Start off your day with a hearty breakfast casserole that stars everyone's favorite breakfast trio: bacon, eggs, and cheese.

10 eggs, hardboiled, peeled, and sliced

6 tablespoons butter (3/4 of a stick)

2 tablespoons flour

1 1/2 cups half-and-half

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

6 ounces cheddar cheese, cut into small pieces

12 strips of cooked bacon, crumbled

Cracker crumbs (crumble about 20 to 25 crackers)

In a medium saucepan, prepare the cheese sauce by melting butter, and then add the flour slowly so no lumps occur. Gradually add the half-and-half and cook over low heat until it thickens a bitâabout 10 minutes.
Add the salt, pepper, and cheese. Stir until the cheese is fully melted, then remove the cheese sauce from heat.
In a 9x9-inch pan, layer half of the eggs, followed by half of the crumbled bacon, then half of the cheese sauce. Repeat the layers again.
Sprinkle cracker crumbs over the top and bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes.
