INGREDIENTS
1 Slice of Texas Toast or Homemade
Bread (sliced thick)
1 Piece Thick Sliced Turkey Breast
1 Thick Slice of Fresh Tomato
Olive Oil (for roasting the tomato)
2 slices Thick Cut Bacon
1/4 Cup Fresh Grated Parmesan
Parsley
Mornay Sauce (as desired)
Kentucky Hot Brown
An Open Faced Classic from the Brown Hotel !
Start by drizzling a small amount of olive oil over a thick slice of ripe tomato on a baking sheet. Season with salt and fresh ground black
pepper and place into an oven at 425*. Roast until the tomato starts to soften being careful to not overcook or the tomato will become
mushy.
While the tomato is roasting we will begin frying our bacon and creating the Mornay sauce.
To make the Mornay
Melt the butter over medium heat (or margarine) in a small saucepan. Add one tablespoon of flour and cook till the flour develops a nutty
aroma. This will remove the taste of flour from the sauce. Add 1 cup of heavy cream and reduce heat to a simmer, stirring frequently.
Begin adding the shredded cheese and the fresh grated Parmesan. Add enough cheese to thicken the sauce once melted. Adjust by adding a
small amount of heavy cream if the sauce is too thick, or additional cheese if it is too thin. You want a sauce thick enough to stand atop the
turkey without being pasty.
Add just one or two scrapes of fresh grated nutmeg (or a small pinch if using ground) and a small amount of fresh ground black pepper.
To Make the Sandwich
Once the bacon has been cooked to your liking remove from the frying pan and place on a plate with a paper towel (reserving the bacon fat
in the pan). Place the sliced turkey into the pan with the reserved bacon fat and cook till it starts to brown. Flip and cook the other side the
same way.
Toast the Texas toast or homemade bread in a toaster. Place the sliced turkey over the toasted bread.
Pour a small amount of Mornay sauce over the turkey and brown in the salamander (broiler) or with a chef’s torch.
Top with the bacon and roasted tomato. Garnish with additional fresh grated Parmesan and chopped parsley.
