A Hot Brown Sandwich (sometimes known as a Kentucky Hot Brown) is a variation on the traditional Welsh rarebit. The Hot Brown was created at the Brown Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky, by Fred K. Schmidt in 1926. Inspired by the name, we chose brown ale for the mornay sauce.
The sandwich uses slices of a Pullman Loaf, which is bread baked in a lidded bread pan with straight sides. If you can’t find a Pullman Loaf, substitute Texas toast.
