Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Hard-boiled eggs
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 pieces Bread slices
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the hard-boiled eggs and separate the yolks from the whites. Finely chop the egg whites and crumble the yolks into small pieces. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Stir in the all-purpose flour to form a smooth paste (roux). Cook for 1-2 minutes while stirring constantly, but do not let it brown.
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form. Continue stirring until the mixture begins to thicken, about 3-5 minutes.
Season the white sauce with salt and black pepper.
Gently fold the chopped egg whites into the white sauce. Stir until evenly combined.
Toast the bread slices to your desired level of crispness.
Place each toasted bread slice on a plate and ladle the egg white mixture over the top.
Sprinkle the crumbled egg yolks over each serving to resemble goldenrod flowers.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
