Eggs Golden

This is great for a Christmas breakfast. My husband, Bill, always had the job of peeling and chopping the eggs.

1 dozen hard-cooked eggs

12 slices toast or English muffins

Medium-thick white sauce

WHITE SAUCE

4 tablespoons butter

4 tablespoons all-purpose flour

3 cups milk

Salt and pepper

Peel the eggs and separate the yolks from the whites. In a small bowl finely chop the whites. In a separate bowl mash the yolks with a fork.

For the white sauce, in a small saucepan on medium heat melt the butter. Add the flour and stir until moistened. Slowly add the milk, stirring constantly. Add the salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a slow boil until the sauce reaches the desired thickness. Add the egg whites. Serve over the toast or English muffins. Top with the egg yolks. Garnish with parsley.

YIELD: 10 TO 12 SERVINGS
