10 g good butter
10 ml double (or whipping) cream
method
1. Wash and clean the leeks carefully and slice, (not in rounds, but cut into 1 inch sections, then sliced into strips [juliennes], This causes them not to "squeak in my head", as one of my good friends described the experience of eating leeks). [You can substitute spring onions (scallions) if leeks are unavailable.]
2. Sauté the shredded leeks for about a minute in the butter.
3. Do not allow it to take on colour; the objective is only to soften it.
4. In a small ramekin dish, place a layer of mashed potato about 1 inch deep (2.54 cm!)
5. Place a layer of leeks on top.
6. Make a small depression and crack an egg into the ramekin.
7. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
8. Pour in the cream.
9. Place in a bain-marie and cook in a hot oven until the egg is cooked to your taste.
(Some like them runny, others medium cooked and others like bullets. Your call)
Variation: Add some finely chopped ham or cooked bacon on top of the leeks for a complete breakfast!
Enjoy!
