Method
Preparation of Mornay Sauce
Add Milk
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form. Continue to whisk until the sauce thickens and comes to a simmer, about 5-7 minutes.
Add Cheese and Seasoning
Remove from heat and stir in the shredded Gruyère cheese until melted. Season with paprika, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
Assembly
Prepare the Texas Toast
Toast the slices of Texas toast until golden brown. You can use a toaster or a grill to achieve this.
Layer Ingredients
On each slice of toasted Texas toast, layer the sliced roasted turkey, followed by the sliced tomatoes and mushrooms.
Add Mornay Sauce
Generously pour the prepared Mornay sauce over the layered turkey, tomatoes, and mushrooms on each toast.
Cook Eggs
In a non-stick skillet, fry the eggs sunny-side up. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny, about 3-4 minutes.
