Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 10 ounces canned tuna in water, drained
- 3 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled and diced
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons paprika
- 6 pieces biscuits (homemade or store-bought)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare biscuits according to package instructions or your favorite recipe. Once baked, set them aside to cool slightly.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 3
Once the butter is melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste, stirring constantly.
Step 4
Gradually whisk in the milk and chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Cook over medium heat, whisking frequently, until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 5
Stir in the drained tuna and diced hard-boiled eggs. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Step 6
Season the creamed tuna and egg mixture with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
Step 7
Split the biscuits in half and place them on serving plates.
Step 8
Ladle the creamed tuna and eggs over the warm biscuits.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy the comforting flavors of Grandma's recipe.
