Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Slice 12 hard-boiled eggs into halves and arrange them evenly in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Step 2: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter until foamy. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute until bubbling but not browned.
- Step 3: Gradually whisk in 2 cups of skim milk, continuing to stir until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 4-5 minutes.
- Step 4: Remove the sauce from heat and stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon white pepper, 1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, and 1/2 cup grated Swiss cheese until melted and smooth.
- Step 5: Pour half of the sauce evenly over the eggs in the baking dish. Spoon the eggs gently to coat, then pour the remaining sauce over the top.
- Step 6: Mix the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce and drizzle over the casserole.
- Step 7: Sprinkle 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese evenly on top.
- Step 8: Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
