Gourmet SOS

This is a variation of SOS (sh** on a shingle - chipped beef on toast) and also sort of a variation on eggs benedict. I don't know why I sometimes try to kill my family with incredibly rich foods, but I do. :) The bread is a modification of Giada De Laurentis' Lemon Basil Eggs over Foccacia recipe.
Ingredients
- basil eggs Over Foccacia shopping list
- 1 large loaf foccacia bread shopping list
- 2 tablespoons olive oil shopping list
- 5 eggs shopping list
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves shopping list
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon salt shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper shopping list

How to make it
- Basil Eggs Over Foccacia
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cut the top off the foccacia and hollow out the bread inside. Tear the top of the foccacia and the inside bread into 1-inch pieces and save for the egg mixture. Brush the inside of the foccacia with the olive oil to prevent the eggs from soaking the bread. Place on a baking sheet and toast for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the basil, cheese, salt, pepper, and milk. Whisk lightly. Stir in up to 4 cups of the bread pieces.
- Carefully pour the egg mixture into the toasted foccacia bottom. Return to the oven and bake until the eggs have cooked, about 35 to 40 minutes.
- Cut the baked foccacia into 6 to 8 slices.
- Ham in White Sauce
- Slice ham into strips.
- Make a roux with the butter and flour and slowly stir in the milk. When it has reached the desired consistency, add the ham strips.
- Plate the slice of egg foccacia and pour ham and white sauce over the top and serve immediately.
