Personal Notes:
The nice thing about this recipe is that you can prepare the eggs in advance and keep them refrigerated until you are ready to bake them. If you do that, you may need to leave them in the oven for 40 minutes to make sure they are warm in the center. The cheese sauce keeps the eggs from drying up when you bake them. They taste fresh and luscious when served. Years ago I directed a choir that sang at the Christmas Midnight Mass at Holy Ghost Church. Every year the choir and their families would gather after Mass in the church hall for a breakfast that included fresh rolls, ham, Eggs ala Deacon and a little wine to make the heart happy. I remember the times together on those very early Christmas mornings fondly.
