Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Place the egg bread on a baking sheet, place under the broiler, and heat on both sides for 20 seconds just to warm through.
• Top each slice of bread with 2 to 3 slices of turkey, ladle sauce over the top, and divide the Cheddar and Parmesan over the top of each slice. Place under the broiler and cook until bubbly and the top is golden brown. Remove from the oven and top each slice with 2 slices tomato and 2 slices of bacon. Sprinkle each slice with parsley and serve immediately, 2 open-face sandwiches per person.
• 4 large eggs
• 1/4 cup milk
• Salt
• 8 (1/2-inch thick) slices 1 day-old white bread, such as Pullman or Pain de mie
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
• Whisk together the eggs, milk, and salt in a medium bowl. Dip each slice of bread in the mixture and let sit about 30 seconds, or until completely soaked through.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of oil in a large nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat. Cook 4 slices of the bread at a time until golden brown on both sides. Remove and place on a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining butter, oil, and bread.
• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons bourbon
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 (4 to 5-pound) turkey breast
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Whisk together syrup, mustard, and bourbon in a small bowl and season with salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper. Set glaze aside.
• Rub entire turkey breast with butter and season with salt and pepper. Place in a small roasting pan and roast for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F and continue roasting until a thermometer inserted into the center registers 155 degrees F, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. During the last 15 minutes of roasting, brush the breast with the glaze. Remove from the oven, loosely tent with foil and let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 1/2 cups whole milk
• 3/4 cup grated sharp white Cheddar
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
• Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• Melt butter over medium heat in a medium saucepan. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Whisk in the milk, bring to a boil and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened and the flour has cooked out, about 4 to 5 minutes. Whisk in cheese and cook until melted. Season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper, to taste.

Steps:

• Melt butter and add enough flour to make a reasonably thick roux (enough to absorb all of the butter). Add milk and 6 tablespoons Parmesan. Add egg to thicken sauce, but do not allow to boil.
• Remove from heat. Fold in whipped cream. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• For each Hot Brown, place 2 slices of toast on a metal (or flameproof) dish. Cover the toast with mushrooms and thinly sliced tomatoes, then cover with a liberal amount of turkey. Pour a generous amount of sauce over the turkey and toast. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan. Place entire dish under a broiler until the sauce is speckled brown and bubbly. Remove from broiler, cross 2 pieces of bacon on top and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Rub entire breast with butter and season with salt and pepper. Place in a small roasting pan and roast for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F and continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 155 degrees F, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven, loosely tent with foil and let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
• Melt butter over medium heat in a medium saucepan. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Whisk in the milk, bring to a boil and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened and the flour has cooked out, about 4 to 5 minutes. Whisk in cheese and cook until the cheese has melted. Season with nutmeg and salt and pepper, to taste.
• Whisk together the eggs, milk and salt in a medium bowl. Dip each slice of bread in the mixture and let sit about 30 seconds, or until completely soaked through.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of oil in a large nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat. Cook 4 slices of the bread at a time until golden brown on both sides. Remove and place on a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining bread.
• For assembly:
• Preheat broiler. Place the egg bread on a baking sheet, place under the broiler and heat on both sides for 20 seconds just to warm through.
• Top each slice of bread with 2 to 3 slices of turkey and 2 slices of tomato, ladle sauce over the top and divide the cheddar cheese and Parmesan over the top of each slice. Place under the broiler and cook until bubbly and the top is golden brown. Remove from the oven, top each slice with 2 slices of bacon and sprinkle each slice with chives and parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Rub the turkey with 2 teaspoons vegetable oil; sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet and roast until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 160 degrees F, 45 to 55 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest 15 minutes before chopping; the internal temperature will rise to 165 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, place the bacon on a baking sheet and bake until crisp, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 250 degrees F. Coat the tomatoes with the remaining 2 teaspoons vegetable oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the tomatoes cut-side up on a separate parchment-lined baking sheet and bake until they start to dehydrate and wrinkle, about 45 minutes.
• While the tomatoes are cooking, start the Mornay sauce: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat. When the butter is melted, add the flour and stir continuously so the roux doesn't scorch, about 2 minutes. When the milk starts to simmer, slowly add it to the roux, stirring continuously so lumps don't form. Increase the heat and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the cheddar and roasted peppers and stir until smooth. Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper.
• Preheat the broiler. Distribute the bread cubes evenly among four 6-inch cast-iron gratin pans (or use disposable pie plates or other small pans). Cut the turkey into 1/2-inch pieces; discard the skin and bones. Divide the turkey evenly among the pans. Spoon the Mornay sauce over the turkey, then top with the tomatoes. Sprinkle with the parmesan and bacon and broil until golden and bubbling, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a small saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour until smooth; gradually stir in milk and bouillon. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat; set aside., Place toast on a baking pan. Top each with 2 slices turkey; spoon sauce over turkey. Top each with cheese and tomato. Bake, uncovered, until lightly browned, 25-30 minutes. Sprinkle with bacon.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Lay the bacon out on parchment lined, rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle each slice with a thin, even layer of brown sugar. Bake until the bacon is beginning to brown and crisp, but is not completely done, about 8 to 10 minutes. It will continue to cook with the hot browns. Remove from oven and set aside.
• Toast the bread in a toaster, until lightly browned. Cut each piece of toast diagonally into triangles and overlap 3 triangles into each of 4 individual oval-shaped baking dishes. Alternatively, hot browns can be assembled and baked on ovenproof dinner plates.
• Mornay Sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the butter and cook until the bubbling begins to diminish, indicating that the water in the butter is evaporating. Add the flour and stir with a wooden spoon to form a roux, cooking and stirring constantly for 2 to 3 minutes, being careful not to let the roux brown. Add the milk all at once, and continue to stir with a wooden spoon or whisk, while bringing mixture to a simmer.
• Continue to cook until smooth and thick, using a whisk to break up any lumps that form. Turn off the heat and add the Cheddar and Swiss cheeses, stirring until melted and combined. The cheese will thicken the sauce, so additional milk may be added, if desired. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Cover the toast in each baking dish with about 1/4 cup of sauce. Then top with a layer of roasted turkey. Cover the turkey with additional sauce and put 2 strips of the bacon on top in a crisscross fashion. Sprinkle each dish with about 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan and bake until bubbly, about 10 minutes.
• While the hot browns are baking, combine all the ingredients for dressed tomatoes in a medium-size bowl and toss to combine.
• During the last 2 to 3 minutes of baking, turn on the broiler to brown the tops of the hot browns. Remove from oven and serve hot, with a small dish of tomatoes on the side or piled atop the hot browns, if desired.

