Creamed Eggs On Toast

I remember watching my mother make this when I was a little girl. Actually, the creamy white milk sauce can be used for another dish as well, but I'll tell you about that one later on down the line.

For now, let's get out some of the ingredients:

Depending on the amount of eggs you like, this would be a great way to use up all of the boiled eggs leftover from Easter :) I used up mine.

Anywhere from 8-12 boiled eggs, peeled and clean, cut-up or chopped {however you would like them} - Set them aside, until we're ready to add them in.

4 tablespoons of butter {that's what I use - you can use margarine, if you prefer}
4 tablespoons of flour
2 cups milk {I used skim, it's still tasty with skim milk but you can use any old milk you like, except goats milk...that might taste a little odd}

That's some pretty simple ingredients, don't you think? Okay, now let's get cooking....

In a medium sized saucepan, on a medium heat setting, melt your 4 tablespoons of butter {I added a sprinkling of garlic powder to mine, but you don't need to}. When the butter is melted, sprinkle and stir in the 4 tablespoons of flour. Everything should blend together into a brownish paste. Immediately begin pouring in, little by little - while stirring continually, your 2 cups of milk. Continue to stir on medium heat until the liquid thickens {just like cooking pudding}.

After the sauce is thick, then you can add in a little salt-n-pepper {I like to wait and put mine on later, individually, to the taste of each person}. Now is the time to drop in your boiled eggs. Stir it all up gently and serve on toast.

It's as simple as that....and, oh so tasty!

{Another variation to the creamy milk sauce is, when thickened, rather than adding boiled eggs to it.....you can add tuna fish and peas...also to serve over toast or saltine crackers, even noodles....mmmmm....}.

This sauce was used time and again by my mother, and as much as I have trouble remembering things....this recipe has stuck with me since childhood. Honestly, I think that this is the first time I've ever written it out. Almost like it's a part of me, right here {in my mind-heart} for whenever I want it ♥

I hope you enjoy it as much as I always have.
