Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - ⌛ 15 min.

Prepare 500 g leek and slice into rounds but not too thinly.

Set aside.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 5 min.

Prepare 1 shallot and chop finely.

Set aside.

Stage 3 - ⌛ 5 min.

Beat 6 eggs, salt and pepper.

Set aside.

Stage 4 - ⌛ 2 min.

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.

Stage 5 - ⌛ 1 min.

Add the leeks.

Mix well.

Stage 6 - ⌛ 7 min.

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

Heat the plates.

Stage 7 - ⌛ 1 min.

Pour the beaten eggs over the leeks and leave undisturbed for 1 minute.

Stage 8 - ⌛ 5 min.

Use a wooden spatula to draw the egg from the edge in towards the centre of the pan.

Stage 9

Continue doing this until there is no more liquid egg left.

Take off the heat immediately. It is normal, and desirable, for a little of the egg in the centre of the pan still to be not quite cooked.

Stage 10 - ⌛ 3 min.

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

Remarks

Like in some omelette recipes, you can add a little cream to the beaten eggs if you wish, but it is not essential.

Keeping: Should be eaten immediately.
