INGREDIENTS
1 shallot, finely sliced
1 large leek, finely sliced
¼ celeriac, grated
A few springs of thyme
Maldon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
50ml single cream
3 Free range, organic eggs
Handful of kale (purple or heritage)
Handful pea shoots
1 tbsp chermoula
2 tbsp soured cream
3 slices of sourdough, toasted
METHOD
1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan, add the shallot, leek and celeriac and cook down until softened. Add the thyme and seasoning, followed by the cream. Allow the cream to thicken and then remove from the heat and transfer into an oven proof dish. Make 3 holes in the mix for the eggs to sit and crack each one in.
2. Transfer to the oven and cook at 160°C until bubbling at the edges and eggs are cooked through but the yolk still runny.
3. Meanwhile, break the kale up into small pieces, coat with olive oil and Maldon salt and crisp up in the oven.
4. Meanwhile, mix the chermoula with soured cream and a little Maldon sea salt to season.
5. After taking eggs out of the oven, drizzle with the chermoula soured cream mix, garnish with crispy kale and pea shoots.
6. Serve in the middle of the table to share with toasted sourdough.
(Tip – Any leftover celeriac can be made into a Lunch time soup)
