Ouefs Lorraine

I’m off for a little bit for some family time and plan to gather more inspiration for my menu! I thought I would share this recipe for Eggs Lorraine (like quiche Lorraine without the pastry) I found on a carton of eggs last time I was in France.

You’ll need:

  • 12 thin slices of bacon
  • 20 g butter
  • 12 thin slices of gruyere
  • 8 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons of sour cream
  • salt & pepper

1. Put the slices of bacon in a hot non-stick pan and cook until translucent.

2. Butter four large ramekins and place the bacon and a slice of gruyere on the bottom of each.

3.  Break 2 eggs into each dish, spoon a bit of creme fraiche around the yolks, sprinkle with salt and pepper.

4. Bake the eggs at 350F for about 20-25 minutes until eggs are lightly set. *Au miroir means that you cook the white of the egg to look as smooth as a mirror. The yolk is lightly set and a little runny.
