewart's Vegetables" (Clarkson Potter).

CLUB SANDWICHES
Oh, the perfection of a well-made club sandwich: layers of crisp bacon, tender chicken pulled from the bone (no cardboard chicken breasts here), slices of the ripest tomato you can find and crunchy romaine lettuce leaves. All of this nestled between slices of toasted white bread slathered with homemade mayonnaise. And no one would bristle if you added slices of avocado. They might declare you a genius.

NEW ZEALAND APPLE DESSERT CLUB SANDWICHES
This is posted for the World Tour 2005 RecipeZaar event. I haven't made these yet, but have tasted them. Very unique, easy and delicious. The source is my HEB grocery store - they made samples to promote the New Zealand apples. I doubt it's originally from New Zealand, but is a more contemporary idea for New Zealand ingredients. This makes a great dessert, after school snack, and they pack well to go. Note: you can substitute low or non-fat cream cheese and sour cream if desired.
