For 4 serving

Ingredients

Eggs: 7 pcs

Milk: 300 ml

Vegetable broth: 300 ml

Butter: 2 tablespoons

Plain flour: 4 tablespoons

Mustard (medium-spicy): 4 tablespoons

Wine vinegar: 1.5 tablespoons

Sugar: 1 teaspoon

Salt: a pinch

Pepper: a pinch

Whipping cream: 120 ml

Chopped parsley: 1 tablespoon

Preparation procedure

Place the eggs in boiling water and cook for 4–5 minutes so they remain soft-boiled. Then quickly cool them in cold water, peel and set aside.
For the sauce, melt the butter in a pot, add the flour and stir until it lightly browns – a roux will form.
Gradually pour in the milk and vegetable broth, whisking well to prevent lumps. Cook over low heat for about 4 minutes, until the sauce starts to thicken.
Add the mustard, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper to the sauce. Then stir in the cream – do not cook further to prevent the cream from curdling.
Cut the eggs in half and arrange them on plates. Pour the warm mustard sauce over them and garnish with chopped parsley.
Serve with boiled potatoes or fresh bread.
