Ingredients

Servings 10

1/2 lb bacon
2 cups cheese, shredded

Sauce

1/2 cup butter, melted
8 oz ham, cut into small pieces
4 oz mushrooms, sliced (optional)
salt & pepper, to taste
1/2 cup flour
1 qt milk

Eggs

16 lg eggs
1 cup evaporated milk
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 tsp pepper
3/4 tsp salt

Method

Preheat oven to 325°.
Fry and crumble bacon, set aside.
Mix well in saucepan: butter, ham, mushrooms (if desired), salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with flour and gradually stir in milk. Cook until thickened and set aside, stirring occasionally. (Cheese could be added here if you like more cheese.)

You can also substitute artichoke hearts and/or fresh spinach if you want to make a vegetarian dish.
Whisk eggs, evaporated milk, salt and pepper to combine well. Melt butter in a large skillet and scramble until eggs are set.
In a buttered 9x13 baking dish, place a layer of the eggs, a layer of the sauce, and top with bacon and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
Cover and bake for 1 hour at 300-325°.
