This paper studies the entire solutions of a class of $p$-Laplace equation

- div$(|\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u)+a(x)W^'(u(x,y))=0, (x,y)\in R^2$

in the case $p>2$. where $a:\mathbf{R}\rightarrow \mathbf{R_{+}}$ is a periodic, positive function and $W:\mathbf{R}\rightarrow \mathbf{R}$ is a non-negative $C^{2}$ function. We look for the entire solutions of the above equation with asymptotic conditions $u(x,y)\rightarrow \pm 1$ as $x\rightarrow\pm\infty$ uniformly with respect to $y\in \mathbf{R}$. Via variational methods we find layered solutions which depend on both x and y, i.e., solutions which do not exhibit one dimensional symmetries.
