Ingredients
- 6 slices Bread, white or honey wheat
- 1 pound Deli turkey
- 1 Large Beefsteak tomato, sliced
- 1 pound Bacon
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 2 tbsp Flour
- 2 cups Milk
- 1/4 tsp Sea salt
- 1/2 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Chives, chopped
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly shredded
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375℉.
- Cook the bacon on a sheet pan in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until crispy. When bacon is done, remove from the sheet pan to a paper towel lined plate.
- Melt the butter over medium heat in a 2 quart saucepan.
- Once butter is melted, add the flour and stir continuously for 3-4 minutes.
- Slowly add the milk, whisking continuously for 5-10 minutes until thickened. While the mornay sauce is thickening, add the sea salt, black pepper, and chives.
- Once the sauce has thickened, remove from the heat and whisk in 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese. Set aside.
- Preheat the broiler to high.
- Place 6 slices of bread on a sheet pan.
- Add turkey and tomato slices on top of the bread slices.
- Pour the mornay sauce over each, smothering the tomato and turkey.
- Sprinkle the second 1/2 cup of parmesan on top of the mornay.
- Broil for 3-4 minutes, or until the top of each hot brown is melty and bubbly.
- Remove from the broiler and top with the bacon.
- Serve immediately.
