Directions

  1. The bread slices are cooked with butter or oil paint on one side only, without removing the membrane (the intestines). ≈ 3 min
  2. The heat causes this membrane to shrink, and the slices become tighter, like nests. ≈ 3 min
  3. We place one egg in each nest. ≈ 3 min
  4. They can be served like this, or on a bed of mashed potatoes. ≈ 2 min
  5. The mashed potatoes are placed in a heat-resistant container, lightly oiled and lined with flour or breadcrumbs, in which the bread rolls can be arranged side by side. ≈ 3 min
  6. We sprinkle it with grated cheese. ≈ 2 min
  7. Bake for 6 to 7 minutes before serving.