Steps:

• Oil or butter a deep 9- or 10-inch baking dish.
• Slice the bread about ½-inch thick; arrange 3 equal alternating layers of the bread, turkey, bacon, tomato, and cheese in the baking dish.
• Cut or tear the bread slices if needed to make snug layers.
• In a bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk, sage, salt, and cayenne.
• Pour the liquid mixture over the bread mixture.
• Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours to overnight.
• Remove the strata from the refrigerator 20-30 minutes before you plan to bake it.
• Preheat oven to 350°; bake the strata for 50-55 minutes until puffed, golden brown, and lightly set in the center; serve hot.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt butter.
• Gradually add flour, stirring constantly, until smooth and free from lumps.
• Gradually stir in milk until sauce comes to a gentle boil, stirring constantly; remove from heat.
• Add Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and well blended.
• In a small bowl, beat egg.
• Gradually add 1 cup of hot cheese sauce, 1/3 cup at a time, to the egg, stirring constantly.
• Gradually add egg mixture to remaining sauce, stirring constantly until well blended; add salt and pepper to taste.
• Fold in whipped cream.
• For each Hot Brown sandwich, place two slices of toasted bread on a metal (or flameproof) dish.
• Cover the toast with a liberal amount of turkey.
• Pour a generous amount of sauce over the turkey.
• Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese.
• Place entire dish under a broiler until the sauce is speckled brown and bubbly.
• Remove from broiler, sprinkle with diced pimientos, cross two pieces of bacon over the top, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat butter over medium heat. Add flour and whisk, slowly cooking for about 4-5 minutes. Whisk in cram and milk and continue to heat. Whisk in cheese, slowly, until melted. SEason with salt and pepper. Simmer for about half an hour (sauce will be thick).
• Quarter the toast and place in 6" ramekins, or any oven-safe dish. Top with turkey and tomatoes. Cover with the sauce (be generous, it's good!). Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes or so.
• Garnish with bacon slices and serve hot.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion; sauté until tender.
• Add flour, garlic salt, and hot sauce; cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
• Gradually stir in milk; cook until thickened and bubbly.
• Reduce heat; stir in cheese until melted. Add ham and turkey; cook, stirring occasionally, until heated, about 20 minutes. (Do not boil.).
• Serve with toppings.
• NOTE: When you have a hot brown sandwich, it is layered with ham and turkey slices, a couple of slices of bacon, a tomato, and totally smothered in cheese sauce. So if you want the "hot brown" experience, top the soup with the tomato, bacon, and a sprinkle of parsley. It is delicious! Also, the 30 minutes it takes goes rather fast since the meat is already cooked. It's mostly just getting everything hot and making the cheese soup.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
• Melt butter in a skillet and then stir in flour.
• Gradually add milk and bouillon; cook until thickened.
• Add cheese and stir until cheese is melted; remove from heat.
• Put toast in flat baking dish and then put turkey and ham on toast.
• Spoon cheese sauce over meat and bake for 10 minutes.
• Top with bacon and tomato slices; bake 5 minutes more.
• Sprinkle with Parmesan and paprika before serving.
