Kentucky Derby Hot Brown Bake Recipe
In our home, when we find a new event to celebrate we are always very excited. We love all the research and exploration of the traditions or customs behind any event we are about to celebrate for the first time.
We love the decorating and all of the creative challenges that come along with it, but one of our family's favorite parts of a new celebration is trying new foods.
It feels so adventurous to try new things, even if it is from the safety of your very own dining room!
At the same time, we often find that the original or traditional recipes can be intimidating! That is where more interpretive 'quickie' recipes come in handy.
We planned on combining a few of our favorite recipes, hoping to cross a Monte Cristo recipe with our favorite Stuffed French Toast Bake recipe.
Then we found this awesome recipe on Pinterest which seemed to do exactly that, so we gave it a try (with just a few very minor alterations) and it was exactly what we were trying to create, and it made a perfect festive treat for our Kentucky Derby Soiree.
So here's what you'll need!1 Roll of Crescent Rolls (8oz)
1lb of Turkey Breast (lunch meat)
10 Slices of cooked Bacon
8 slices of Swiss Cheese
3 Roma Tomatoes
4 Eggs (beaten)
We found all of these items at Aldi, so the prices were great!.
The grand total is $11.55 if you don't have any of the ingredients already, and there will be lots of extra ingredients left over (8 eggs, 5 tomatoes, and some bacon, turkey and swiss cheese.)
Here's how to put it all together!
Then open up the crescent rolls. I always scream when I do this. That explosion when the can bursts scares me EVERY time!
Unroll and separate the dough into two large squares. Place one square on the bottom of the pan and reserve the other square for the top(pictured above).
Layer half the ingredients and pour half of the beaten eggs over it.
Repeat and layer the remaining bacon, tomato,cheese and turkey -- then top it with the remaining dough square and pour the remaining eggs over the top of the dough.
Cover in foil and bake for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, remove foil and bake an additional 20 to 40 minutes - until the top is a lovely brown color.
Let it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes to allow it to set before cutting or serving.
Here it is plated and ready to eat!
It is sooooo delicious! We'll definitely be making this one again!
