Egg sauce is a treasure of Quebec cuisine, often attributed to Jehane Benoit, an icon of Quebec gastronomy. Our family-friendly version incorporates whole kernel corn for an irresistible crunch and a contrast of flavors. The potatoes provide a rich source of nutrients, while the eggs, a complete protein, make this dish a satisfying and nutritious choice for the whole family. Ideal for weeknight dinners and lunches. Try it in a vol-au-vent for an elegant twist!

Que de souvenirs! C’était souvent notre repas du vendredi soir car on ne devait pas manger de viande le vendredi. L’Eglise catholique prenait soin de notre santé…
Maintenant, on fait ça nous-mêmes en préparant des bons plats comme celui-ci. C’est bon au goût et excellent pour équilibrer notre alimentation. J’ajoute cette recette à mon menu. Merci
J’adore la sauce aux oeufs mais ma mère y ajoutait des choux de Bruxelles vraiment pas une bonne idée
Merci ça va me rappeler des souvenirs
Ma mère nous en faisait OMG j’avais oublié!!! C’est certain que je vais essayé la recette :)
