Almost Eggs Benedict

 This works nicely on a buffet.  Don’t want English muffin – OK.  Don’t want Canadian bacon – no problem.  Everyone gets as much, or little, as they want.

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 3/4 cup flour, all purpose
  • 4 cups milk
  • 1 c chicken broth
  • 24 slices Canadian Bacon, browned to heat
  • 4 ounces shredded Jarlsberg cheese
  • 12 hard-boiled eggs, cut into quarters, or sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 Tab lemon juice
  • 12 English muffins, cut in half and toasted

Directions:

  1. Melt butter in saucepan, stir in flour until smooth.
  2. Add milk and chicken broth stirring constantly.
  3. Bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes while stirring continuously.
  4. Add cheese, stir until cheese melts.
  5. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  6. Stir gently and heat through. (You know you are making a cheese sauce don’t you?  Use it everywhere – meat, vegetables.  Vary the cheese, make it richer with cream.)
  7. Top muffin halves with a slice of Canadian bacon.
  8. Top Canadian bacon with eggs.
  9. Serve sauce over muffin halves.

Serves:  12
