This is an old-fashioned recipe, but everyone in the family loves this except for The Youngest, who still has aversions to “mixed foods.” She is barely getting friendly with mashed potatoes and gravy. Oh well.
Basically, this is toast with chopped boiled egg and a creamy gravy on top. It does not take long to assemble and many mornings I manage to fit it in.
I love this little kitchen gadget and use it several times a week. It cooks the eggs perfectly, and I NEVER have problems with the egg shells sticking. Did you hear that? NEVER. An egg cooker is not super pricey and quite small. My kids also like deviled eggs and egg salad sandwiches, and now we can have that with no trouble at all! Here is a LINK to the exact model I own.
OK, enough of the blabbing. Here is the recipe for this lovely little morning pick-me-up:
Creamed Eggs on Toast
2 T. butter
2 T. grated onion
1/4 c. plus 2 T. flour
4 cups milk
3/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
buttered whole grain toast
hard-cooked eggs
Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the onion. Cook until soft. Add the flour and incorporate as much as you can. It will be pretty clumpy because I have reduced the fat in the recipe significantly. Pour in the milk all at once and whisk to blend until smooth. Add the seasonings. Simmer until thickened.
To assemble: Place a piece of buttered toast on a plate, chop an egg over the top, and pour the sauce over the top. Garnish with parsley or paprika if you want (but really, who has time for that in the morning?) This would also make a lovely light supper.

Creamed Eggs on Toast
Let me just say I LOVE this dish, cream eggs on toast. My mom made it for dinner growing up. I never thought of having it for breakfast; good idea. Sadly, I only make it now when my husband is out of town because he thinks it is too bland. But I love it.
