Hosting a Kentucky Derby Party this year? You can’t find an appetizer more perfect for the Derby than Hot Brown Fondue. The Hot Brown Sandwich is a Louisville legacy, first served at the Brown Hotel in the 1920s. It’s an open-faced sandwich served hot and consists of turkey, bacon, and Mornay sauce.
This Hot Brown Fondue consists of a cheesy sauce with lots of chopped turkey and bacon. Serve it with toast points for dipping and you have the flavor of a Hot Brown Sandwich in a form that is easier to serve for a party.
Three types of cheese go into this fondue: cheddar, swiss, and Parmesan. Mixed into the cheese is lots of finely chopped turkey (you could use chicken in a pinch), bacon, and green onion plus some chopped tomatoes on top.
Hot Brown Fondue is a great way to use up leftover turkey, but if I don’t have any, I just use a rotisserie chicken.
