Ingredients

• 6 pieces Eggs
• 4 medium-sized Potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Milk
• 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 cups Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool, then peel and set aside.

Step 2

While the eggs cook, peel and dice the potatoes into bite-sized cubes. Place the potatoes in a separate pot, cover with salted water, and bring to a boil. Cook for 10-12 minutes or until tender, then drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to form a roux.

Step 4

Gradually pour in the milk while whisking continuously to ensure a smooth mixture. Cook the sauce over medium heat, stirring regularly, until it thickens (about 5-7 minutes).

Step 5

Season the béchamel sauce with nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. If desired, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.

Step 6

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 7

In a greased baking dish, spread the cooked potatoes evenly, then layer the boiled eggs (halved or sliced) on top.

Step 8

Pour the béchamel sauce over the eggs and potatoes, ensuring everything is well coated.

Step 9

Optional: Sprinkle additional grated Parmesan cheese on top for a golden crust.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is bubbling and slightly golden.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
