  • Lightly grease a 2 quart casserole dish. Sprinkle half of the chopped egg in the bottom of the casserole, add half of the bacon; repeat.

  • Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened and transparent. Stir in flour. Slowly add milk and shredded cheese. Stir until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth and creamy. Pour over layered eggs and bacon.

  • Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes.

I've made this recipe a couple of times. We just finished eating it and it was absolutely fabulous. This time I halved the recipe since there was only two of us. I had ham instead of bacon on hand just less milk than called for (just enough to make a nice cheese sauce. Add a little milk then a little cheese repeat until cheese is gone). I also sauteed the onions and then added the ham in the pan to flavor up the ham. The adding of dijon mustard as suggested in another review topped everything off perfectly. There was no need for salt or pepper. It reminded us of eggs benedict. Delicious!

Wonderful recipe! I'm bad though I used half and half instead of milk because I wanted it nice and rich and it was!:)

Unusual and tasty breakfast dish! Add a little Dijon mustard to the sauce for zip and buttered bread crumbs as a topping for crunch.

I had leftover ham which I substituted for the bacon. Good recipe to use up Easter leftovers!

I like this recipe. I did add minced garlic along with the onion. I also cut the corn from one ear off my sweet corn and included it with the onion and garlic. A different twist on eh bakes with the hard boiled eggs.

My wife and I loved this dish.I had my doubts when I put it in the oven and still had doubts when I took it out of the oven due to how creamy it was. Upon tasting it though it was much better than I expected. the creaminess only enhanced the taste. It is a extremely good dish. The only thing I did differently was to put some of the onions on the first layer before I added the rest of the in ingredients.
