Ingredients for 4 servings
120 g frozen peas
Salt
1 spring onion
1 sprig of sage
4 tbsp crème fraîche
4 eggs size L
ground black pepper
Aside from that
Parsley and cheese biscuits for garnish
preparation
Blanch the peas in boiling salted water for 1-2 minutes, drain, refresh and allow to drain.
Clean and wash the spring onions and slice them into fine rings. Wash the sage, shake it dry, and finely chop the leaves.
Mix the peas, spring onions, and sage and divide them between 4 ovenproof dishes (approx. 12 cm in diameter). Top each with a dollop of crème fraîche. Crack an egg into each dish and let it slide over the top.
Grind with pepper, season with salt, and place the molds in a deep baking tray. Pour in about 2 cm of hot water and let the oeufs cocotte set in the oven for 10–15 minutes.
Serve garnished with parsley and cheese biscuits.
