Hot Kentucky Brown

Tater Tots

Method

Hot Kentucky Brown

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mornay Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and whisk for about 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk, stirring constantly until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of shredded cheese until melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On a slice of toasted white bread, layer 1 cup of sliced turkey breast. Top with another slice of toasted bread. Pour 1 cup of Mornay sauce over the top and sprinkle with additional cheese.

  3. 3

    Garnish

    Place sliced tomatoes on top of the cheese and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of chopped green onions.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the assembled sandwiches on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Tater Tots

  1. 5

    Cook the Tater Tots

    While the sandwiches are baking, prepare the tater tots according to the package instructions, either by baking or frying them until crispy and golden brown.
