My failure of a Hot Brown
My neck of the woods is Louisville, KY. Home of horse racing, Bourbon, mint juleps, and the Hot Brown.
I started the day wit a tad bit if a hangover from yesterdays activities. Me and the family took a lil road trip to "The Jim Beam Classic" in Springfield, KY.
While taking in the sights I enjoyed the following beverage.
It turned out to be a great day, weather was perfect, BBQ was good, music was ok, and the family had fun. Me and Mr. Mark had a great time.
So to say the least I was not up to par this morning for my first td and pron post on The Brethren. But I am gonna try anyway. We learn from our mistakes. Right?
So what I attempted was a Kentucky/Louisville
Hot Brown. It depends on whether you live in Louisville or somewhere else in Kentucky what the name of it is. Wiki defines the Hot Brown as an open-faced
sandwich of
turkey and
bacon, covered in
Mornay sauce and baked or broiled until the
bread is crisp and the sauce begins to brown.
So lets give it a try:
Or supporting cast sliced turkey breast, Gruyere cheese, Parmesan, bacon, Texas Toast, and the tomatoes are not included in this pic.
This is our broiler for the cook.

Assembly
Please use the above pic for the TD challenge.
If you look closely the turkey is missing, I forgot to add it during the assembly. So between the affects of yesterday's fun and this lil man popping out of the door every 10 mins wondering what daddy is doing outside with a cam and food.
Now look at him. This what a hot brown will do to you.
It was a very good sandwich without the turkey, tasted like a high class grilled cheese. I have never been to The Brown Hotel to eat the original but it is on my bucket list.
So here goes my first pron post and first TD post.
Thanks for looking.
