Prep Time 30 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 4 -6 servings

Ingredients

  • 6 eggs
  • 6 TBSP butter
  • 6 TBSP flour
  • 3 cups milk
  • Kosher salt and cracked pepper to taste
  • 8-12 pieces thick bacon
  • 8-12 slices bread

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 f and lay bacon out on rimmed baking sheet
  • Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan (enough to cover 6 eggs). Once boiling, carefully lower eggs into water and let boil 6 minutes. After 6 minutes, turn off heat and let sit in pot an additional 5 minutes. After 5 minutes remove eggs and place them in a bowl of ice water. Leave until cool enough to peel.
  • Once oven is preheated place sheet of bacon in oven and cook to your preference (check at 15 minutes). Once done remove to a plate lined with paper towels.
  • While bacon is cooking, in same pan you used for the eggs, melt 6 TBSP of butter over medium high heat. When butter is melted and bubbling add your flour, reduce heat to medium and stir constantly for 2 minutes (you don't want the flour to brown, but you want to cook the "flour taste" out of it). This is a roux.
  • After 2 minutes add your milk all at once, whisking well and making sure to incorporate all of the roux into the milk. Continue whisking/stirring, making sure to get into the corners and across the bottom of your saucepan often for 7-8 minutes, or until sauce is thick.
  • Season to taste with Kosher salt and cracked pepper. If using Kosher salt 1 to 1 1/2 tsp salt is good. If you're using table salt start with 1/2 tsp and adjust from there.
  • Peel and chop your hard boiled eggs (reserve 1 egg yolk for garnishing). Add chopped eggs to your sauce. Taste and adjust seasonings. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.
  • Toast your bread.
  • For each serving lay two pieces of toast on a plate, overlapping slightly, top with creamed eggs and sprinkle with a little crumbled egg yolk. Lay two slices of bacon over the top.

  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • This can easily be scaled up or down depending on the number of people you're serving. Just remember for each cup of milk you'll use 2 TBSP flour, 2 TBSP butter and two eggs.(1+2+2+2)
  • You can easily make this the day before for a fuss free breakfast in the morning. Just reheat the sauce over low heat (stir often) while cooking your bacon and toasting your bread.
  • I LOVE a good, thick peppered bacon for this recipe. Use whatever bacon you like but if you use thin bacon check it earlier than 15 minutes!
  • As a kid my favorite bread for this was fluffy white texas toast, as an adult I think I prefer sourdough. My mom served it at her bed and breakfast for years using three slices of baguette per person.
