*Traditional Scottish Recipes*
 *- Baked Cod and Egg*

*Egg sauce and cod blend together very well. They have been used in a number of traditional Scottish dishes. This one is simple to prepare.*

## Ingredients

- 4 cod fillets

2 ounces (60g or ½ stick) butter

2 ounces (50g or ½ cup) flour

1¼ pints (720ml or 3 cups) milk

3 hard boiled eggs, finely chopped

1 tablespoon butter

Butter for coating the baking dish

Pinch of nutmeg

Salt and pepper to taste

## Method

Butter an oven-proof dish and arrange the cod fillets.
 Melt the butter in a pan, add the flour slowly and stir over a low heat. Add the milk gradually, whisking continuously until it is smooth and creamy. Continue heating over a low heat for 2/3 minutes. Then mix in the eggs, the extra tablespoon of butter, nutmeg and salt and pepper. Stir well over a low heat.
 Pour the egg sauce over the cod fillets and bake for 20 minutes in a pre-heated oven at 375F/190C/Gas Mark 5.
 Serve with mashed/creamed potato.
