How to Make Governor's Breakfast Casserole

  1. Saute 1 medium onion, chopped, in 2 tablespoons butter until tender (about 5 minutes).
  2. Whisk in 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour and gradually add 2 cups milk, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
  3. Reduce heat to low; stir in 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
  4. In a greased 10x6x2 inch or 9x12 inch casserole dish, layer 6 large eggs (thinly sliced), half of the cheese sauce, 1 cup crushed potato chips, and 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled.
  5. Repeat layers with remaining eggs, cheese sauce, potato chips, and bacon.
  6. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30-45 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
  7. For best results, refrigerate covered overnight after assembling layers and bake the next day, adding 10-15 minutes to baking time.
