Croque Madame Crostini

• 3/4 Stick unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon All purpose flour
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1 Sprig each, thyme and tarragon
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste
• 4 Slices sourdough bread
• 4 Slices canadian bacon
• 8 eggs
• 4 tablespoons Clarified butter, bacon fat or olive oil
• 6 ounces Gruyere cheese, grated and divided into fourths

1. Preheat broiler
2. Melt 1 Tbsp butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about 2 minutes, but don't let it turn brown. Add the milk and herbs and cook, stirring from time to time, about 10 minutes. Fish out the herb sprigs and transfer to a bowl to cool.
3. Top each slice of bread with a slice of canadian bacon. Mix together 1/4 of the Gruyere cheese and the bechamel sauce. Taste for seasoning. Spread a little of the sauce on top of the bacon and repeat with the other slices of bread.
4. Heat two large cast iron or nonstick skillets and crack 4 eggs into each skillet. While the eggs cook, place the crostini under the broiler and broil until the top becomes golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Season the eggs with salt and top each crostini with 2 fried eggs. Enjoy!
