6 hard boiled eggs
2 Tbs butter
2 Tbs flour
1 cup milks
alt and pepper to taste
cayenne to taste
buttered toast
Peel the hard boiled eggs and cut them in dice them up. Melt the butter in a saucepan, then mix in the flour with a whisk, cooking a few minutes until it just lightly browns. Watch it carefully so it doesn’t burn. Slowly whisk in the milk and cook a few minutes, stirring, until thickened. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Mix in the egg gently. Make your toast and butter it. Spoon the sauce over the toast and serve.
Mom used to make this for us when we were kids. She always called it "Sleepy Eggs"...as she used the toast as a bed, the egg slices carefully laid across the "bed", and the gravy across the "kids" and the bottom 2/3 of the "bed" as the "blanket".
ReplyDeleteThat's cute. I just cook it because sometimes I buy too many eggs.
