HOT BROWN PANINI

Hot Brown Panini image

From SoutherLiving.com If you don't have a panini press, just use a cast iron pan or a George Forman grill. I often, use sliced cheese and sliced chicken (the kind from the deli) I like that this recipe easily divided or multiplies based on how many you need it to serve. Make the cheese sauce first. Prep time and cook time will be based on how many you serve - as posted this makes 8.

ORIGINAL HOT BROWN

Original Hot Brown image

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.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

½ cup butter
½ cup all-purpose flour
3 cups milk
6 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons heavy cream
salt and pepper to taste
2 pounds sliced roasted turkey
1 tomato, thinly sliced
8 slices white bread, toasted
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
8 slices crispy bacon

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.

KENTUCKY HOT BROWN SLIDERS

Kentucky Hot Brown Sliders image

These hot brown sliders are perfect for Kentucky Derby parties, although I serve them at our parties throughout the year. A traditional hot brown is an open-faced sandwich, which isn't great for parties, but turning them into sliders makes them finger food-friendly. I like to cover and refrigerate my assembled sandwiches so I can just pop them in the oven when company arrives. - Blair Lonergan, Rochelle, Virginia
