Originating in the Brown Hotel in Louisville Kentucky this open face sandwich makes a cheesy, melty, delicious lunch. This is one of my wifes favorite, so I'm working on perfecting this one, will update as i change things up.

The original recipe calls for Gruyere cheese, because this is not easy to find in my area i used shredded cheddar. I plan on using parmesan or a white cheddar next time i make it.
