For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a dash of nutmeg to the Mornay sauce. If you don't have individual oven-safe dishes, you can assemble the Hot Browns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Feel free to substitute Gruyere or Pecorino Romano cheese for the Parmesan, depending on your preference. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the Mornay sauce.
