Remarks
Be careful not to leave the eggs under the grill for too long - 5 minutes is a maximum, and they should remain soft if possible.

If you don't have Mornay sauce, a cheese béchamel will work just as well.

The Comté can be replaced by another cheese to suit your taste (cheddar, emmental, etc.).
Keeping: Enjoy immediately.
