Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a large saute pan over low heat, melt butter. Add flour and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, taking care not to brown the flour. Slowly add hot milk, using a wire whisk to stir. Cook the roux into the milk over low simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, until mixture has thickened. Add the salt, pepper and cayenne. Stir in the cheese and the green onions. Remove from the heat when the cheese has fully melted.

Break the eggs, one at a time, into a small, shallow fruit dish and slide them, one at a time, into the sauce.
