Hot Brown Sandwich

Parmesan Herb Fries

Method

Hot Brown Sandwich Preparation

  1. 1

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). On a slice of panini bread, layer the sliced turkey evenly. Add the sliced tomato over the turkey, followed by the crumbled bacon.

  2. 2

    Add Mornay Sauce

    Pour the mornay sauce generously over the layered sandwich, ensuring it covers all the ingredients evenly.

  3. 3

    Top with Parmesan Cheese

    Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the mornay sauce.

  4. 4

    Bake the Sandwich

    Place the assembled sandwich on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

Parmesan Herb Fries Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Fries

    While the sandwich is baking, prepare the fries according to the package instructions. Typically, this involves preheating your oven to the temperature indicated on the fries packaging.

  2. 6

    Season the Fries

    In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked fries, olive oil, dried Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Toss until the fries are well-coated.

  3. 7

    Bake the Fries

    Spread the seasoned fries on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 15-20 minutes until they are crispy and golden brown.

  4. 8

    Add Parmesan

    In the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the fries and return to the oven until melted.
