This tasted exactly like the "Golden-Rod Eggs" that my mother used to make for me. Unfortunately, she unexpectedly passed away when I was 13, and she took all her recipes with her... Since I've grown up, I've spent a lot of time reconstructing recipes and tastes in my mind to fit childhood memories. Thanks for posting this one, it's nearly spot on! I had a little trouble with the roux part as my butter and flour became a big sticky ball. I tried to chop it up into small pieces with the flat of the spatula, but wasn't getting too far. I then decided that perhaps the cream would dissolve the roux, so I started to add the little bits of cream. Finally I had reached the full amount call for and I had what amounted to a stew of floating roux in a cream soup... I knew I had to have made a mistake somewhere so I quickly broke out my immersion blender and saved the meal in a couple quick pulsing froths. Once I achieved the desired creamy mixture, I added my chopped egg whites and reserved the yokes for a topping in a bowl after squishing them through a garlic press to make tiny cylinder shaped yoke beads. I submitted some pictures of what the final product looked like so please enjoy and know that my whole family loved the meal! We poured the tasty gravy over the wheat toast then topped with the egg yokes.

What a treat! I don't eat eggs very often, but when I do I like them creamy and no orange eye looking back at me! The first time I made this it was as written and was a keeper. Then I made it again and added a bit of lemon juice and a dash of smoked paprika. That was good to. This is one of those recipes that you will make again and again, and you can make it to your tastes. Creamy Eggs rocks! Thanks for sharing!

So good, rich, creamy and impressive After reading some comments about flavor I decided to add some fresh garlic and even a teaspoon of crushed red peppers (did forget to sprinkle with paprika which would have been pretty. Toasted homemade caraway rye bread to serve over with a side of bacon and even a special treat of Mimosas; oh so good. Love this and while can't have often with all the calories it makes for a lovely occasional treat.

Turns out to basically be egg-gravy over toast. I'd never considered making gravy using eggs instead of some kind of meat and was very pleasantly surprised to find that this works great! I used about 1.5 C of milk instead of cream and the consistency was just right. Definitely adding this one to my set of regular recipes!
