👨🍳 Instrucțiuni
- 1
Hard-boil the eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes. Immediately drain the hot water and run cold water over the eggs, or plunge them into an ice bath to stop the cooking and make them easier to peel. Once cooled, peel the eggs.
⏱️ 15 minutes (including cooling time) - 2
Prepare the roux: While the eggs are cooling, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and slightly foamy, whisk in the flour. Cook, whisking constantly, for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture is pale golden and smells slightly nutty. This cooks out the raw flour taste.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 3
Make the béchamel base: Gradually whisk in the milk, a little at a time, ensuring each addition is incorporated before adding more. Continue whisking until the sauce is smooth. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently, and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until it has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon. Do not boil vigorously.
⏱️ 7 minutes - 4
Add the mustard and season: Remove the sauce from the heat. Stir in the mustard until fully combined. Taste the sauce and season generously with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg if using. The sauce should be smooth, creamy, and have a pleasant mustard tang.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 5
Combine and serve: Gently place the peeled hard-boiled eggs into the warm mustard sauce. You can either leave them whole or halve them. Spoon the Senfeier over prepared boiled or mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired.
