ORIGINAL HOT BROWN
This recipe originally came from the Brown Hotel in Louisville, KY. I have altered it based on how I have had it served in restaurants in Louisville. This is a good way to use leftover turkey from Thanksgiving and my husband looks forward to it every year.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour with a whisk or fork, and continue to cook and stir until it begins to brown slightly. Gradually whisk in the milk so that no lumps form, then bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Mix in 6 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese and then stir in the beaten egg to thicken. Do not allow the sauce to boil once the egg has been mixed in. Remove from the heat and stir in the cream.
- Preheat the oven's broiler. For each hot brown, place two slices of toast into the bottom of an individual sized casserole dish. Cover with a liberal amount of roasted turkey and tomato slices. Spoon sauce over the top of each one and sprinkle with some of the remaining Parmesan cheese.
- Place the dishes under the broiler and cook until the top is speckled brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from the broiler and arrange two slices of bacon in a cross shape on top of each sandwich. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh, ripe vegetables, high-quality cheese, and flavorful bread.
- Don't skimp on the sauce. The sauce is what brings the hot brown together, so make sure you use a good one. A classic Mornay sauce is always a good choice, but you can also try other variations, such as a cheese sauce or a tomato sauce.
- Cook the turkey or chicken until it is cooked through. This will help to prevent the sandwich from becoming dry.
- Broil the sandwich until the cheese is melted and golden brown. This will give the sandwich a delicious, crispy crust.
- Serve the sandwich immediately. The hot brown is best enjoyed when it is hot and fresh out of the oven.
Conclusion:
The hot brown is a delicious and unique sandwich that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a new sandwich to try, give the hot brown a try. You won't be disappointed.
