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.
