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