    • Reviews

  • “I was skeptical about this at first – but with 4 kids I had a TON of Easter Eggs to use up this year! I just tried this (made a half recipe for 1 person) and it is SUPER YUMMY. Very creamy and delicious. I did add a few drops of Tabasco to the sauce just to give it a little zip and plenty of salt. I didn’t use a grater on the yolks – just rubbed them between my fingers and they crumbled very nicely. Thank you for the wonderful recipe!”

  • “I learned to make this in home ec too back in 1958 only then we served on toast.The English Muffins were different but a very good alternative.Made for the Easter Egg Hunt 2009.”

  • “This was yummy! I figure if they taught it in home Ec. 75 years ago, I should probably like it.I followed it to the letter, and I have to tell you, old fashioned recipies rule!Thanks for posting it!!!!”

  • “THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! My grandma used to make this for my sister & I when we were growing up, & we both loved it. We didn’t know how she made it and since she passed away we haven’t been able to find it, or even find anyone who knew what we were talking about! This is it..thank you so much-you have no idea how happy I was to find this!”

  • “Eggerific!!!”

  • “These were so yummy and the perfect thing for our Easter breakfast. Easy to prepare and quite colorful.I will make these every year from now on, adding some fresh herbs (chives, tarragon) and perhaps a bit of zest as well to enhance the flavor even more.”

  • “We make this recipe every year for Easter using our Easter eggs.My mom learned how to make it in a Home Ec. class 75 years ago.It does need some seasoning but is a family favorite.”

  • “My grandmother used to make a recipe just like this for my mom and her sisters when they were young. I’ve always thought I would like it but was never able to make it my house because my mom HATES this (She was forced to eat it so much as a kid). I finally found a decent recipe for it and I was right. I LOVED THIS! It’s classic comfort food and makes a great breakfast or a satisfying dinner. The key is seasoning the white sauce to your liking otherwise it can be very bland. Bravo!”

  • “This was nice, didn’t have much flavor though. If I make this again I would add some white cheddar cheese to the white sauce for some ‘zip’.”

  • “This is wonderful, we used to have something simular in the Navy not as fancy, more like golden chunk. This is a lot better.”

  • “I wasn’t really impressed with this recipe. I had pictured it coming out differently than it did. I may have let the butter brown too long. It did thicken up nice. I will try it again sometime though.”

  • “Sounds like a good one.”

  • “”Eggs Goldenrod” is a fondly-remembered dish from my childhood.Looking back, I realize that maybe Mom made it as a way to use what we had on hand during the depression … We lived on a dairy and I raised chickens for my 4-H project.So .. creamed egg dishes were ‘do-able’.I liked them, and I still do!I am happy to see a ‘recipe’ .. somehow, it was just something that ‘happened’ .. I don’t think that it was written down in our household.”

  • “Like the others, my mother used to make this for us when we were children.It is so easy to make and brings back a flood of memories.”

  • “my mother used to make this for us when we were kids but served it over buttered toast.A good way to use all the Easter eggs”
