Fancy Egg Scramble for Breakfast

Serves 10 – very good to make evening before to serve for breakfast next morning.

1 Cup (4 oz) diced ham
1/2 Cup chopped green onion
3 tablespoons butter
12 eggs, slightly beaten
1 (3 oz) can stems/pieces mushrooms (drained)
Cheese sauce (below)
4 tablespoon melted butter
2-1/4 cup soft bread crumbs (3 slices)
1/8 teaspoon paprika

In large skillet, saute ham and onion in 3 tbl oleo until onion is tender (but not brown).  Add egg and
scramble until eggs re just beginning to set (beginning to form, not cooked).

Pour all into a 12x7x2 pan.  (Or 13×9)
Combine remaining butter, crumbs and paprika
Sprinkle over egg mixture
Cover with Reynolds wrap and chill overnight
30 minutes before you eat, bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 30 minutes

Cheese Sauce for Egg Scramble

Melt 2 tbl margarine
Blend in 2 tbl flour, ½ tsp salt, 1/8 tsp black papper, 2 cup milk
Cook until bubbly
Melt in 1 cup (4 oz) shredded American cheese

Not a thick mixture – isn’t too runny even though it looks it

If you are making the morning you need it, chill only 30 minutes to an hour.  It is easier to chill
overnight.
