Add salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg if you like a hint of warmth in your sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.Incorporate the Eggs:
Gently fold the chopped hard-boiled eggs into the sauce. Stir to coat them evenly, and let the mixture warm through.Toast It Up:
While the sauce simmers, toast your bread slices until golden and crisp.Assemble and Serve:
Place a slice of toast on each plate, then ladle the creamy egg mixture generously over the top. Garnish with parsley or chives for a touch of color and flavor.
