Ingredients
- 8hard-cooked eggs
- 2onions, about ½ pound
- 2tablespoons butter
- 1tablespoon curry powder
- 1bay leaf
- 1cup milk
- ¼cup heavy cream
- Salt to taste, if desired
Preparation
- Step 1
Carefully cut the eggs crosswise into slices as neatly as possible, using a knife or an egg slicer. Set aside.
- Step 2
Peel the onions and cut them in half lengthwise. Cut each half crosswise into thin slices. There should be about two and one-half cups.
- Step 3
Heat the butter in a saucepan and add the onions. Cook, stirring, until wilted. Add the curry powder and stir to blend. Add the bay leaf and milk. Cook, stirring often, about 10 minutes.
- Step 4
If you wish a smoother sauce for the eggs, pour and scrape the onion mixture into the container of a food processor or electric blender. Blend until smooth. Return the mixture to the saucepan. Or leave the ingredients unblended in the saucepan. In any event, add the cream and salt. Remove the bay leaf and add the eggs. Serve hot.

Definitely puree the sauce. One tablespoon of curry is very subjective based on your spice tolerance level and the type of curry you will be using. The complexity of the sauce is surprising considering how few ingredients are involved. I bet duck eggs would add even more flavor to this dish. And thank you Gigi, I served it over buttered toast. Quick, easy, and delicious!
Ohhhh.... such fond memories of my mother making this, although, being originally Midwestern, she would have used a teaspoon of curry powder. She always served this over hot, buttered toast and we all devoured every bite along with a lemon juice & olive oil-dressed salad. Comfort food for any time!
