Classic Hot Brown Sandwich

Begin by melting the butter in a sauce pan over medium heat. Once melted and it begins to bubble, add in the flour. Stir to mix, and continue to stir for a few minutes, until you have a nice golden brown. Just be careful not to burn it. Slowly add in the cream, and begin whisking at a slow pace. Continue to whisk until the sauce begins to thicken and the flour mixture is nice and smooth.

Remove it from the heat, add in the cheese, the nutmeg, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set this aside.

Preheat your broiler to 450 degrees F.

Into an oven proof serving plate, add the slices of bread, and lightly brush with some of the bacon fat on both sides. Place into the broiler oven for a few minutes to lightly toast, then remove the plate from the oven.

Stack two slices of bread onto two individual, oven safe plates. I used a cast iron, fajita-style plate for this sandwich. Onto each stack of bread, add the roasted turkey, then two slices of tomato, then coat the sandwich with the mornay sauce. Sprinkle with some pecorino romano cheese. Place plates back into the broiler oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is really bubbly and begins to turn brown in some areas.

Remove from the oven, top each sandwich with two slices of bacon, and shower the sandwich with chopped parsley.
