Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 10 min.

Prepare and thinly slice 2 shallots.

Prepare and thinly slice 4 leeks.

Stage 2 - 1 min.

Heat 6 tablespoons olive oil in a frying pan on medium heat. When good and hot, add the sliced shallot, salt and pepper.

Cook for 1 minute without colouring.

Stage 3 - 8 min.

Add the leeks and cook uncovered, stirring gently, until they are just tender.

Only add salt at the end of cooking.

Set aside.

Stage 4 - 20 min.

Prepare 600 g Scrambled eggs (Oeufs brouillés).

Stage 5 - 1 min.

When just done, take off the heat and add 200 g smoked cheese...

Stage 6 - 2 min.

...and mix until fully incorporated.

Stage 7 - 7 min.

Prepare 8 slices thin toast.

Stage 8 - 4 min.

Spread a generous layer of cheesy scrambled eggs on each slice.

Stage 9 - 4 min.

Top with the shredded leeks and serve immediately.

Remarks

For the bread, I recommend a rustic type, such as sourdough or seeded.

If you don't have smoked cheese, a normal cheese will do just fine (Comté, Cheddar...).

If you don't have time to make scrambled eggs, a small omelette will work instead.

Keeping

Should be eaten right away.

Classic italian recipe (the name means "pull me up" or more poetically, "take me up to the sky"). It's similar to a charlotte in its structure: layers of flavoured biscuits between layers of smooth cream.
