5-Ingredient Creamed Eggs on Toast
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Large eggs | 4 |
| Butter | 2 tbsp |
| All-purpose flour | 2 tbsp |
| Milk | 1½ cups |
| Toasted bread | 4 slices |
| Salt and black pepper | To taste |
Directions
1. Cook the Eggs
Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, remove from the heat, cover, and let stand for 10–12 minutes. Transfer to ice water until cool enough to handle.
2. Chop the Eggs
Peel the eggs and chop them into bite-sized pieces. Set aside while preparing the sauce.
3. Prepare the Cream Sauce
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1–2 minutes, whisking constantly until smooth.
4. Add the Milk
Gradually whisk in the milk until the mixture is lump-free. Continue cooking, stirring often, until the sauce thickens and becomes creamy, about 4–6 minutes.
5. Mix Everything Together
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper. Fold in the chopped eggs and heat gently for another 1–2 minutes without boiling.
6. Serve
Arrange the toasted bread on serving plates and spoon the creamy egg mixture generously over each slice. Finish with an extra sprinkle of black pepper if desired and serve immediately.
