Instructions

For the sauce: melt the butter in the pan and sweat the flour in it. Deglaze with milk and bring to the boil, simmer a little, stirring often and add some milk (or water) if necessary. Season to taste with vinegar, salt and sugar and add a little mustard if you like.
For the eggs: In the meantime, bring 2 liters of water to the boil in another saucepan, add salt and add a dash of vinegar. Beat the eggs one by one so that the yolks stay whole (preferably in a small bowl or ladle). Gently slide into the boiling vinegar-salt-water and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Take out the eggs, arrange them and pour the sauce over them.
Boiled potatoes go well with it.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
