Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

10 large eggs
2 tablespoons cold water
6 green onions, white and green parts, thinly sliced, plus chopped green onion tops, for garnish
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage leaves
