Eggs Mornay

Cooking Instructions

Hard boil the eggs, cool, and peel. Set aside.

Prepare cheese sauce by melting the butter in a medium saucepan over moderate heat. Blend in the flour and slowly add the milk, stirring constantly until thickened. Mix in most of the cheese, reserving a couple of tablespoons (25 ml) to sprinkle on top. Add salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.

Cut hard-boiled eggs in half and arrange in a heatproof dish, cut side up. Top with the cheese sauce and sprinkle the reserved cheese on top.

Place on upper grill over medium heat until bubbly on top.
