I made these egg sandwiches for DH's late night supper and he loved them. Made two and than he asked for one more. The cheese sauce is creamy and rich. I did not add the cayenne pepper but did add 3 drops of hot sauce. Used Brownberrys country white bread and it worked perfectly. I made the cheese sauce first and kept it warm while making the eggs. Thank you for posting Lainey, will be making these eggs again!
