Egg Casserole Supreme
Ingredients
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • ground cayenne pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup dry bread crumbs, divided
Instructions
1
Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water, making sure they are fully submerged by about an inch.
2
Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat, then take it off the stove and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 15 minutes.
3
Carefully pour out the hot water and transfer the eggs to a sink filled with cold running water, allowing them to cool down.
4
Once cooled, gently crack the eggs open and remove the shells.
5
Separate the yolks from the egg whites, then chop each component individually and set them aside.
6
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
7
Grease a 1 1/2 quart baking dish with some butter or cooking spray.
8
Melt the butter over low heat and gradually stir in flour, creating a smooth paste.
9
Gradually blend in cream, stirring constantly as it thickens and reaches the desired consistency.
10
Season the mixture with salt, pepper, and a pinch of cayenne to taste.
11
In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites until they become frothy and mix them with the cream sauce.
12
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, then cover it with half of the bread crumbs.
13
Sprinkle the chopped yolks on top, followed by another layer of bread crumbs.
14
Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until it's bubbly and golden brown.
