Ingredients

  • 125 g Unsalted Butter
  • ½ Medium Brown Onion Red is also fine to use
  • 1 Garlic Clove
  • 1 tbsp Breadcrumbs
  • tsp Chicken Salt or to taste
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
  • 2 Eggs hard boiled

Instructions

  • Hard boil the eggs, peel and chop into small pieces. Dice the onion, finely dice the garlic and finely chop the parsley.
  • In a pan slowly melt the butter over low heat. Pour the melted butter into a jug and place the pan back on the stove over high heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute till the onion is translucent.
  • Turn the heat down to medium, add the butter and breadcrumbs and stir till the liquid starts to slightly thicken. Note: Remove from the heat from time to time if the sauce starts to bubble.
  • Remove from the heat entirely, add the parsley and stir till you get a runny paste. Add the chicken salt to taste and stir through.
  • Add the eggs and fold the eggs through the mixture. Then spoon the sauce over the cooked broccoli and cauliflower. Place under a hot griller or broiler until the top goes a golden brown.
