Invented at the Brown Hotel in Louisville, the Hot Brown is now a Louisville tradition. This is the Brown Hotel's original recipe.
Ingredients
- 4 oz. butter shopping list
- 4 oz. flour shopping list
- 3 1/2 cups milk shopping list
- 1 beaten egg shopping list
- 6 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese shopping list
- 1 oz. cream shopping list
- salt and pepper to taste shopping list
- slices of roast turkey shopping list
- 8 slices of toast (may be trimmed) shopping list
- extra parmesan for topping shopping list
- 8 strips of fried bacon shopping list
How to make it
- Melt butter and add enough flour to make a reasonably thick roux (enough to absorb all of the butter). Add milk and Parmesan cheese. Add egg to thicken sauce, but do not allow sauce to boil. Remove from heat. Fold in cream. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- For each Hot Brown, place two slices of toast on a metal (or flameproof) dish. Cover the toast with a liberal amount of turkey. Pour a generous amount of sauce over the turkey and toast. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese. Place entire dish under a broiler until the sauce is speckled brown and bubbly. Remove from broiler, cross two pieces of bacon on top, and serve immediately.
