Directions
Cook sliced mushrooms in 1 Tbs. melted butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until tender. Set mushrooms aside. Combine eggs, evaporated milk, and salt; stir well. Melt 1/4 C. butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add egg mixture and cook, without stirring, until mixture begins to set on bottom. Draw a spatula across bottom of pan to form large curds. Continue cooking until eggs are firm but still moist (do not stir constantly); set aside. Melt remaining 1/4 C. butter in a heavy saucepan over low heat; add flour and milk, stirring until smooth. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually mixture will thicken and bubble. Stir in mushrooms, bacon, dried beef, and pepper.
Pour half of sauce into an ungreased 13x9 baking dish; top with eggs. Pour remaining sauce over eggs. Cover and bake at 275 degrees for 1 hour.
Makes 12 servings.
