When I was a kid, my ma used to make creamed eggs on toast. It was one of my favorite meals for lunch, particularly when I was sick. It was basically sliced hardboiled eggs in a white sauce served over sliced toast.
Now I have the egg and toast part down pat, but I don't know what was in the sauce. :(
Does anybody have a recipe?

I use Pioneer brand Peppered White Gravy mix. It's the same thing and quick.
I love Creamed Eggs on Toast!!
If you want to do it the old way. It's just white cream gravy. Brown about 2 TBS of flour in about 1 TBS of oil. Then add milk and cook to consistency. Keep adding milk until it cooks down to the consistency you want.
I always make my gravy home made. But, for creamed eggs...the mix is the ticket!!

. . . that's why I asked! ;)
I'll try to find the gravy mix. If not, I will start from scratch and experiment. It can't be that hard! However, I think ma doctored it up with something. I just don't know what. :(
Thanks, TXPR

Your welcome JAW
Making gravy from scratch is one of the easiest things in the world to do.........AFTER you've done it right about a dozen times. :) Good Luck!

Here is an almost foolproof way to prepare the favorite weekend meal of the kids in Sargent.
Melt 3 tbsp of butter in a pan. Add 1/4 cup of flour, 1/2 tsp of dry mustard, and 1/8 tsp of pepper. It will kind of glop together. No worries. Add 2 cups of milk a 1/4 cup at a time while stirring. Put in a 1/2 tsp of Worchestershire sauce. Stir in the hardboiled eggs and ham and heat through.
Man, I'm off to boil some eggs right now..........

mannnnnnn, we used to eat, what my father called @#$# on the shingles, but it didn't have the boiled eggs in it, and had ground sausage instead of ham... haven't had that in years, but definitely got me thinking about what i'm gonna have for breakfast in the morning... gonna try it with the boiled eggs mixed in.... sounds yummmmmmmyyyy....

Yummy... I too love creamed egg on toast. My wife introduced me to this many years ago. The only thing different from what ya'll describe is we just put the chopped whites in the gravy then sprinkle the crushed yokes on top. yummmm. She makes the gravy from scratch using butter, flour, milk, salt, pepper...
Now talk about sausage gravy on biscuits --- outstanding....she has the winning recipe....breakfast, lunch(or as we called it dinner) or supper.

I know that the time for this kind of eating is now in the past but the way my mother used to do it was make the gravy out of bacon grease. I know, I know. But if you're just talin' about taste, that is very hard to beat.
Uh-oh, I think I feel myself about to be really naughty at breakfast in the morning. :)

hey walkin jack, i find myself more and more desireing the "food of the past"... and not just the bad stuff either.... we went to the store the other day, and i was thinking of my grandmothers (mawmaw) stingbeans.... fresh string beans, new potatoes with healthy pieces of bacon liberally mixed in... i don't know if it is because i haven't eaten it in years, or because i got lucky, but i sure came up with something that was very close.... i woldn't say exactly, because who's going to do it as great as mawmaw, but it still was pretty darn good... seems like everytime i go to the store nowadays, i remember things from my childhood, and want... some of them come out as remembered, some of them, i am still pursueing the way they did it back then...
