Ingredients
Instructions

- Stir the curry powder mixture, parsley, and chopped hard-cooked egg into the remaining White Sauce.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, try adding a pinch of garlic powder or a splash of lemon juice to the sauce. If you don’t have curry powder, a mix of turmeric and cumin can work as a substitute. To enhance the texture, consider folding in some finely chopped bell peppers or peas. This sauce can also be made in larger batches and stored for later use in dishes like pasta or over rice.
Serving Suggestions
This sauce pairs beautifully with steamed spinach, broccoli, or asparagus as a light and nutritious meal. For a heartier option, serve it over cooked quinoa or rice. To elevate the dish, top with additional fresh parsley or a sprinkle of paprika. It also complements well with crusty bread or over a baked potato for a satisfying vegetarian meal.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover Curried Egg Sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove over low heat, stirring frequently to prevent separation. If the sauce thickens too much during refrigeration, add a splash of milk or broth while reheating to restore its creamy consistency.
