These "muffins" definitely are cute in addition to fifty-fifty though the bechamel sauce takes a chip to a greater extent than fourth dimension to make, it was rather slow to whip it up. I dear how the baked eggs are runny then when yous divide them open, they tumble out their golden richness on the plate. Super yum!


My alone electrical load was I could non larn my hands on Gruyere cheese then I settled for the less pungent Emmenthal that seemed to non add together whatsoever dimension to the creamy sauce. I estimate adjacent time, it volition live on a stronger cheese. And since I could non discovery my rolling pin, I substituted using a bottle of extra virgin olive petroleum to flatten those breadstuff slices. Since I had leftover sauce in addition to the breadstuff crusts, I used them to brand a savoury breadstuff pudding alongside a sprinkle of melted cheese.
