Share:
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 30 g/ 1 oz/ ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 250 ml/ 8.5 fl.oz/ 1 cup vegetable broth
- 100 ml/ 3.4 fl.oz/ ⅓ cup heavy/double cream
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 pinches sugar
- 4 tablespoons chopped dill fresh or frozen (not dried)
Instructions
Hard-boiled eggs:
- Place the eggs in a large saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil, then remove the saucepan from the heat. Leave to stand, covered for 12 minutes.
- Place the eggs in a colander and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Let the eggs cool down for a few minutes, then peel and halve them.
Mustard sauce:
- Melt the butter in a saucepan large enough to hold all the eggs in the end.
- Sprinkle the flour in the saucepan and stir well for about 1 -2 minutes until the flour becomes a bit yellow, but doesn't get too dark.
- Start adding the vegetable broth, little by little, whisking constantly to avoid your sauce getting clumpy. In the end, the mixture should be very smooth.
- Add the heavy cream, bring to a boil, and cook, stirring very often, until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a wooden spoon. That should take about 5 to 8 minutes.
- Add the mustard, lemon juice, sugar, and dill, and stir well. Adjust the taste with salt, white pepper, and more lemon juice or sugar if necessary.
- Place the egg halves in the saucepan, stir very gently to cover with sauce, and heat through for a few minutes.
- Serve immediately with boiled potatoes and green salad.
