Recipe Introduction


HOT BROWN SANDWICH (Famous Horserace Cookbook)
The Hot Brown was created at the Brown Hotel in Louisville in the early 1900's by Chef Fred Schmidt. It is still served year-round in many restaurants in Kentucky.



List of Ingredients





4 oz. Butter
Flour to make a Roux (about 6 tablespoons)
3 – 3 ½ cups Milk
1 Beaten Egg
6 tablespoons Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 oz. Whipped Cream (optional)
Salt and Pepper to Taste
Slices of Roast Turkey
8-12 Slices of Toast (may be trimmed)
Extra Parmesan for Topping
8-12 Strips of Fried Bacon


Recipe




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 whipped 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.
This is the genuine recipe from the Brown Hotel in Louisville.
