Egg and Cheese Bake

01Method

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Fry the bacon in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat until evenly browned. Drain on paper towels, crumble, and set aside.

2. 2

   Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat immediately. Cover and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to cold water, peel, and chop.

3. 3

   Lightly grease a 2-quart casserole dish. Layer half the chopped egg across the bottom, then half the crumbled bacon; repeat the layers with the remaining egg and bacon.

4. 4

   Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft and translucent. Whisk in the flour, then gradually pour in the milk and add the cheese. Stir continuously until the cheese has fully melted and the sauce is smooth. Pour the sauce evenly over the layered egg and bacon.

5. 5

   Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
