Coddled Eggs With Wild Mushrooms And Creme Fraiche Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
• Fit a rimmed baking sheet with a wire rack. Place tomato slices on rack and drizzle with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Transfer to oven and bake until dry and wrinkled, about 3 hours.
• Increase oven temperature to 350 degrees. Brush two 6-ounce ovenproof bowls with butter. Place two slices of tomato in the bottom of each bowl, overlapping slightly. Divide cheese evenly between bowls. Crack 2 eggs into each bowl; season with salt and pepper.
• Place bowls on a baking sheet and transfer to oven; bake until yolks are almost set but still slightly runny, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven and preheat broiler.
• Spoon 2 teaspoons creme fraiche into each bowl and transfer to broiler. Broil until top is brown and bubbly and whites are set, about 1 minute. Sprinkle with chives and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place 1 tablespoon creme fraiche into each of four 6-ounce ramekins or ovenproof serving cups. Crack 1 egg into each ramekin, and season egg with salt and pepper. Place ramekins in a baking dish. Place on oven rack. Pour enough hot water into dish to reach 3/4 of the way up the sides of the ramekins. Bake until eggs are just set, about 14 minutes. (Whites should be firm and yolks runny.)
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, and cook, turning once, until tender, about 6 minutes. Add shallot, and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Add sherry. Return to heat. Cook until almost all of the liquid has evaporated, about 1 minute. Stir in butter. Season with salt and pepper.
• Using an offset spatula, remove ramekins from dish. Divide the mushroom mixture among ramekins. Garnish with chervil, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Line the bottom of a saucepan with a kitchen towel. Fill the pan with enough water to come just below the rim of the coddlers. Place over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil.
• Butter the insides of each coddler. Pour 1/2 teaspoon heavy cream in each. Add one egg; season with salt and pepper. Screw on lids tightly. Carefully place egg coddlers into boiling water.
• Reduce heat to medium, and simmer for 4 minutes. Turn off heat, cover pan, and let stand for 6 to 7 minutes. Remove coddlers from water, unscrew lids, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat half the olive oil in a large frying pan and fry the shallot for 5 mins until softened. Tip in the mushrooms, turn up the heat, and fry for 5-10 mins until all the liquid released from the mushrooms has evaporated and they're turning golden around the edges.
• Add the crushed garlic and fry for another 30 seconds, then stir in most of the tarragon, the beans, crème fraîche, 1 tbsp water and some seasoning.
• Use a spoon to make two dips in the mushroom and bean mix, and crack the eggs into them. Turn the heat to low and cover with a lid or a large baking sheet. Cook for about 6-8 mins until the egg whites are cooked and the yolks are still runny.
• Meanwhile, toast the bread and rub lightly with the halved garlic clove. Brush or drizzle with the remaining oil. Top the mushrooms and beans with teaspoonfuls of the yogurt, then sprinkle over the reserved tarragon. Serve with the garlic bread.
