EGGS LA GOLDEN:This is an interesting recipe that was given to me by an Amish family in St. Ignatius, Montana. Most Amish families there do own hens that give them an ample supply of fresh eggs. The eggs find their way into numerous dishes, including this one. The Amish cook who gave it to me called it "Eggs La Golden" and, boy, the photo seems to bear that color out!:). Check out the recipe!

The color of the egg yolks in the picture is wonderful- so different than the yolks of supermarket eggs.

Eggs Goldenrod have been around for years. They were a favorite Saturday morning breakfast at our home over 60 years ago, and we live in the Pacific Northwest! I've found similar recipes in old cookbooks. The eggs were also part of our post-Easter meals as I always found a bunch of colored eggs at the Church egg hiding.

Creamed eggs on toast is what I call this recipe. I don’t grate the eggs. I love my Kindle I have over 300 books downloaded on it. That way I can read what ever I want wherever I go.

I may have to price a Kindle!

My mother used to make sliced boiled eggs in a white cream sauce for us during Lent. We would have this served with salmon my mom sauteed in butter with a little bit of onions. Great memories. I loved this meal.
Kevin
Mmmm, with salmon, THAT sounds good!
Clara Mahoney
Yeah, that is egg sauce over salmon, I go a step further and stuff the salmon and bbq it then add that sauce to the salmon. My hubby is in seventh heaven then!

I've made a similar egg dish using the whole chopped egg and adding cheddar cheese to the sauce. It was a favorite for my children.
Kevin
that sounds like a tasty variation!
