On Easter Sunday morning the first thing I would do is check to see if someone left me a chocolate rabbit during the night, the second thing would be to hunt for Easter eggs in the yard. Priorities! After the hunt my mother always turned my new found multicolored bounty into eggs goldenrod for breakfast. Its a simple breakfast that's fast and easy which makes it perfect for getting the family off to church. Not going to church? Why are you dying Easter eggs in the first place? Come on! Get thee to the chapel, it might do you some good. Without further ado, here's the recipe.
This makes four servings
5 or 6 hard boiled eggs
2 TBS butter or margarine (butter's better but if you must...)
1 TBS all purpose flour
1 cup milk
salt and pepper
toasted bread (I prefer white. Hey, this recipe's seriously white on multiple levels)
Peel the eggs and separate the white from the yolks and put the yolks aside in a bowl. Chop the the whites into roughly 1/2 inch chunks, put aside. Next heat a skillet to medium high and add the butter. When the butter melts, add the flour and stir until completely incorporated. Next add the milk and continue stirring until it bubbles and starts to thicken. Add the eggs with a dash of salt and pepper. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens to a nice gravy consistency then remove from heat. Spoon the egg mixture on to a piece of toast. Next take a cheese grater and grate the yolk on top until nicely coated and serve. You usually end up with some extra yolk so give the dog a little treat. Don't have a dog? Seriously, get a dog. They'll always appreciate your cooking! I hope you enjoy this little Easter tradition as much as I enjoy sharing it. Happy Easter!
