Eggs in Cheese Sauce (also known as Eggs in Cheese Sauce or Cheesy Eggs) is a comforting dish that’s easy to prepare and perfect for breakfast or brunch. Here’s a simple recipe for you to try:
Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Gruyère, or your favorite cheese)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: chopped chives or parsley for garnish
Instructions:
-
Make the Cheese Sauce:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
- Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes until it turns a light golden color (this is called a roux).
- Gradually add the milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Continue to cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the shredded cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
-
Cook the Eggs:
- You can either poach or fry the eggs. For poached eggs, bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer, add a splash of vinegar, and poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny. For fried eggs, heat a bit of oil or butter in a skillet and cook the eggs to your liking.
-
Assemble the Dish:
- Place the cooked eggs on a plate and pour the cheese sauce over the top.
-
Serve:
- Garnish with chopped chives or parsley, if desired. Serve warm with toast, bread, or a side of vegetables.
Enjoy your creamy, cheesy eggs! They make for a delicious and hearty meal.
