HOT BROWN
On any given day in the 1920s, more than 1,200 people would dance the night away at Louisville's Brown Hotel. When the fun wrapped up in the wee hours, the partiers would be ravenous, so hotel chef Fred Schmidt created this spin on ham and eggs: an open-face turkey sandwich with bacon and a Mornay sauce. The hotel still serves the dish, but if you can't get there, try this variation on it. We crumbled the bacon so you get a bit in each bite!

Steps:
- Preheat the broiler. Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Pour out all but about 1 tablespoon fat from the skillet.
- Make the sauce: Add the onion to the skillet and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring, 1 more minute. Increase the heat to medium high, add the milk and chicken broth and bring to a boil, stirring. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, stirring, until slightly thickened, about 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 cup cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
- Arrange the bread on a baking sheet. Spread each slice with mustard, then drizzle with some of the sauce and top with the tomato. Add the turkey to the skillet with the remaining sauce and toss to coat. Divide the turkey among the bread, then sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup cheese. Broil until golden, about 2 minutes.
- Crumble the bacon over the sandwiches. Sprinkle with the parsley.

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.
