  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  3. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, stirring constantly until a smooth paste (roux) forms.
  4. Cook the roux over low heat for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until lightly golden.
  5. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of milk, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and is smooth (about 5 minutes).
  6. Season the sauce with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
  7. Stir in the diced egg whites.
  8. Toast 4 English muffins halves and place them on serving plates.
  9. Spoon the creamy egg white sauce generously over the toasted muffins.
