Kentucky Hot Browns
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 T. flour
2 C. milk
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. white pepper
1/4 C. shredded Cheddar cheese
1/4 C. shredded Parmesan cheese
4 slices toast, crusts cut off
4 slices toast, cut into triangles
Thin slices of cooked turkey
Thin slices of cooked honey or sugar-cured ham
Crisp fried bacon, crumbled
Sautéed mushroom slices
Tomato slices
Melt butter in a non-stick skillet, add onions, and sauté until transparent. Sprinkle in flour, stirring to mix well. Add milk, salt, and pepper, and whisk until smooth. Cook over medium heat until sauce thickens, stirring frequently. Add cheeses and continue beating until blended and smooth. Remove from heat. Put one slice of toast in each of four oven-proof individual serving dishes. Top each piece of toast with turkey slices and ham slices. Place the toast triangles on the sides of the sandwiches. Ladle cheese sauce over the sandwiches. Place under broiler until sauce begins to bubble. Top with crumbled bacon and sautéed mushrooms. Garnish with tomato slices, if desired. Serve immediately.
