Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, chopped)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a small saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, remove the pan from heat, cover, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.
After the eggs have rested, drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool for 5 minutes. Peel the eggs once cooled and chop them into small pieces. Set aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and whisk continuously to form a roux. Cook the roux for 1-2 minutes, being careful not to brown it.
Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Continue cooking and stirring until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste. Stir in the chopped boiled eggs and mix well to coat them evenly in the sauce.
Optional: Garnish the sauce with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm over toast, rice, or your choice of accompaniment. Enjoy!
