Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 Tablespoons of butter
  • 2 Tablespoons of all-purpose flour
  • 1 Cup of milk (whole or 2%)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • A pinch of paprika or cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 4 Slices of bread (white, wheat, or your choice)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. Hard Boil the eggs:

  • Place the eggs in a pot and cover them in water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 8-10 minutes.
  • Once cooked, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool. Peel and chop them into small pieces. 

2. Make the cream sauce:

  • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and stir constantly for 1-2 minutes to create a roux (it should be a smooth paste).
  • Slowly pour in the milk while whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Cook until the sauce thickens (about 3-5 minutes).
  • Season with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of paprika or cayenne pepper if you like a bit of spice.

3. Combine eggs and sauce:

  • Add the chopped eggs to the sauce and stir gently until they are well coated and warmed through.

4. Toast the bread:

  • While the sauce is heating, toast the slices of bread until golden brown.

5. Serve:

  • Spoon the creamed eggs over the toast. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
