Highly Recommend: This indulgent brunch dish at 'All Together Now' in Chicago.
As soon as I spotted “creamed eggs” on the menu atbe great? “Creamed” + “Eggs”=guaranteed tasty. What showed up on my plate at this new-ish all-day cafe in Chicago’s Ukranian Village was...not what I expected. I guess I was thinking something more British-y—likeInstead, imagine a warm, velvety smooth egg salad fit for some duchess or czar—that’s chef Abigail Zielk’s creamed eggs. She grew up in Wisconsin and got the recipe from her mom, who inherited the recipe from her very Southern mother.
As professional chefs will do, Abigail zhuzhes up the dish with some pro-level technique. She makes a basic roux and whisks in some heavy cream or milk to form what’s essentially a bechamel sauce. She then adds hand-torn, just-under-hard-boiled eggs, which she folds into the creamy sauce. The yolks melt into the bechamel, giving it a spring-timey yellow hue.
At the restaurant, Zielke serves the luxurious mixture over a bed of braised collards atop a thick slab of charred toast. A sprinkle of Aleppo pepper and a few pickled pearl onions help offset all that creaminess. I thought I would only make it through a few bites, given how rich the dish is. But I ended up demolishing it—it’s that delicious. An indulgent, but perfectly balanced brunch/lunch order. Which brings me back to zeroing in on the creamed eggs in the first place. Menus are like the SATs. Even if you don’t know which answer to bubble in , follow your first instinct. You’ll generally be right.
