  1. 1

    Gather the ingredients.

    Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then immediately remove it from the heat. Cover and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove them from the hot water, cool, peel, and chop.

  3. 3

    Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat; stir in the flour until smooth. Gradually add the milk to avoid lumps, stirring constantly until the mixture comes to a boil.

  4. 4

    Stir the white pepper, salt, black pepper, and chopped eggs into the sauce; continue stirring until the eggs are heated through.
