3 hard-boiled eggs, sliced
1/4 cup butter
6 tablespoons whole wheat flour
2 cups milk
freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh breadcrumbs

Cook the beans in boiling salted water until just tender; drain. Place
half the beans in a greased ovenproof dish and place the eggs on top.
Cover with the remaining beans.
Melt 40g/1 1/2oz/3 tablespoons of the butter in a pan, stir in the

and gradually add the milk, stirring. Return to the heat and bring
to a boil. Cook, stirring, until thickened. Season to taste with
salt and pepper.
Pour the sauce over the beans and sprinkle on the breadcrumbs and
cheese. Dot with the remaining butter, place in a preheated hot oven
(220C/435F) and cook for 15 minutes until golden brown.
