Eggs cocotte
Here again are dishes that restaurants rarely serve anymore and yet always delight when you serve them to your guests.
For a supper count 2 eggs per person, 1 egg if it is served as a starter.

Ingredients for 8 servings

8 very fresh eggs
100 gr (3.5 oz) of duck or chicken confit gizzards
cut into small dice
150 gr (5.25 oz) of chanterelles just sautéed salted and peppered (keep 8 small ones for decoration) the rest cut the same as the gizzards
10 gr (0.4 oz) of dried porcini mushrooms ground or put in a pepper mill
15 cl (0.6 cup) of liquid cream (30%)
10 gr (0.4 oz) of melted butter
salt and freshly ground pepper

Step-by-step directions

1 Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F) (gas mark 5+)

2 In a non-stick pan, sauté the diced chanterelles and gizzards together for just 30 seconds.

3 Lightly butter your small molds (ramekins) salt and pepper then distribute the gizzard mushroom mixture.

4 Break an egg into each one, being careful not to break the yolk.

5 In a shallow dish line the bottom with newspaper* place your ramekins then fill with boiling water around to mid-height (bain marie) and place it in the middle of the oven for 7 minutes of cooking.

6 Meanwhile, reduce the cream slightly (1 minute) with the porcini powder salt and pepper then set aside.

7 6 minutes have passed, remove your ramekins, dry them then pour a little of the mushroom cream over each one and place the reserved chanterelle in the center.
Can be served with small toasted baguette strips.
(*) It's an old trick that prevents the water from boiling, remember it when you make set creams (custards, flans etc).
