"Oeufs rabattus" with leeks


"Oeufs rabattus" with leeks
This quick French way of cooking eggs is similar to an omelette, but with the egg simply drawn in towards the centre during the brief cooking.

The eggs here are cooked with sautéed leeks and served with delicious morteau sausage "crisps".

Step by step recipe


Stage 1 - 15 min.
"Oeufs rabattus" with leeks : Stage 1
Prepare 500 g leek and slice into rounds but not too thinly.

Set aside.

Stage 2 - 5 min.
"Oeufs rabattus" with leeks : Stage 2
Prepare 1 shallot and chop finely.

Set aside.

Stage 3 - 5 min.
"Oeufs rabattus" with leeks : Stage 3
Beat 6 eggs, salt and pepper.

Set aside.

Stage 4 - 2 min.
"Oeufs rabattus" with leeks : Stage 4
Pour 2 tablespoons olive oil into a frying pan on high heat. When hot, add the chopped shallot.

Salt and pepper, then cook for 1 minute without colouring.

"Oeufs rabattus" with leeks : Stage 5
Add the leeks.

Mix well.

Cook uncovered until the leeks just begin to brown, then salt and pepper.

Heat the plates.

Stage 7 - 1 min.

Stage 9

Transfer onto hot plates and garnish possibly with morteau sausage "crisps".
Remarks

This new version of tiramisu is easier, and in my opinion much better. You will certainly appreciate, like me, the light creamy taste, this time presented in brandy goblets.

Dublin fruit scones
Scones originated in Britain and Ireland. The Irish version is often made plain and traditionally served with tea. Scones are more of a bread than a cake, eaten split in half and spread with butter or jam, for example. There are also sweeter versions and scones with dried fruit, like the ones I have made here.
