KENTUCKY HOT BROWNS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Rub entire breast with butter and season with salt and pepper. Place in a small roasting pan and roast for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F and continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 155 degrees F, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven, loosely tent with foil and let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
• Melt butter over medium heat in a medium saucepan. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Whisk in the milk, bring to a boil and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened and the flour has cooked out, about 4 to 5 minutes. Whisk in cheese and cook until the cheese has melted. Season with nutmeg and salt and pepper, to taste.
• Whisk together the eggs, milk and salt in a medium bowl. Dip each slice of bread in the mixture and let sit about 30 seconds, or until completely soaked through.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of oil in a large nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat. Cook 4 slices of the bread at a time until golden brown on both sides. Remove and place on a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining bread.
• For assembly:
• Preheat broiler. Place the egg bread on a baking sheet, place under the broiler and heat on both sides for 20 seconds just to warm through.
• Top each slice of bread with 2 to 3 slices of turkey and 2 slices of tomato, ladle sauce over the top and divide the cheddar cheese and Parmesan over the top of each slice.

Steps:

• Ladle 3 ounces of the Mornay Sauce in the center of an oven-proof dinner plate. Place the turkey on top of the sauce, and cover with the remaining 3 ounces of Mornay Sauce. Garnish with toast points at four corners of the plate, meeting the edge of the sauce. Sprinkle with the cheese to cover the sauce and lay the bacon as an "X" across the top in the middle.
• Place in the oven until hot and bubbling, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and place the tomato slices between the toast points. Sprinkle with the paprika and chopped parsley and serve.
• In a large saute pan set over medium-low heat, melt the butter and add the onions, saute until translucent. Slowly add the flour and continue to cook, being careful not to thicken it too much. Once the mixture reaches a very light golden brown, remove from the heat and set aside until ready to add to the sauce.
• In a separate large saucepan set over low heat, add the milk, broth, mustard, Worcestershire, stock, poultry seasoning, garlic salt, nutmeg, white pepper and bay leaf. Cook until the mixture comes to a gentle simmer. Add the roux slowly, one spoonful at a time, while whisking continually until you achieve the desired consistency.
• In separate container, add 1/2 to 3/4 cup water to the cornstarch to make a slurry. Add the slurry to the sauce mixture and whisk. Add the cheese mix and the Parmesan to the sauce and stir until smooth and thick.

Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper.
• For each Hot Brown, place 2 bread slices side by side in a small flameproof baking dish. Cover the bread with about 1/4 pound turkey and place 1 or 2 tomato slices alongside. Pour 1/2 to 3/4 cup cheese sauce over the turkey and bread. Sprinkle with more parmesan and broil until the sauce is bubbly and speckled brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the broiler, cross 2 strips of bacon on top and sprinkle with parsley and more parmesan. Serve immediately.

HOT BROWN

Steps:

• Prepare the sandwich: Heat oven to 400 degrees. Cut 4 bread slices in half diagonally. Divide the remaining 4 whole slices among four individual 7-by-9-inch (or other similarly sized) baking dishes (see Tip), and place 2 pieces of halved bread on opposite sides of the bread, positioning the longest side of each triangle closest to the whole slice of bread. The formation will look like a two-way arrow. Nestle a piece of tomato on either side of the whole slices of bread, forming a square shape with the bread triangles. Divide the turkey slices among the whole slices of bread. Transfer the casseroles to the oven to toast as you prepare the sauce.
• Prepare the Mornay sauce: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour until mixture forms a roux. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking frequently, 2 minutes. Whisk heavy cream and milk into the roux and cook over medium until the sauce begins to simmer and thicken, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Remove the sauce from the heat and whisk in 1/2 cup Pecorino Romano until the sauce is smooth. Add nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste.
• Remove the dishes from the oven and pour the Mornay sauce over each, smothering the meat, bread and tomatoes.
• Sprinkle additional Pecorino Romano on top of each dish and broil until the cheese begins to brown and bubble, 4 to 5 minutes, working in batches, if necessary.
