Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400*F.
  2. For the bechamel sauce: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium low heat in a small saucepan and whisk in the flour, cooking for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Whisk the milk into the butter/flour mixture and bring to a bubble, then turn heat to low.
  4. Season the mixture by adding the salt, pepper, nutmeg, and Dijon mustard.
  5. Remove from heat when sauce coats the back of a spoon.
  6. Add 1/2 cup grated Gruyere and the Parmesan, stirring until incorporated, and set aside.
  7. To prepare the polenta: Cut into 1/2 inch slices and pan fry on both sides in 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat until crispy & golden brown.
  8. Place pan-fried polenta slices onto a lightly oiled baking sheet.
  9. To assemble the sandwiches : Top half of the polenta slices with a dollup of bechamel sauce, 2 slices of bacon each (folded or torn to fit), and sprinkle with half the remaining Gruyere.
  10. Top each with another piece of pan-fried polenta.
  11. Sprinkle with the remaining Gruyere and bake the sandwiches for 5 minutes.
  12. Remove from the oven.
  13. Using a spatula, top each open-faced sandwich with a fried egg, sunny-side up.
  14. Slather the tops with the cheese sauce and garnish with chopped herbs if desired.
  15. Serve hot.
