This "Eggs La Golden" recipe, or "Creamed Eggs on Toast" is an interesting recipe that was given to me by an Amish family in St. Ignatius, Montana.

📜 Tips For Great Creamed Eggs on Toast
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. For instance, for the shortening, if you have access to lard, use lard!
- Make sure the eggs are cooked through. Hard-cooked eggs should be firm to the touch and the yolks should be a deep yellow color.
- Don't overcook the white sauce. It should be thick but still pourable.
- Be careful not to overmix the egg mixture. Overmixing will make the eggs tough.
- Serve Eggs La Golden immediately. The dish is best served hot and fresh.

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.

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
