creamed eggs on toast

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is a healthier fat option.

flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: cornstarch

Whole wheat flour adds fiber.

parsley

🥗Healthier: spinach

💰Cheaper: dried herbs

Spinach is nutrient-dense and adds color.

Hard boil 6 large eggs in a saucepan.

Melt 3/4 stick of unsalted butter in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat.

Add flour to the melted butter a little bit at a time to make a roux, aiming for equal parts of flour and butter.

Use a flat silicone whisk to prevent lumps in the roux and cook until it turns a nice golden brown color.

Increase heat to medium and add a little bit of half and half to the roux to make it rich and creamy.

Stir continuously until the gravy thickens and comes to a boil.

Season the gravy with a three-finger pinch of kosher salt and a little black pepper, adjusting to taste.

Add more milk if the gravy gets too thick.

Stir in the sliced hard-boiled eggs into the gravy.

Toast some English muffin bread and serve the hot creamy gravy over the toast.
