Ingredients

the basic recipe

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg traditional or 1 teaspoon dijon or pub mustard (my favorite way)
  • 2 hard boiled eggs - chopped plus one soft boiled egg cut in half (or three hard boiled if you prefer)
  • 2-4 slices of toasted bread of choice

Instructions

make the white sauce

  • In a 10-12 inch skillet melt the butter over medium-high heat.
  • Whisk in flour and nutmeg or mustard.
  • When bubbly, add the milk a little at a time, whisking contantly to combine.
  • Add salt and pepper.
  • Continue to whisk until thick and bubbly.

add the eggs

  • If your soft boiled egg is still warm add it at the end, if not I nestle it in the cream sauce whilst I toast the bread.
  • Remove from heat and add chopped eggs, cover if heating soft boiled egg.
  • Toast and butter slices of bread.
  • Put toast on serving plates, assemble, and serve.
