Method

Steps

  1. Step 1

    For the proposed cream sauce, melt butter, cook flour for 1 minute without browning, then whisk in milk gradually. Simmer 4–5 minutes until smooth and thick; stir in cream, salt and white pepper and heat gently. Use the amount named by the dish.

  2. Step 2

    Poach eggs briefly in simmering water until whites hold. Heat oven to 200 °C and butter a shallow baking dish.

  3. Step 3

    Scatter half the crumbs and cheese in the dish, arrange eggs on top, season with salt, pepper and parsley, then add remaining crumbs and cheese.

  4. Step 4

    Pour warm proposed cream sauce around and partly over eggs; bake about 12–15 minutes until browned and egg dish heated through. Serve with toast separately.
