Creamed Eggs

Ok this is a recipe my mom came up with. She wanted a way to use up all the hard boiled eggs on Easter. We have it every year on Easter for breakfast. I make it more than on Easter with my family because we like it so much.

Ingredients:
4 hard boiled eggs
1 tablespoon of butter
1 tablespoon of flour
2-3 cups of milk
salt and pepper to taste
buttered toast


Directions:
First separate the yolks from the whites. Chop the whites to about the size of almonds. Mash the yolks with a fork until all crumbly, and add salt and pepper to taste. set aside for now.

Then make a simple rue. You combine the flour and butter in a medium frying pan on medium heat. Mix with a wooden spoon or whisk until well incorporated. Slowly add milk one cup at a time. Continue stirring the sauce until it thickens to about the consistency of a gravy. If you want/need more sauce add more milk and stir till it reaches the correct consistency. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Stir the egg whites into the white sauce.

Top buttered toast with white sauce and sprinkle with yolk crumbles.
