Eggs Comtoise
Step by step recipe:
- 5 min.
Prepare one potato per person: hollow out the centre using a pommes parisiennes spoon or a teaspoon to create the "nest". Trim off the ends if necessary to tidy the shape. - 5 min.
Slice the rest of the potatoes. - 15 min.
Pan-fry the potato slices on both sides in a little olive oil, then salt and set aside and keep hot. - 5 min.
Fry the potato nests until browned all over.
Heat 250 g cancoillotte in the microwave or in a bain-marie. - 5 min.
Heat the plates.
Stand a nest in the centre of each hot plate and surround with the fried potato slices.
Slip an egg yolk into each nest and salt lightly. - 5 min.
Fill up the nests with hot cancoillote and pour a little over the potatoes. Serve immediately.
Remarks:
If you don't have any cancoillote, use any other cheese you like (but preferably a soft cheese) and melt it in a little cream.You may be surprised to see that the egg yolk is not heated beforehand, but it will heat through when in contact with the hot potato and cheese.
