Ingredients

• 4 pieces Eggs
• 2 tablespoons White vinegar
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Milk
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Paprika
• 2 pieces English muffins
• 1 tablespoon Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Fill a medium saucepan with 3 inches of water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add 2 tablespoons of white vinegar to the water.

Step 2

Crack each egg into a small cup to make them easier to handle. Gently slide the eggs, one at a time, into the simmering water. Poach for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel to drain.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and whisk until smooth. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 4

Gradually add the milk to the butter-flour mixture, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring, until the sauce thickens.

Step 5

Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Remove from heat and keep warm.

Step 6

Split the English muffins in half and toast them until golden brown.

Step 7

Place each toasted English muffin half onto a plate. Top each with a poached egg, then generously spoon the sauce over the eggs.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
