Baked eggs with Mini Brie
Serves: 
4
Preparation time: 
10 min
Cooking time: 
15 min
Ingredients: 
  • 4 eggs
  • 50 g Ile de France Petit Brie (2 oz)
  • 160 ml single cream (5 ½ fl oz)
  • 80 g lardons (3 oz)
  • ¼ tsp. nutmeg
  • Butter for greasing the ramekins
  • 4 sprigs of chives
  • Salt & pepper
  • A little bread for serving
Preparation: 

1. Cut the Petit Brie into small pieces.

 

2. Brown the lardons for 3-4 min in a frying pan.

 

3. Bring the cream to boil in a saucepan with the nutmeg. Simmer for 3-4 min, allowing the cream to thicken.

 

4. Preheat the oven to 190 °C (375 °F).

 

5. Use the butter to grease the ramekins.

 

6. Divide the cream between the ramekins, add the Petit Brie, a few lardons and an egg to each. Season.

 

7. Bake in the oven for 8-10 min.

 

8. Sprinkle with the chopped chives just before serving. Serve with bread.

 

 

Serving Suggestion: Enjoy at breakfast or as a starter, perhaps with a little Mesclun salad mix.

 

Tip: If you prefer, you can replace the lardons with button mushrooms fried in 15 g (½ oz) of butter for 5 min.
