Supper Eggs


This was a great dinner after an afternoon of food shopping. Since we were able to get out of our neighborhood today, we ended up going to all four of our favorite grocery stores - our local Red Apple, the Cash & Carry at the bottom of the hill, PCC in West Seattle, and Costco. I bought provisions to make the next fifteen recipes, so here we go.

This one was simple to prepare. Thanks, Marilyn Cross!

Melt butter in a skillet. Stir in flour until smooth. Add milk, and cook until, like magic, it became thick. Add cheese and stir until melted, which was nearly instantaneous. Then add the black olives and pimento. Wait just a minute - my grocery stores don't sell pimento!!! We found plenty of pimento-stuffed olives. We even gave some thought to removing the precious red stuffing, but decided it was too labor intensive. So I made a substitution of 8 stuffed olives for the pimento. Next was to pour the mixture into a square glass pan, space six raw eggs across the top, and bake at 400 for 15 minutes. I served this on english muffins. It looked like biscuits and gravy; it tasted great.
