Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 4 servings bread, biscuits, or rice (for serving)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 9-10 minutes.
Remove the eggs from the water and place them in an ice bath or under cold running water to cool for 5 minutes. Peel the eggs and slice them in half or quarters. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
Gradually add the milk, about 1/4 cup at a time, whisking constantly to eliminate lumps. Once all the milk is incorporated, stir in the heavy cream.
Continue to cook the sauce, stirring frequently, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon (about 3-4 minutes). Reduce the heat to low.
Stir in the salt and black pepper. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Gently fold in the sliced eggs, being careful not to break them apart too much. Let the eggs warm through in the sauce for 1-2 minutes.
Serve the creamed eggs over toasted bread, biscuits, or a bed of rice. Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika and chopped parsley, if desired.
