Creamed Eggs on Toast

This is one of the few recipes I brought to our marriage. Well, Aaron's mom made this too, but put cheese in it, and didn't always add eggs. This was a favorite breakfast food in my family growing up. We decided to have breakfast for dinner last night and chose this recipe - Aaron's family called it cheese sauce on toast. I don't really have a recipe, but I'll break it down for you.

Make a white sauce: equal parts butter and flour and stir in milk. what you want a recipe? J/K
1/4 c. butter or margarine
1/4 c. flour
1 1/2 c. milk
4-6 boiled eggs, shelled and sliced
1/2 c. grated cheese
salt to taste
pepper to taste
(our my family's favorite - Morton's seasoning)
toasted bread

To make the white sauce, melt the butter in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in flour (makes a roux). Pour in 1/2 c. milk and stir in until smooth. Return to medium heat stirring frequently. As it thickens add milk 1/2 c. at a time. When white sauce is thickened add cheese and stir until melted. Then stir in sliced eggs, and seasonings.
Break toast into bite size pieces on each plate (the kids love to do this by themselves) and pour sauce over top. So yummy!
