Louisville Hot Brown image

This comes from my new cookbook Best of the Best from Kentucky. I made it for lunch today, and it was so good. I understand it's a fairly famous dish in Kentucky and that this is a simpler version than the usual two sauce one. I don't know about that, I just know I enjoyed it!

4 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, chopped
3 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk

1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
8 slices toast

Steps:

  • Saute onion in butter until transparent, add flour and cook stirring for 1 minute.

  • Cook on medium heat until sauce thickens, stirring occasionally.
  • Add cheeses and continue heating until they blend.

  • Ladle cheese sauce over sandwiches.
  • Place sandwiches under broiler until sauce begins to bubble.
