Ingredients for Eggs Goldenrod

• Eggs – You need them to be hard-boiled. If you don’t have any leftovers, make some from scratch using our Perfect Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs recipe!
• Butter
• Flour
• Milk – For an even creamier sauce, consider subbing some of the milk out for half-and-half.

How to make Creamed Eggs

1. Half your eggs to separate the yolks and whites before chopping each separately.
2. Prepare a bechamel sauce and allow to thicken before stirring in chopped egg whites.
3. Top with chopped egg yolks and serve over toast or biscuits.

Start things off by prepping your eggs. Cut your hard-boiled eggs in half and separate the yolks from the whites. Give each of those a fine dice before setting it aside. Head on over to the stovetop and get some butter melting in a saucepan over medium heat.

Once the butter has melted, add in an equal amount of flour to start making a roux. Stir that flour in and allow that roux to cook until the raw flour smell has disappeared.

To make a good bechamel from a roux, you’ll want to slowly stream the milk in. Add the milk in small amounts to start off, mixing thoroughly with the roux to dissolve it into the milk. Keep at this until all the milk is added.

Stir constantly as the sauce continues to thicken over medium/medium-low heat. We don’t want this stuff to scorch!

Once the bechamel has thickened to your liking, season to taste with salt and pepper. Consider adding in a dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper to heat things up!

After seasoning, add your egg whites and stir to coat them and incorporate.

Top your Creamed Eggs with your reserved egg yolks. All that’s left is to serve over some biscuits or toast and enjoy!

Flavoring the Cream Sauce for Eggs

• Onion/Garlic Powder – You could, instead, cook up a bit of garlic in your pan before starting on the bechamel.
• Worcestershire Sauce – In a similar way to the hot sauce, add a dash or two to the bechamel while seasoning to add a savory flavor to it.
• Wine – A little splash of something like white wine or sherry might really brighten the sauce up some! This would also help this recipe taste more like French Creamed Eggs.

Creamed Eggs Variations

• Creamed Eggs and Ham – When adding in your egg whites, consider adding some cubed or sliced ham in with them. It helps introduce some meat into the dish which can improve the flavor and make it a bit more nutritious and filling.
• Creamed Eggs and Peas – In a similar way, add in some cooked peas for a bit of color and fresh, vegetable flavor. You might also consider adding some other chopped greens- maybe some spinach?
• Eggs a la Bechamel – This dish is a sort of distant cousin to this one but it’s still worth checking out! Serve soft-boiled or poached eggs over some buttery croutons before topping with some bechamel.
