Kentucky Hot Brown Sandwich Bites

April 20, 2021 by My Farmhouse Table 2 Comments

Kentucky Hot Brown Sandwich Bites

I planned on posting this delicious appetizer a year ago for the Kentucky Derby. Since the derby was postponed because of COVID, I decided to hold off sharing as well. Now, since the world is returning a bit more to normal, the derby is back! Whether or not you are planning the ultimate derby party or just looking for a fresh meal idea, these Kentucky Hot Brown Sandwich Bites are sure to fit the bill.

The Hot Brown Sandwich was made famous back almost a century ago when, according to its inventor The Brown Hotel in Louisville, their famous dance parties started going late into the night (and morning), the guests needed a bite to eat. Soaking up their cocktails and giving a little extra nourishment to see them through the evening, their chef created an open-face turkey sandwich topped with bacon and a creamy cheese sauce.

I mean what’s not to love about a sandwich like that.

Bacon AND cheese sauce?

Count me in!

My creation makes this recipe a bit more acceptable to eat without the help of a fork and knife.

Scaling it down and putting all of the ingredients of a hot brown sandwich into bite sized form.

Small circles of puff pastry get cut and formed into mini muffin tins.

Bake until partially cooked and just starting to brown.

Add in deli sliced pieces of turkey, a dollop of homemade cheese sauce, and bacon bits. Heat in the oven a couple more minutes.

Top with some diced tomato and chopped parsley.

Ingredients

Cheese Sauce

  • 1 Tbsp Butter
  • 2 tsp Flour
  • 6 Tbsp Milk
  • 2 Tbsp Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste

Hot Brown Bites

  • 1 Puff Pastry Sheet, thawed
  • 4 oz Deli Sliced Turkey, cut into 1-2 inch squares
  • Cooked Bacon Slices, crumbled
  • Diced Fresh Tomato
  • Chopped Parsley

Instructions

Cheese Sauce

  1. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook, whisking constantly, for about 1 minute.

  2. Gradually whisk in the milk. Bring to a boil, whisking constantly, for 1-2 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.

  3. Stir in the cheddar cheese until melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Hot Brown Bites

  1. Using a 2 inch biscuit cutter, cut the puff pastry dough into circles. Press each circle into greased mini muffin tin cup. (If you pull together the scrap dough, roll, and re-cut, I've been able to get about 24 circles from one puff pastry sheet. If you don't want to re-form the dough, I suggest using a second piece of puff pastry).

  2. Bake tins at 400°F for about 7 minutes or until pastry is partially baked.

  3. Remove from oven and using the back of a measuring spoon gently press down the center of each pastry to create a small cup.

  4. Fill each cup with the pieces of deli turkey, before topping with cheese sauce.

  5. Add the crumbled pieces of bacon over the top.

  6. Return to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the cheese sauce is bubbling.

  7. Garnish with finely diced tomato and chopped parsley.

    Can this be cooked ahead of time and reheated?

      Hi Marcie, it really is best made day of, but that being said I have reheated in the oven. It is not as good or as pretty, but should work in a pinch.

A friend recommended ‘The Cheat Sheet’ by @aut A friend recommended ‘The Cheat Sheet’ by @authorsarahadams to me this past week and let me say it was the perfect pre- Super Bowl and Valentine’s Day read that I couldn’t put down and ended up finishing in a day.

I don’t know if I’ve read a book where I caught myself smiling from cover to cover.

It was sweet (almost cavity inducing), WITTY, deliciously flirty, hard to put down, charming, with great comedic timing, and sexy! 

It’s a friends to lovers and fake dating tropes that is right up any Hallmark lover’s alley with a side helping of NFL. 

I found myself laughing out loud, cheering from the sidelines, and BLUSHING 😊. A touchdown in my book! 🏈

I’ve been a fan of Fr. Mike Schmitz and his podc I’ve been a fan of Fr. Mike Schmitz and his podcasts (Bible in a Year) for a while, but I found this quote of his the other day and it was as though I had been hit over the head with a wooden spoon. 

How often are we happy in life just to survive? I get it life is ROUGH- survival mode is sometimes all we can handle in a season, but after I read this quote I thought to myself- am I living too small of a story? Sometimes yes, I get stuck in my routines. The edges, things that push me, things that scare me- it’s uncomfortable. I doubt myself and what I’m capable of… but He doesn’t.  I’m going to cling to that truth as I continue to grow my own story. ❤️

A lot like life, right?

Well, there’s one thing I’ve learned you can never grow if you don’t plant the seeds. So as we kick off a new year here’s your sign to plant the seeds in the areas of your life you want to see grow.

Faith. Relationships. Yourself. 

Sure you may fail more then you succeed, but you’ll never know if you don’t even start. ❤️ 

Thanks for sticking around for my unqualified TED talk 😜

As much as I dislike the idea of not going out into my garden every few days to pick these stunners for bouquets to fill my vases and jars, I am happy to say goodbye to weeding, watering, and that big spider in the cosmo patch that we mutually agreed to stay out of each others way and we both will be fine 😜

Also… shoutout to one of my favorite new finds on Insta… @philipbowenmusic on the strings (seriously this dude is super talented!)

I’ve enjoyed going through this experience with her, including random texts and Snapchats of hormonal cries, nesting episodes, and of course, food cravings- which is how the baby earned the nickname of “Scoops”.
