It is said that the Hot Brown sandwich came from the Brown Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky. This version, which was inspired by Evansville Living Magazine, is baked to perfection and has layers of toasted bread, turkey, bacon, tomatoes, and a creamy Parmesan sauce.
Ingredients: 8 slices white sandwich bread. 1/2 cup butter. 1/2 cup all-purpose flour. 4 cups milk. 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Salt and pepper to taste. 16 slices cooked turkey breast. 8 slices cooked bacon. 2 ripe tomatoes, sliced. Paprika for garnish.
Instructions: Start by heating the oven to 400F 200C. Toast the bread until it turns a light golden color. Melt the butter over medium-low heat in a saucepan. Add the flour and mix it in well. Cook for one to two minutes. Slowly add the milk while whisking all the time until the mixture is smooth and thick. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and mix it in until it melts and is well mixed in. Add pepper and salt to taste. Toast the bread slices and put them on a baking sheet. Put two turkey slices, one bacon slice, and two tomato slices on top of each slice. Cover the sandwiches completely with the sauce that you just made. Add paprika as a finishing touch. After the oven is hot, bake the dish for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and golden brown. Enjoy while hot!
