This was always one of my favorites, growing up. The recipe is originally from my grandma (my mother's mother), but my mom made it quite a bit. This makes for a great breakfast, but we almost always had it for dinner.
Ingredients:
8-10 hard boiled eggs, sliced (directions for the perfect hard boiled egg)
3 Tbsp butter
3 Tbsp flour
2 cups milk
1/4 - 1/3 block of Velveeta cheese (cut into 1 inch cubes)
Salt & pepper to taste
Bread of your choice (I used rye, my favorite)
Directions:
Melt butter in sauce pan. Once melted, remove from heat.
Add flour slowly, stirring constantly to prevent clumps, until smooth.
Add milk slowly, stirring constantly to prevent clumps, until mixed.
Once milk is mixed in, return pan to burner (medium heat).
Add Velveeta chunks, and stir frequently until sauce thickens. This may take 10-15 minutes.
You may need to turn the heat up slightly to speed up the thickening process. Be sure to stir constantly if it begins to bubble, to prevent it from sticking to the pan.
Once cheese sauce has thickened, reduce heat to low, add eggs, and wait a few minutes before serving (to allow the eggs to warm up).
Toast the bread of your choice, pour the egg/cheese sauce over top, and serve.
Enjoy :)
Have old eggs? Not sure if they're spoiled? Here's how to test your egg's freshness (mine were exactly one month old, and all but 2 were still fine):
