Hot tea

This is kind of similar to creamed eggs and curried rice, in that it's eggs in a creamy sauce, but the flavors here are pretty different. This has lots of veggies mixed in and no curry. It's fresh tasting and comforting. The cream sauce is made with skim milk, so it's even pretty good for you. We haven't had this in several years - far longer than since we've had creamed eggs. Regardless, this is yummy and both of us enjoy it.
Prep Notes
Difficulty: Easy
Chopping: Snap peas, squash, scallions, eggs
Time: 35 minutes (faster if you pre-cook the eggs)
Make ahead: This is best last minute.
Reaction
J: "Oh, yummy!"
M: "A creative egg dish."

It's been said that the average American family is stuck in a ten dinner rut, meaning they repeat the same ten meals over and over, week after week. I can't believe that's true, so here's a forum to write about "what's for dinner?". I want to cook a wide variety of meals that are tasty, easy to prepare, inexpensive, healthy, and sustainable. Is that too much to ask? I don't think so.
The very special posts

Egg Ragout –M & J (inspired by Easy Vegetarian Meals)
Serves 2.5
1 cup sugar snap peas, trimmed
1 ½ cups diced yellow squash
4 t butter
4 scallions, cut into 1” lengths
2 T blended flour, like Wondra

After placing in a small saucepan, cover the peas and squash with a small amount of water. Bring to a boil and cook for 2-4 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain well.
In a large sauce pan melt the butter; add scallions and cook until tender. Stir in flour until well incorporated. Add milk and cook over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Stir in cheese, mustard, and nutmeg. Add vegetables and cook, stirring, for one minute to warm. Gently stir in eggs. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve spooned over toasted bagels.
