Eggs a la Goldenrod
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- A pinch of white pepper (you can substitute black pepper if you’d like)
- 2 tablespoons snipped chives
- A tablespoon or more of prepared mustard according to taste (We enjoyed the country mustard with horseradish added)
- 8 hard boiled eggs
- 4 slices of toasted bread cut into triangles
Method:
- Peel the hard boiled eggs and separate the yolk from the white.
- Slice the egg whites into bite size portions.
- Press the yolks through a sieve and set aside.
- Melt the butter in a heavy bottomed saucepan over low heat.
- Add the flour and blend well.
- Add the salt and the pepper.
- After about 4 minutes of cooking over low heat add the 2 cups of milk and turn up the heat to medium.
- Stir constantly until the milk begins to thicken.
- Whisk in the mustard.
- Add the chives and the eggs whites and heat through.
- Toast the bread and cut each piece into 4 triangles or whatever shape you’d like.
- Place bread on a plate and scoop a good portion of the prepared white sauce mixture over the bread. Garnish with the egg yolk that was pressed through a sieve.
Note: I think this recipe would work well with some cooked crumbled sausage or bacon added to the white sauce.
This recipe will make at least 4 generous servings.
…I love eggs and toast, my normal breakfast.
Looks yummy! Thanks for sharing! Have a great day and a happy weekend!
One of my favorite recipes. I also like to sauté onions in the butter and add some shredded cheese to the sauce. I love that this recipe is easy to improvise
I learned to make this dish when I was taking Home Economics…way back in the day. 🙂 It’s a nice filling dish for a quick evening supper.
That looks and sounds yummy. I love when you post recipes like this – reminding me how I miss the daily MGCC recipe posts from “long” ago!
We like creamed eggs on toast – not separating out the whites and yolks. With some tomatoes on the side it’s a filling breakfast or lunch. Yours is very pretty.
A delicious breakfast and meal for any time. I like breakfast for supper.
