Long before the days of the supermarket, the meat for the day depended upon the hunter’s luck. If fortune ran out, he substituted a non-meat main dish. One such stand-in is this combination of poached eggs on toasted muffins with cheese sauce topping, called Golden Buck in honor of the one that got away.

½ C. milk or beer

1 T. butter

1 T. all-purpose flour

2 tsp. prepared mustard
