Ingredients

  • 4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 raw egg yolk
  • 4 English muffins, buttered and toasted

Method

  • Separate the whites and yolks of the hard-boiled eggs. Dice the whites and set the yolks aside.
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour all at once, turn the heat to low, and cook, stirring constantly, for about 2 minutes. Then add the milk, stirring to break up any lumps, and cook for about 5 minutes, until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Put the lemon juice in a small bowl and stir in the raw yolk. Stir in a few spoons of the hot sauce and then stir the contents of the small bowl into the pot of sauce. Cook over low heat for another minute or two, until smooth and warmed through.
  • Stir the diced whites into the sauce and spoon sauce over the split English muffins. Grate or sieve a cooked yolk over each portion and serve immediately.
