Arkansas Hot Browns

A traditional southern dish. -- this particular recipe is from my newspaper this week, and it differs from the way my mom makes it by adding ham-- i've always had it with just the turkey. And my mom substitutes cheddar cheese for the colby. It's a good, winter main dish for a cold weekend :)

Steps

Heat oven to 400 degrees.
In a heavy 4-qt saucepan , melt butter over medium heat.
Mix in flour until smooth.
Slowly add milk , stirring constantly until thickened.
Add hot sauce and parmesean cheese.
Remove from heat.
Place 1 / 2 cup of sauce in a small bowl.
Set remaining sauce aside.
Combine egg yolks with 1 / 2 cup of sauce , mixing well.
Stir egg mixture back into reserved sauce and return to heat , stirring constantly.
Add colby& american cheeses.
Stir until melted.
Remove from heat.
Place bread slices on individual heat-resistant plates.
Cover bread with slices of chicken or turkey and ham.
Cover each serving with some of the sauce and top with a tomato slice and two pieces of the bacon.
Sprinkle with paprika.
Bake 10 to 15 minutes or until bubbly.
