"This recipe did me well at a New Years Day get together at a neighbor's house. There were a number of vegetarians, so I was obliged to bring a vegetarian dish. I usually eat a high protein diet, so this was super by me too! Eveyone loved it, and many requested the recipe. This is from the Recipe Vintage website. Chris Gower hosts the website, and he submitted this recipe. I can't wait to try it when fresh tomatoes are in abundance. The 3/4 pounds canned mushrooms stated seemed a bit much to me, and I am a mushroom lover! I used 2 4 oz. cans, and I found it perfect. Add as much or as little as suits your taste. This is very buttery and filling. I stayed as true to the original recipe as possible, and don't worry about minor differences in the amount of particular ingredients. It's a forgiving recipe (I had to convert from metric to US)."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Cook and chop eggs roughly.
Step 2
Strain tomatoes, reserving juice(if using fresh tomatoes it might be good to chop the tomatoes and scoop out the insides and use the insides for the juice).
Step 3
Melt the butter in a pan and gently fry the onion, pepper and celery until tender. Add the four and tomatoes stirring until mixture thickens. Add the reserved tomato juice and seasonings, then bring the liquid to the boil. Stir in White Sauce, chopped eggs and mushrooms.
Step 4
Spoon the mixture into individual serving dishes or an oblong casserole dish, then top with bread crumbs and dot with the remaining butter.
Step 5
Bake in an oven pre-heated to 425 F for 10 minutes or until brown and bubbling.
Step 6
Sprinkle with grated cheese and parsley to serve.
