A Hot Brown Sandwich

2 slices of bread
placed next to 
each other
 on a metal plate.
A perfect union.
Each slice,
 covered in turkey,
and
a slice of swiss cheese.
Open faced.
I can't wait for lunch!
Then I make
a Parmesan cheese sauce
and cover each slice.
I add extra Parmesan to the tops.
It goes into a broiler,
until it is speckled brown,
and bubbly.
Then I garnish with diced 
pimientos,
and cross two
crispy bacon slices on each slice
of bread.
A Hot Brown sandwich.
Created in 1926.
By Chef Fred K. Schmidt
at the Brown Hotel.
I like cooking
and learning about food.
