Eggs in Mustard Sauce with Spinach / Eier in Senfsoße


© 2023 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com




Eggs in Mustard Sauce (Eier in Senfsoße in German) is the ultimate German comfort food. Soft- or hard-boiled eggs with a creamy mustard sauce and they pair really well with boiled or mashed potatoes or even rice. Traditionally this mustard sauce is thickened with a roux, but I wanted to keep it keto and used heavy cream and German sour cream as thickeners. I have also added some toasted walnuts as a topping for some extra crunch, but it's completely optional.

 
  • 8 Eggs, medium (soft or hard boiled to your liking)
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 Shallot, minced
  • 2 Garlic cloves, peeled and minced
  • 150 g Heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp Wholegrain mustard
  • 100 ml Homemade broth (or water)
  • 150 g Baby spinach
  • 150 g Schmand (German sour cream)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Some walnuts, toasted and roughly chopped (optional)
  1. Boil eggs for 6 minutes for soft boiled eggs or 10 minutes for hard boiled one and gently lower eggs into cold water with a slotted spoon. Peel eggs and keep warm.
  2. Peel and finely chop the shallot and garlic cloves. Heat olive oil in a skillet. Sauté shallots and garlic in it. Add heavy cream, mustard and broth and bring to a boil. Add leaf spinach and stir in Schmand. Season mustard sauce with salt and pepper and arrange on a plate.
  3. Halve the eggs and place them in the sauce. Sprinkle with the chopped walnuts if using. Serve with boiled potatoes or rice if desired.

They always say here that you should eat spinach with eggs because the vitamins are used better then in them.

La verdad es que es una salsa muy sencilla para la jugosidad que imprime a los huevos duros. Las salsas con mostaza suelen gustarme mucho, creo que esta tampoco me defraudará.
Un beso.

I've never seen a dish like this before. It does look yummy though. I love seeing foods from other countries/cultures, and I would never guess this is comfort food. But I bet it is. hugs-Erika

I genuinely like the basic idea of this . . . but, as usual, have a problem with the Germanic ideas in this time and place. No way will there be ordinary cream in this home . . . and of sour cream possibly just a tad :) ! Don't like the European roux either but the dish sounds appealing for a weekend late breakfast/brunch . . . have to try perchance 'playing' with yoghurt and ricotta and a little sour cream . . . Eggs at about the same stage as Scotch eggs methinks . . .

This recipe for Eggs in Mustard Sauce sounds like a delicious and comforting dish to try. I love that it's a traditional German recipe that has been adapted to be keto-friendly by using heavy cream and German sour cream instead of a roux.

The addition of wholegrain mustard to the sauce sounds like a great way to add flavor, and I can imagine that the baby spinach would add some nice freshness to the dish as well. I also appreciate that this recipe offers the option to serve the eggs with boiled potatoes or rice for a heartier meal.
