Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Eggs
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 4 servings Toast, biscuits, or rice
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and let the eggs simmer for 10 minutes.
Drain the hot water from the pot and immediately submerge the eggs in an ice bath or cold water. Let them cool for 5 minutes, then peel the eggs and chop them into quarters or slices. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once the butter is melted, add the flour and whisk constantly for about 1 minute to create a roux. The mixture should be smooth and slightly golden in color.
Gradually pour in the milk, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Cook the mixture for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens into a creamy sauce.
Season the sauce with salt and ground black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Fold the chopped eggs gently into the sauce. Heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are warmed through.
Serve the creamed eggs over toast, biscuits, or rice. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
