Eggs A La King

This dish is one of my husband’s favorites – simple and quick. I’ve been making this dish all the years of our marriage. You can also use Easter eggs, and eliminate the peas and/or mushrooms if desired for plain creamed eggs or Eggs a la Goldenrod (a much fancier name than plain creamed eggs.)
