German Sweet Sour Eggs Aka Suess Sauer Eier Recipes

EGGS IN MUSTARD SAUCE (GERMAN EIER IN SENFSOßE)

Steps:

• Boil the eggs in a pot of water on the stove for approximately 10 minutes until they are hard-boiled. If you don't have an egg piercer, make sure to increase the temperature slowly (especially if the eggs come out of the fridge). Otherwise, the eggs might burst open during the cooking process. Once the eggs are boiled, rinse them with cold water and peel them. Then set them aside.
• In a medium to large pot, heat the butter on the stove. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Now sprinkle the flour over the onions and mix everything together with a wooden spoon. Make sure to mix well so that there are no flour lumps.
• Little by little, add in the vegetable broth and milk while constantly mixing with a whisk to avoid lumps from forming. Whisk in mustard, salt, and sugar and bring everything to a simmer.
• Add in the peeled eggs and simmer the sauce for another minute. Then serve and enjoy. In Lisa's family, this meal is typically eaten with boiled potatoes. You could also serve it with mashed potatoes or rice.
