Ingredients

• 6 large Hard-boiled eggs
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 4 pieces Bread slices
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the hard-boiled eggs and separate the yolks from the whites. Chop the whites into small pieces and crumble the yolks into a fine texture using a fork or your fingers. Set aside each in separate bowls.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until it is fully melted and begins to bubble lightly.

Step 3

Add the flour to the melted butter and whisk constantly to create a roux. Cook the mixture for about 1-2 minutes, ensuring it does not brown.

Step 4

Gradually add the milk to the roux while continually whisking to prevent lumps. Continue cooking and whisking for about 3-4 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and becomes smooth.

Step 5

Stir in the chopped egg whites, then season the sauce with salt and black pepper. Cook for another minute to heat the egg whites through.

Step 6

While the sauce is warming, toast the bread slices until golden brown.

Step 7

To assemble, place a piece of toast on a plate and spoon the creamy egg white sauce generously over the top.

Step 8

Sprinkle the crumbled egg yolks evenly over the sauce to create the 'golden rod' effect.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy this warm, hearty breakfast dish!
