Time 1h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

4 tablespoons unsalted soft butter
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups whole milk
2 cups grated sharp white Cheddar
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
Pinch freshly ground nutmeg
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
Salt
8 (1/2-inch) thick slices good day old white bread (recommended: Pullman or Pain de mie)
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
Egg battered bread
Roasted turkey breast, sliced into 1/4-inch thick slices
3 ripe beefsteak tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch thick slices and griddled until slightly charred and just cooked through
1 1/2 cups grated sharp white Cheddar
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
16 thick slices slab bacon, cooked until crisp
Finely chopped fresh chives
Finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Rub entire breast with butter and season with salt and pepper. Place in a small roasting pan and roast for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F and continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 155 degrees F, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven, loosely tent with foil and let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
  • Melt butter over medium heat in a medium saucepan. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Whisk in the milk, bring to a boil and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened and the flour has cooked out, about 4 to 5 minutes. Whisk in cheese and cook until the cheese has melted. Season with nutmeg and salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Whisk together the eggs, milk and salt in a medium bowl. Dip each slice of bread in the mixture and let sit about 30 seconds, or until completely soaked through.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of oil in a large nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat. Cook 4 slices of the bread at a time until golden brown on both sides. Remove and place on a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining bread.
  • For assembly:
  • Preheat broiler. Place the egg bread on a baking sheet, place under the broiler and heat on both sides for 20 seconds just to warm through.
  • Top each slice of bread with 2 to 3 slices of turkey and 2 slices of tomato, ladle sauce over the top and divide the cheddar cheese and Parmesan over the top of each slice. Place under the broiler and cook until bubbly and the top is golden brown. Remove from the oven, top each slice with 2 slices of bacon and sprinkle each slice with chives and parsley.

KENTUCKY HOT BROWN



Kentucky Hot Brown image

Chef Fred K. Schmidt at the Brown Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky, created The Hot Brown sandwich in 1926. In the 1920s, the Brown Hotel drew over 1,200 guests each evening for its dinner dance. The band would play until late, and when the band took bread, around midnight; people would retire to the restaurant for a bite to eat. Bored with the traditional ham and eggs, Chef Schmidt, delighted his guests by creating the Hot Brown.

8 slices toasted white bread, crust trimmed off
1 lb cooked turkey breast, thinly sliced

Tips:

  • Use a good quality bread. A hearty, crusty bread will hold up better to the other ingredients and won't get soggy.
  • Don't skimp on the cheese. The cheese is what really makes the Hot Brown special, so use a good quality cheese that melts well.
  • Make sure the turkey is cooked through. This is especially important if you are using deli turkey, as it can sometimes contain harmful bacteria.
  • If you don't have mornay sauce, you can make a simple béchamel sauce instead. Just melt some butter in a saucepan, whisk in some flour, and then slowly add milk while whisking constantly. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened.
  • Feel free to get creative with your toppings. You can add a fried egg, bacon, or avocado to your Hot Brown. You can also use different types of cheese, such as cheddar or Gruyère.

Conclusion:

The Kentucky Hot Brown is a delicious and unique sandwich that is perfect for a quick and easy lunch or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover turkey. With its rich and creamy sauce, melted cheese, and crispy bread, the Hot Brown is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
