BLTs are a favorite at my house, so I created this recipe to combine those flavors into a warm, cozy casserole. It was such a hit, I served it to my church ladies group at a brunch I hosted. —Priscilla Detrick, Catoosa, Oklahoma

Ingredients

1/4 cup mayonnaise
5 slices bread, toasted
4 slices process American cheese
12 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled

In a small saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour, salt and pepper until smooth. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, 2 minutes. Pour over bacon.
In a large skillet, fry eggs over medium heat until they reach desired doneness; place over bacon. Top with tomato slices; sprinkle with cheddar cheese and onions. Bake, uncovered, 10 minutes. Cut in squares; serve with lettuce.

First time I made it per the instructions and it was good, but the eggs were overcooked or our tastes. Second time I changed the layers instead of eggs over the bacon, I placed tomatoes, green onions and cheese. Made four small indentations and gently put a raw egg in each. Sprinkled with salt and pepper, a little paprika and baked at 350 for 12 minutes. This way the yolk is little runny, the casserole looks more like it does in the picture and it comes together faster because it eliminates frying the egg. Adjust baking time according to how you like your eggs cooked.

Delicious and easy to make. I divided this recipe in half. I used Morning Star veggie bacon strips as we are vegetarian. Thanks for sharing the recipe, Priscilla.

This was amazing! Great flavor and very filling. I used Monterey Jack cheese instead of sharp cheddar on top because that's what I had on hand.

I made this for a lunch that I was hosting and everyone wanted the recipe. Leftovers were warmed up and tasted as good as the first time.

VERY DELICIOUS!!!! I don't know how you come up with that combination but it goes SO well together. I now know how to make homemade sawmill gravy. Thank you! Definitely will make again. My husband wasn't going to try it right when I made it then he did and couldn't stay out of it! Going to be a new favorite in our house!
