How to make Shirred eggs (en cocotte) over refreshing greens
The eggs are good with anything. The salad and dressing are simply a particularly tasty option. Serves two.
Eggs
- Preheat the oven to 375 F
- Butter two small oven-proof ramekins or dishes
- Crack an egg into each, top with a crumble of goat cheese, a sprinkle of salt and pepper, and a half-moon slice of lemon
- Bake for 15 minutes or until set.
- For an extra touch, crisp up the tops under the broiler for about 45 seconds.
- Combine all dressing ingredients and either shake fiercely in a tightly-lidded jar or blitz with a food processor.
- Toss salad ingredients, arrange on two plates.
- Gently scoop out the eggs and lay on top of the greens.
- Give the whole thing a healthy scoop of the dressing.
- Serve with a crusty piece of bread.
