Some Hot Browns also include ham with the turkey, and either [[pimento]]s or [[tomato]]es over the sauce,<ref>{{cite book|publisher=Writer's Digest Books|title=Writer's Guide to Places|authors=Don Prues and Jack Heffron|page=129|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=NJLOxRaUGF0C&pg=PA129|year=2003|isbn=1582971692}}</ref> and imitation Hot Browns sometimes substitute a commercial cheese sauce instead of the Mornay.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://eatathomecooks.com/2012/09/kentucky-hot-brown-bake/|title=Kentucky Hot Brown Bake|date=September 27, 2012|author=Tiffany Home|publisher=Eat At Home Cooks}}</ref>
When Fred K. Schmidt created the Hot Brown, its sliced roast turkey was a rarity, as turkey was usually reserved for holiday feasts. The original Hot Brown included the sliced turkey on an open-faced [[white bread|white]] [[Toast (food)|toast]] sandwich, with Mornay sauce covering it, with a sprinkling of [[Parmesan cheese]], completed by being oven-[[broil]]ed until bubbly. Pimento and bacon strips were then added to it. After its debut, it quickly became the choice of 95% of the Brown Hotel's restaurant customers.<ref name="Kleber I pg.443"/><ref name="Kleber II pg.404" />
The dish is a local specialty and favorite of the Louisville area, and is popular throughout Kentucky. It was long unavailable at its point of origin, as the Brown Hotel was shuttered from 1971 to 1985.<ref name="Kleber I pg.443"/>
