French Coddled Egg

The white is just set and the yolk is runny: pure indulgence! Make it even more decadent with thick crème fraîche, crispy bacon or sauteed mushrooms... 

Ingredients For

Preparation

1

Preheat the oven to 230 °C on the broil setting. Butter 4 ramekins. Separate the eggs, putting one white in each ramekin and setting the yolks aside. Place the ramekins in a large pot and add cold water until it comes up to 3/4 of their height.

2

Cook the egg whites over low heat until they start to set (about 10 minutes).

3

Meanwhile, slice the bread into 8 nice strips. Toast them in a fry pan with the butter and olive oil.

4

Remove the ramekins from the pot. Gentle place one raw yolk on each cooked egg white. Place the ramekins under the oven broiler for 3 minutes. Remove the Baked Eggs from the oven. Garnish each ramekin with a pinch of fleur de sel and a bit of freshly ground pepper. Serve with the crispy toast strips.
