How to Make Eggs Au Gratin From Berne

  1. Gently sauté the thinly sliced onion in 3 tablespoons of butter over low heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent. Do not brown.
  2. Season the softened onions with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  3. Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and stir continuously for 1 minute to create a roux.
  4. Gradually whisk in the beef consommé (or chicken broth), white wine, and Dijon mustard. Continue whisking until smooth and fully combined.
  5. Cook the sauce over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens to a creamy consistency (about 3-5 minutes).
  6. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter until melted and incorporated. This creates a glossy finish.
  7. Preheat your broiler.
  8. Lightly butter a shallow baking dish. Crack the eggs gently into the prepared dish, trying to keep them relatively intact.
  9. Carefully pour the creamy sauce evenly over the eggs, ensuring they are mostly covered.
  10. Place the baking dish under the preheated broiler. Broil for 3-5 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked through and the sauce is bubbly and lightly browned on top. Watch carefully to prevent overcooking.
