Ingredients
- 8 egg
- 3 1/2 oz crème fraîche
- 1 2/5 oz Comté cheese
- 1 shallot
- 1 tsp tarragon
- 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp butter
- to taste black pepper
- a pinch salt
- 4 tarragon or chives
- 1 baguette
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 356°F (356°F) using both top and bottom heat.
- 2In a mixing bowl, combine the crème fraîche, Dijon mustard, finely chopped shallot, chopped tarragon, black pepper, and a pinch of salt; stir until smooth.
- 3Grease four small oven‑proof ramekins with the butter, ensuring the sides are well coated.
- 4Evenly divide the crème fraîche mixture among the ramekins, then carefully crack two eggs into each ramekin, keeping the yolks intact.
- 5Sprinkle the grated Comté cheese over the eggs, focusing on the area around the yolks while trying to keep the yolks mostly uncovered.
- 6Place the ramekins in a deep baking dish and pour hot water around them until the water reaches about halfway up the sides of the ramekins, creating a bain‑marie.
- 7Bake for 11–15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
- 8Remove the ramekins from the water bath, drain any excess water, and finish each with fresh tarragon (or chives), a pinch of coarse sea salt, and additional black pepper.
- 9Serve immediately with thick slices of toasted baguette for dipping.
