Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups 2% milk
  • 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon grated Romano cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 6 eggs
  • 6 slices Canadian bacon, warmed
  • 1 large ripe avocado, peeled and sliced

Directions

  • In a large saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour until smooth; gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat; stir in the cheeses and seasonings. Cook and stir until cheese is melted; keep warm.

Great! I made it without the avocado, since I was just looking for a better sauce recipe than others I'd tried. It was a hit!

I used a Hollandaise sauce mix for this recipe. It was good that way too.
