Comfortably Coddled Eggs

Today’s recipe is all about the comfort foods; curling up in a warm place and just allowing the smell, taste and warmth to heal the soul (goodness knows I needed some of that this week). My personal favourite time to enjoy comfort food is in the morning. There is something to be said about the healing power of waking up to the scent of fresh coffee brewing, bacon frying and flapjacks being flipped. In today’s recipe, we are going to use inspiration from “Restaurant Makeover’s” Jeremiah Bullfrog episode. I saw David Adjey make this dish and it blew me away. So, I woke up the next morning whipped together some of the ingredients, and had a wonderful morning breakfast while basking in some spring sunshine.


Prep Time: @10mins
Cooking time: 10 mins
Total time: 30 mins.

You will need (per serving):

1/3 cup cream
1 egg
2 Tbsp cognac pâté
1 bococinni cheese
2 slices Brie
½ tomato sliced
2 strands of saffron
1 sliced Panini bread
fresh parsley, kosher salt, pepper (to taste)

Pre heat oven to 375˚

This one is pretty easy. Take a deep ramekin and fill it with the cream and crack the egg into it. Throw in the saffron strands, fresh parsley and salt and pepper to taste. Place the ramekin into the oven for about 10 minutes. Slice your Panini into thin slices and place it onto an aluminium-baking sheet and pop them into the oven beside the ramekin(s) until golden brown. Serve the ramekin with the toastettes, bococini, sliced tomato, pâté and the Brie.

On top of being comforting and wholesome, this dish is also lots of fun to eat; dip the toastettes in the egg and cream mixture with or without the pâté or Brie. Enjoy!!!

This sounds like a great recipe. I love that it's already divided into a single serving since I'm the only one in my house that eats dairy. I'll be giving it a try.
