Unlike most other sandwiches, the Hot Brown is considered an evening snack, even a late-night one. It was invented to feed a crowd tired from a night of partying. A toasted slice of bread is served with sliced leftover turkey, drizzled with Mornay cheese sauce, and topped with crispy strips of bacon.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Hot brown sandwiches with tomatoes:

Preheat the oven to broil. Fry the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, then transfer to paper towels to drain excess grease.
Meanwhile, prepare the cheese sauce.:

Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and stir with a wooden spoon to form a thick paste. Add the milk and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Add the Parmesan, reduce the heat to low, and whisk in the egg to thicken the sauce (do not bring it to a boil). Remove the sauce from the heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.

For each sandwich, place 2 slices of bread side by side in a small baking dish. Top the bread with about 100g of turkey slices and 1 or 2 tomato slices.
Pour 1/2 to 3/4 cup of the cheese sauce over the turkey and bread. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and broil until the sauce is bubbly and browned in spots, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven, top the sandwiches with 2 strips of bacon, and sprinkle with parsley and Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
