HOT BROWNS AT THE HOLLY HILL INN
Chef Ouita Michel

Mornay Sauce
Yield: 1 quart — enough for 6-8 Hot Browns

Ingredients
2 ounces butter
2 ounces flour
1 quart of milk
8 ounces white Cheddar cheese
1 tsp. dry mustard
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
Salt, white pepper and cayenne to taste

Method:
Melt the butter in a sauce pan. Whisk in the flour.
Add the milk whisking as you go.
Let the sauce simmer over a very low flame for about 10 minutes. Add the cheese, dry mustard, Worcestershire and season with salt, white pepper and cayenne

To Assemble the Hot Browns—for 4

Ingredients
1 quart of Mornay sauce
1 pound fresh roast turkey, sliced
12 slices good quality white bread, cut in half on the diagonal and toasted dry
2 tomatoes cut into wedges
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
8 strips of bacon cooked until just under crisp

Method:
In a baking dish, shingle the three pieces of toast. Dab each with a little Mornay sauce
Lay 4 ounces of turkey—or a little more if you like, over the toast and sauce with the Mornay sauce.
Cross the bacon on the sauce. Dust with grated Parmesan and bake at 350 degrees about 15 minutes until all is hot and sauce is bubbling.
Serve hot with the tomatoes on the side. We set the individual casserole dishes on a large plate lined with a doily to serve.


BUTTERMILK CHESS PIE
Makes 2- 9-inch pies we cut into 1/8s

Ingredients:
6 eggs
1 1/2 cup sugar
6 Tbsp. flour
6 Tbsp. butter, melted
3 cups buttermilk
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
Zest of one lemon -- optional

Two of your best homemade pie crusts, unbaked

Method:

Mix the eggs and sugar together until well combined - but don’t beat hard.
Stir in the flour.
Mix in the butter.
Whisk in the buttermilk.
Season with the vanilla. And sprinkle the tops with a little ground cinnamon.
Pour into the pie shells, bake at 350 degrees about 30-45 minutes until a knife comes out clean. They will still be a little soft in the middle.

We serve with whipped cream and strawberries.
