- 8 large eggs
- 2 green onions, chopped (including white and green parts)
- 2 tablespoons butter
-
Optional addition
- 1⁄2 cup of diced cooked bacon or 1/2 cup ham

Sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 3⁄4 cups milk
- 1⁄2 cup grated cheddar cheese
- salt and pepper (optional)

Topping
- 1 piece white bread
- 1 tablespoon butter
directions
- Make sauce first. Can be made in the microwave if you wish.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in saucepan and add the flour.
- Whisk together till smooth, and fry gently for a few minutes which will remove the raw taste of the flour. Do not brown the roux.
- Add the milk while whisking to avoid lumps, and cook the mixture till thickened. This will make a thin sauce.
- Off heat, add the grated cheese, and whisk till it melts.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Beat the eggs in a bowl to combine.
- Saute the green onion in 2 tablespoons butter to soften.
- Add beaten eggs and bacon.
- Fry-scramble, and remove from pan while they are still quite soft (nearly set), and combine with the sauce.
- Stir together, and place in a buttered 11x7 inch baking dish.
- Butter the bread.
- Whirl in a food processor to make buttered crumbs.
- Sprinkle on top of the sauced eggs.
- Can refrigerate, covered, overnight for baking the next morning.
- Bake, uncovered, at 350°F for 20 minutes, till set, and crumbs are toasted.

Just absolutely loved these eggs!! I cut this back to 1 serving and didn't add in the optional meat, but will do that next time, as then it will only be even better. Wasn't sure if I would like the buttery breadcrumbs, but really like that added texture with the creamy eggs. Will definitely use this for brunches/holidays and for overnight company, oh heck just anytime. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe. Made for PRMR Tag Game.

<p>For someone as outgoing as I am, it is astounding that I have been unable to do something as seemingly simple as filling out my home page, so consider this draft one...(or would that be daft one??)... <br /> <br />I am blessed to live an ordinary life, have family that I dearly love, get great reward from volunteer work, and have the luxury of indulging in far too much time cooking and reading about food. I am a retired nurse and have been married to a really wonderful man for 37 years. I am a happy person, and my life is very satisfying, but somehow I can't translate the essence of ME into words, as some on Zaar have done so well. <br />I particularly enjoy reading reviews, and the Q&A forum for all the expert and generous advice that the members share. <br />Since joining Zaar, I rarely use my extensive cookbook library...this is one terrific site. <br /> <br /><img src=http://www.satsleuth.com/cooking/Swap14.JPG alt= /></p>
