Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pcs large eggs
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 tsp paprika (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 4 slices bread (white, whole grain, or sourdough)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 9 minutes.
Immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for about 5 minutes. Peel the eggs and roughly chop them. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute, whisking constantly, to create a roux.
Slowly add the milk to the roux, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Cook the mixture for 3–4 minutes until it thickens into a smooth, creamy sauce.
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper, then gently fold in the chopped eggs. Stir to combine and heat the mixture through, about 2 minutes.
Meanwhile, toast the slices of bread to your desired level of crispness using a toaster or under a broiler.
Spoon the creamed egg mixture over each slice of toast, spreading it evenly. Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika and chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy this warm, comforting dish!
