Instructions
-
Hard-Boil the Eggs: Begin by hard-boiling the eggs. You can do this by either simmering them on low heat (barely boiling) for about 20 minutes or bringing the water to a boil, covering the pot, and turning off the heat to let the eggs sit for approximately 20 minutes.
-
Prepare the Eggs: After boiling, cool the eggs by running cold water over them. Once cooled, peel the eggs and chop them into small pieces.
-
Make the Cream Sauce: In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the flour and 1/4 teaspoon of salt, creating a roux. Gradually add the milk, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
-
Combine Ingredients: Pour the thickened sauce over the chopped eggs. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and gently mix to ensure all the egg pieces are coated.
-
Add Paprika: Lightly sprinkle paprika over the mixture for added flavor and a hint of color.
-
Serve: Spoon the creamy egg mixture over warm slices of toast, and enjoy this comforting dish that can be savored any time of the day!
