Creamed eggs on toast is a breakfast dish in the United States.〔(Good Housekeeping ). p. 435.〕 It consists of toast or biscuits covered in a gravy〔(Entertaining on the Jewish Holidays - Israela Banin ). p. 36.〕 made from bechamel sauce and chopped hard-boiled eggs. The gravy is often flavored with various seasonings, such as black pepper, garlic powder, celery salt, Worcestershire sauce, sherry, chopped parsley and/or chopped chives. ''The Joy of Cooking'' recommends making the bechamel with cream and chicken stock and adding capers or chopped pickle. As with many other dishes covered in light-colored sauce, a sprinkle of paprika or cayenne is often added as decoration. The dish is often used as a way to use up leftovers, common additions include chopped ham, veal, chicken, lobster, cooked asparagus and peas. Variations include Eggs Goldenrod, made by reserving the yolks and sprinkling them over the dish after the cream sauce has been poured on the toast, and Eggs à la Bechamel, substituting croutons fried in butter for the toast and poached or soft-boiled eggs for the hard-boiled eggs. In this case, the cooked eggs are placed on the croutons and the sauce poured over both. In many families this dish has become a traditional Easter brunch fare. The tradition starts with everyone donating two eggs from their basket. Many times the white gravy will have remnants of pink or blue or green from the colored eggs which will add to this festive dish. The recipe was first discovered in Fanny Farmer's Boston Cooking-School Cook Book in 1896. ==See also== * Biscuits and gravy * Chipped beef on toast * List of bread dishes * List of egg dishes * Welsh rarebit 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Creamed eggs on toast」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
