Treat your ingredients with care...
- Turkey — For a juicier and more flavorful turkey, marinate the slices in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs for a few hours before roasting.
- Gruyere cheese — Opt for aged Gruyere for a stronger and nuttier flavor in the sauce.
- Parmesan cheese — Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best taste and texture.
- Nutmeg — Grate whole nutmeg for a more aromatic and intense flavor.
- Bacon — Choose thick-cut bacon for a crispier texture.
Tips & Tricks
- For a smoky twist, try using smoked Gruyere cheese.
- Add a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the Mornay sauce for an extra depth of flavor.
- Serve the Hot Brown Delight with a side of mixed greens or a fresh tomato salad.
- Customize the dish by adding sliced avocado or roasted red peppers.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, sprinkle some cayenne pepper or paprika on top before broiling.
Serving advice
Serve the Hot Brown Delight as a main course for lunch or dinner. Accompany it with a side salad or roasted vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal.
