Yield: 4 Servings
Ingredients:
- 4 (6-ounce) ramekins
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 8 eggs
- 1 pound green garlic tops
- ¼ cup sake
- ¼ pound Honshimeji mushrooms
- Butter
- 1 teaspoon white miso
- ¼ pound crabmeat
- 1/8 pound fresh rock shrimp
- Beurre monté*
- ¼ teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 Tablespoons chopped Fines Herbes, such as parsley, chives,
tarragon, or chervil
- Piment d’Esplette (or spicy Hungarian paprika)
- 4 slices toast
* To make a beurre monté, bring 1 Tablespoon
of water to a boil in a saucepan. Bring the heat down to moderate
and whisk in chunks of cold butter, 1 or 2 at a time. Once the
butter has started to emulsify, more butter may be whisked in
faster. Hold the beurre monté between 160°F and 190°F
for poaching, being careful not to boil or it will break.
Method:
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Butter 4 (6-ounce) ramekins and season them with salt and pepper.
Crack 2 eggs into each ramekin and place in a water bath. Set
aside.
Blanch green garlic tops in well-salted boiling water. When the
garlic tops are tender, shock them immediately in ice water. Puree
them in a blender with water and the sake until smooth. Pass through
a chinois. Set aside.
Sauté the mushrooms in butter, and season with salt and
pepper to taste. Add the miso, crab, shrimp and buerre monté.
Cook over low heat until the shrimp and crab are fully cooked.
Add the lemon juice and fines herbes; season to taste with salt
and pepper and Piment d’Esplette. Set aside.
Cook the eggs over medium heat for 15-18 minutes, or until just
set.
To Assemble and Serve:
Re-heat the green garlic sauce. Spoon some over each ramekin with
eggs. Place seafood and mushroom sauté over the top. Serve
with toast.
