Ingredients for this Creamed Eggs Recipe
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- ⅛ teaspoon ground white pepper (optional)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Directions
- Boil the eggs:
Place eggs in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover, remove from heat, and let sit for 10–12 minutes. Then, transfer to an ice bath, peel, and chop. - Make the white sauce:
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes, whisking constantly to form a roux (do not brown). - Add milk:
Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens—about 5–7 minutes. - Season and add eggs:
Stir in white pepper (if using), salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Fold in the chopped eggs and heat through. - Serve:
Serve the creamed eggs hot over toast, English muffins, or biscuits for a hearty breakfast or brunch.
