Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for 10 minutes.
While the eggs are cooking, prepare a bowl of ice water. Once the eggs are done, transfer them to the ice water to cool for at least 5 minutes. Peel the shells off the eggs once they have cooled and set them aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
Slowly pour in the milk while whisking to avoid lumps. Add the heavy cream and continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and season the sauce with salt, white pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Stir well to combine.
Slice the peeled boiled eggs in half or quarters and gently add them to the white sauce. Use a spoon to coat the eggs in the sauce without breaking them apart.
Simmer the eggs in the sauce for 5 minutes, allowing them to heat through and absorb the flavors of the sauce.
Transfer the stewed eggs to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve warm with boiled potatoes, steamed vegetables, or buttered bread.
