Here are the recipe steps:
- Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Add flour and salt and whisk together with the butter.
- Cook for 1 minute or until fragrant.
- Add half of the milk. Cook and stir until the mixture thickens.
- Add the remaining milk. Cook and stir until the mixture thickens.
- Add chopped egg, reserving some for a garnish.
- Serve creamed eggs over toast and garnish with chopped egg.

My mom made this for us 13 kids. We’ll be making it this Sunday at the campground. I’ll add ground mustard for an even better flavor.

Turned out perfect with a1/2t ground mustard. My husband never had it but ate 3 pieces of toast with this yummy dish.

My mom raised 5 kids on a military budget moving across the country and overseas 50 years ago. This was a favorite when we were growing up. My brothers don’t remember or don’t care for it much these days but it’s a quick easy meal that is filling any time of the day. I discovered 2 things about it. It’s easily adaptable for moderation or additional ingredients and my gen X and gen z boys adore it.

This is always asked for on Easter Sunday. Dinner could be being served and I still need to make this. For 40 years.
