These hors d’oeuvres are a homage to Louisville’s most famous culinary creation. Hailing from the city’s Brown Hotel and dating back to 1926, the traditional Hot Brown is an open-face turkey and bacon sandwich topped with cheese sauce and broiled until the bread is crisp and the sauce is puffed and lightly browned. It’s a meal unto itself, but mine are smaller and in an easy-to-make black pepper and turmeric-spiced pastry.
Even though the Kentucky Derby was postponed this year, I made these Hot Brown Bites on the first Saturday in May to celebrate. This update on the iconic hot brown might be more delicious than the original. The addition of turmeric and pepper to the pastry, and the jalapenos in the cheese filling were so good! The recipe works as written and is super easy if you follow the instructions. Too good to eat only for the Derby!
