Ingredients

    *Eggs-Wegmans Large Omega-3 -- 1 egg serv-400 mg Omega 3 per egg, 2 serving
    *Horizon Organic 1% Milk, 2 cup
    *Broth Vegetable Trader Joes Organic, 2 cup
    *Butter, pure irish (Kerrygold), 1 tbsp
    *Flour, King Arthur Unbleached White Whole Wheat, .15 cup
    *Grey Poupon Dijon Mustard, 4 tbsp

Tips

Can be made even tastier but non-vegetarian by substituting chicken broth for vegetable. Can be made even more tasty (and creamier) by using half-and-half in place of milk, if your arteries can take it. You could also add steamed baby mustard greens.


Directions

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter. Add the flour to make a roux and stir together for a few minutes over medium-low heat to cook the flour.

Whisk in the broth until smooth, and allow to simmer.

In a large bowl, beat the two eggs. Add the mustard and whisk in, then whisk in the milk.

Slowly add the hot broth and roux to the milk and egg mixture in a thin stream, whisking the whole while. You must allow the milk and egg mixture to "temper," heating it slowly with the broth, or you will wind up with curdled lumps of scrambled egg.

Return to the pot and heat through, without allowing it to come to a boil. Serve each helping over a half cup of lightly cooked green peas.

I usually allow people to adjust the seasoning individually.
