Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Hard-boiled eggs
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 4 slices White bread slices
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the hard-boiled eggs and separate the yolks from the whites. Set the yolks aside in a small bowl and crumble them gently with a fork. Dice the egg whites into small pieces and set aside separately.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the all-purpose flour and cook for 1–2 minutes to form a roux, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking continuously to ensure a smooth mixture. Cook the sauce over medium heat, stirring, until it thickens to a creamy consistency, about 4–5 minutes.
Season the white sauce with salt and ground black pepper. Stir in the diced egg whites and fold gently to combine. Remove the saucepan from the heat and keep warm.
Toast the white bread slices until golden brown. Cut each slice diagonally into triangles or leave them whole, depending on your preference.
To plate, spoon the white sauce and egg white mixture over the toast. Sprinkle the crumbled egg yolks generously over the top to create the 'goldenrod' effect.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy this timeless dish!
