I liked your scramble before the cheese sauce! You could have saved
the sauce for lunch. I'm thinking about something similar to an open
faced grilled/broiled cheese sandwich. My grandfather would toast
bread lightly, then top it with cheddar cheese and run it under the
broiler until melted and bubbly. Then he would top it with thick
slices of tomato, fresh from his garden. I envision your version as
being layered toast - tomato - cheese sauce.
