     3 c  Whole milk
 4 1/2 tb Unsalted butter
     6 tb A-P flour
   3/4 c  Manchego cheese; 6-month-aged,
          - coarsely grated
   1/2 ts Salt
   1/8 ts Black pepper

     4 sl White bread
   1/4 c  Truffle aioli
     4 sl White American cheese
   1/4 c  Jamon iberico (ham)
     2 lg Fried eggs; sunny side up
     2 tb Butter; melted

 Make the mornay. In small sauce pan, heat milk, salt, black pepper,
 and espelette on low heat. In separate sauce pan, heat butter on
 medium-low heat.

 Sprinkle the flour over the hot butter and stir for 4 to 5 minutes.
 Stir often with spatula to cook out the raw flour taste.

 One ladle at a time, add the warm milk to the flour and butter
 mixture, whisking simultaneously.

 After milk is added, sprinkle the cheese into warm sauce while
 whisking. Strain and keep warm.

 Make the bikini. On each slice of white bread, smear a few
 tablespoons of truffle aioli and build the sandwich up from the
 bottom. Place a slice of cheese on each slice of bread. Next, add
 jamon iberico to one slice of bread and place the other piece of
 cheese and bread on top to complete the sandwich.

 Place nonstick saute pan on medium heat and add 2 tb butter. Place
 bikini in pan and press lightly for 30 seconds, release, and sear
 for 2 minutes.  Brush remaining melted butter on the top of the
 bikini and flip. Continue to sear until the bikini is sufficiently
 hot and cheese in melted.

 To assemble. Place bikini on plate and cover with warm manchego
 mornay and top with sunny side up egg. Lightly salt egg yolk and
 serve.
