Now my Mother is not the best cook in the world - at least hers and my taste buds are about as far apart as you can possibly get. But this is one recipe she makes that I cannot turn down. It is very simple - basically just white gravy with boiled eggs - but the eggs make the gravy taste amazing. She serves it over plain white toast and it's great that way. But I serve it over hot biscuits, and it is heavenly. This was a traditional Easter breakfast when we were growing up. All of our boiled Easter Eggs went into the gravy giving it a very special Easter tint.

    There are probably a hundred different ways you can tweak this recipe to suit your individual taste, but this plain and simple way is my favorite. Save any leftovers in a microwavable pitcher, so you can quickly heat and re-serve leftovers as desired.
