Football Friday: Hot Browns Bake

Ahh, Kentucky Hot Browns. Never heard of them? You're not alone. The first time the Wisconsin Test Kitchen heard of them, was on a Food Network Special with Bobby Flay during the Kentucky Derby. The combination of smoked turkey, Swiss cheese and bacon sounded too delicious for words.

This past week the Wisconsin Test Kitchen stumbled over a recipe for Kentucky Hot Browns Bake; and it sounded like the perfect recipe to make during football season. And lets face it... with Aaron Rodgers out for the next few weeks, and Seneca Wallace embarrassing Cheeseheads across the state- we need all the delicious comfort food we can get.

Kentucky Hot Browns Bake


8 oz package refrigerated crescent rolls
1 lb. package smoked turkey lunch meat
8 slices cooked bacon
8 slices Swiss cheese
3 Roma tomatoes, sliced thin
4 eggs, beaten

 

 Unroll the crescent dough and separate into 2 squares.

Place one square in bottom of 8" pan that is greased or lined with parchment paper.
Press dough to fit pan.
Layer with half the turkey, bacon, cheese and tomatoes.
Pour half the eggs over the top.
Repeat the layers.
Top with remaining dough square.
Pour remaining eggs over top.

Bake at 350 for 20 minutes, covered with foil. Remove foil and bake another 20-25 minutes.
Let sit at room temp for 15-20 minutes before serving.
