The house is way too quiet and lonely, so to make me feel better,this is in the oven.
Gratin of Hard Cooked Eggs.
2 Tbsp butter
3 Tbsp flour
1 1/2 cups milk
Pinch each S, P, freshly ground nutmeg (season generously)
1 1/4 cups grated Gruyere
6 hard boiled eggs
4 green onions
1 1/4 cups frozen peas
1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs
Make a white sauce with the first 4 things, take off heat, and add one cup of the cheese, stirring until melted.
Halve the eggs lengthwise, chop onions into pea size pieces. Place eggs, cut side up in buttered 6 cup casserole. Sprinkle peas and onions over top of eggs. Pour sauce over top, sprinkle with bread crumbs and remaining cheese. ( I mixed them in the cuininart with some fresh parsley and thyme).
Bake in preheated 450 oven until browned and heated, app 25 to 30 minutes.
I've got some cranberry pistachio bread, some semolina raisin, and some really great dark pumpernickel with caraway seeds.
And that, hopefully, will put a smile on my face.
