Ingredients

1 Tablespoon butter

1 Tablespoon flour

1 cup milk

1 cup cheddar cheese or Monterey Jack

1/2 teaspoon thyme

1/4 teaspoon marjoram

1/4 teaspoon basil

6 to 8 hard-boiled eggs, sliced

1/4 cup finely chopped parsley, or judicious amounts of whatever fresh herbs are in the garden

1/4 pound bacon or sausage – sauteed, drained, and crumbled

1/3 cup dried bread crumbs (buttered, optional)

Instructions:

Make a roux with butter and flour; add milk, herbs, and cheese. Then in a casserole dish put a layer of eggs, bacon, parsley, and sauce. Repeat. Sprinkle bread crumbs on top. Cook uncovered in 350-degree oven for 30 minutes. This dish benefits greatly from the homemade bacon and sausage we get from our local butcher, but we’ve also used vacuum-packed linguisa to good effect.
