Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the flour and whisk until combined. Cook, whisking, until a light golden roux comes together, about 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the cream and cook, stirring often, for 2 to 3 minutes, just until the mixture comes to a simmer, then remove from the heat. Whisk in 1\/4 cup of the cheese, the nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Toast the bread under the broiler for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until browned to your liking. Place each toasted bread slice in the bottom of an individual ovenproof dish. Top each piece of toast with 4 slices of turkey. Spoon a scant 1\/2 cup sauce over each and evenly sprinkle the\u00a0remaining cheese on top. Place under the broiler and broil until lightly browned and bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with the tomatoes and bacon. Place a toothpick or skewer in each of 4 quadrants of each sandwich, then cut in between them to create 4 squares. Sprinkle with parsley, a light dusting of paprika, and a little extra salt and pepper and serve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kentucky Hot Browns Finger Sandwiches &nbsp; 2 T. unsalted butter 2 T. all-purpose flour 2 cups heavy cream 1\/2 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg 1 tsp. kosher salt 1\/2 tsp. finely ground black pepper 4 thick-cut slices Texas Toast, crusts removed, toasted 16 slices roasted turkey 4 Roma tomatoes, cored and chopped 8 cooked thick-cut bacon slices, chopped Chopped fresh parsley Paprika &nbsp; Preheat the broiler.
