Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoons ground nutmeg (optional)
- 4 hard-boiled eggs
- 4 bread slices (preferably thick-cut)
- 1 tablespoons fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
- 1 tablespoons butter (for toasting bread)
Instructions
Begin by peeling the hard-boiled eggs and chopping them into small chunks. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat.
Once the butter has melted, whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. Cook the mixture for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux. Be careful not to let it brown.
Gradually whisk in 1.5 cups of whole milk, stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Cook the mixture until it thickens and bubbles slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
Season the sauce with 0.5 teaspoons of salt, 0.25 teaspoons of ground black pepper, and 0.125 teaspoons of ground nutmeg (if using). Stir well to combine.
Gently fold the chopped hard-boiled eggs into the cream sauce, ensuring they are evenly coated. Reduce the heat to low to keep the mixture warm while preparing the toast.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and toast the bread slices until golden brown on both sides.
Place a slice of toasted bread on each plate and generously spoon the creamed eggs over the top.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
