Meal Nine - Rachel Khoo's "Oeuf en cocette"

Tonight I had to play catch up again, so out come a couple of dishes.

Firstly I had a go at Rachel Khoo's Oeuf en cocette. (Potted Egg essentially)

I have to say, for the first time in my blog, I was pretty disappointed with the outcome.

It was far sweeter than I anticipated and the creme fraiche wasn't far from curdling.

I know Rachel would kill me for using normal bread for the dipping, but at this time of night, it's pretty damn hard to get a freshly baked baguette for the "soldiers!"

I think that for this dish to be a success, it would need a lot less nutmeg and certainly less creme fraiche on the top of the egg.

From the photo (and indeed from the tasting) it just looked/tasted like a bad rice pudding.

Ingredients:

300g creme fraiche

1 egg

pinch of nutmeg

salt

pepper

Bread for dipping
