In 1881 Henry Bain was the head waiter at the Pendennis Club in Louisville, Kentucky and he created this famous sauce. Henry Bain sauce, also known as Jezebel sauce, features delicate fruit flavors and a hint of heat.
Many Kentuckians are grateful to Miss Jennie Benedict, a Louisville caterer, for creating Benedictine spread before the turn of the century.
4 Cups Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese, grated
1/8 t Cayenne Pepper
1/8 t salt
1/8 C Minced Onion
1 Garlic Clove, minced
1/2 C Diced Roasted Red Pepper
1C Mayonnaise
1 Baguette sliced into 1/3" thick slices
Parsley Leaves
Combine all the ingredients except the baguette slices and mix well. Mixture can be made one day ahead, covered and refrigerated. When ready to cook the toasts reheat the broiler (I cooked them on low) and generously mound some of the cheese mixture on each of the bread rounds. Broil until cheese is golden and bubbly. Garnish with parsley and serve warm.

the food looks deadly and that hat is fierce!
Mint juleps are disgusting. I'm just sayin'.
