Kentucky Hot Brown Bake

By Lsweetnell

serves six. Suggest puff pastry instead of refrigerated crescent rolls for better quality. Watch that the bottom doesn't burn like th eone in the pic...

Ingredients

• 8 oz. pkg. refrigerated crescent rolls
• 1 lb. pkg. smoked turkey lunch meat
• 8 slices cooked bacon
• 8 slices of Swiss cheese (or grate about 8 ounces of block cheese)
• 3 Roma tomatoes, sliced thin
• 4 eggs, beaten

Preparation

Step 1

Unroll the crescent dough and separate into 2 squares. Place one square in bottom of an 8-inch-square pan that is greased or lined with parchment paper. Press dough to fit pan. Layer with half the turkey and cheese and all the bacon and tomatoes. Pour half the eggs over the top. Layer the remaining turkey and cheese on top.

Top with remaining dough square. Cover with remaining beaten eggs.

Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 20 to 25 minutes. Let set at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before cutting and serving.

Notes:
The recipe says it serves 9. It doesn't feed 9 of my husband. I would say it would feed 4 to 5 people.
The original recipe said to use half the bacon and half the tomatoes in the first layer. However, the 8 slices of bacon covered the whole 8-inch square nicely. Had I just used 4 strips, I think there could have been "pockets" without bacon in the cooked sandwich. The same was true for the tomatoes. You could increase the amounts of the bacon and tomato if you truly want to have a double layer of filling.
