Lush and creamy eggs au gratin… Not sure why I have never come up with this drop dead au gratin recipe. We often have a couple of hard-boiled eggs in our fridge.
And here is why.
Whenever I steam vegetables or fish, I usually add a few raw eggs to the steam basket and let them cook at the same time with the rest of the ingredients. Now that is an easy way to get cooked eggs for later!
However sometimes I end up with too many of them.
No worries because look here how you can turn them into a great lunch! Eggs au gratin, this dish sounds highly delicious already but I can also tell you that the combination with the smoked is just perfect.
Easy Smoked Salmon & Eggs au Gratin
Gosh how I love that smoky smell once you pull that golden brown gratin from the grill…
It is truly mouth watering! I made a very simple white sauce to top off the eggs and salmon with. And also a little sprinkle of cheese then to give this gratin some extra flavor and to make sure that gratin gets the perfect golden color on top it deserves.
I will be making this gratin much more from now on!
It is a great way to use hard-boiled eggs without making the classic egg salad for lunch.

Yum.
I made the sauce for this gratin in my KitchenAid Cook Processor but a large saucepan will also do! For the step by step Cook Processor recipe: just scroll down to the second recipe on this page!
