Baked Eggs & Cheese.

I found this one years ago in the great Belzoni, MS, cookbook, "Festival." Lorraine loves this one. The only real cooking part is making the sauce that the eggs then bake in. The sauce will simmer along for a while, and then suddenly thicken.

Cheesy Baked Eggs

1/4 cup melted butter
1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard
1/4 cup flour
2 cups milk
Dash pepper
1 & 1/2 cups grated cheese
1 teaspoon salt
8 eggs

Melt butter; add flour, salt, pepper, and mustard. Stir until smooth. Then slowly add milk. Heat on medium until this cooks to a creamy sauce. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Add grated cheese to sauce; stir until cheese melts. Remove sauce from heat. Pour half of sauce into 4 greased ramekins or an oblong baking dish. Break eggs 1 by 1 and put 2 into each ramekin or 8 into baking dish. Now pour rest of sauce over eggs. Bake in 325 degree oven 20 or 25 minutes.
