Poached Egg Au Gratin with Black Truffle Cheese
If you are a cheese lover, the term "au gratin" needs to be added to your dictionary. "Au gratin", adopted from French culinary, refers to a dish that is baked with a topping of seasoned breadcrumbs and cheese. The au gratin topping should be golden brown, which can be achieved by baking or by placing the dish under a broiler. It's a versatile topper that's an easy way to add flavor and of course, more cheese, to numerous dishes. (source: The Spruce).
Our Poached Egg Au Gratin recipe is a modern take on both "au gratin" and your favourite brunch dish - egg benedict. If you are a fan of cheese and truffle, this will be the best thing that has ever happened to your weekend brunch.
For this recipe, you'll need: a pot, a small sized pan, a slotted spoon, a spatula, a lined bowl and a baking pan.
Pairing Suggestion: Enjoy with a glass of dry red wine, we recommend Cabernet Sauvignon or Shiraz..
