Ingredients

• 6 large Eggs
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Milk
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 4 slices Bread
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and let the eggs simmer for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool. Once cooled, peel the eggs and separate the yolks from the whites.

Step 3

Chop the egg whites into small pieces and crumble the egg yolks into a separate bowl using a fork. Set both aside.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux, stirring constantly to avoid browning.

Step 5

Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Continue cooking the sauce over medium heat until it thickens, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Season the white sauce with salt and black pepper. Stir in the chopped egg whites and remove the saucepan from heat.

Step 7

Toast the bread slices until golden brown. Place each slice on a plate and generously spoon the egg white and sauce mixture over the top.

Step 8

Sprinkle the crumbled egg yolks over the sauce to create the 'goldenrod' effect. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy this comforting and classic goldenrod eggs dish!
