Georgie,
OK, this is not an egg recipe, but could easily be adapted to the egg. I prefer the broiler. This is a great sandwich for leftover turkey breast, which tends to dry when re-heated:
I give you, the Hot Brown:
INGREDIENTS:
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 1 cup milk
• 1 egg yolk, slightly beaten
• 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 4 slices white bread, toasted
• 6 ounces roast turkey, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
• 8 strips fully cooked bacon

PREPARATION:
Sauce: In a medium saucepan melt margarine or butter. Stir in flour and pepper. Add milk all at once.
Cook, stirring constantly, until thick and bubbly. Gradually stir some of the hot mixture into beaten egg yolk. Return all of the egg and sauce mixture to the saucepan.
Cook and stir until the sauce just starts to bubble again. Remove from heat. Stir in the 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese.
Arrange the slices of toast in a single layer on the unheated rack of a broil pan. Top with sliced turkey, some sauce, and the 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese.
Broil 3 to 4 inches from the heat about 3 minutes or until the sauce is hot and bubbly. For each serving, place one toast and turkey portion on a serving plate. Top each serving with two slices of cooked bacon. Serve hot.
