    List of Ingredients




    Bean and Egg au Gratin



    1 lb shelled lima beans

    salt

    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

    1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese



    Recipe



    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

    flour and cook gently, stirring, to make a roux. Remove from the heat

    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.
