- Carrots : 2
- Leeks : 2
- Yellow oinion : 1
- Eggs : 5
- Milk : 12 centiliters

Preparation steps
-
After peeling, cut the carrots into thin slices (approx. 230 g).
Pour the milk into a saucepan and add the carrots.
Cover and simmer for fifteen minutes. -
After 15 minutes, check the carrots for doneness. They're done if the tip of a knife doesn't resist. If not, leave them a few minutes longer.
Remove from heat and blend.
The resulting purée should be smooth and creamy.Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
-
Remove the greenest part of the leeks and chop (approx. 180 grams).
Thinly slice the onion (approx. 70 g).
In a frying pan, cook the leeks and onion in a drizzle of olive oil (approx. 1 tablespoon) over medium heat for around 15 minutes. -
Be careful not to brown them too much. Lower the heat if necessary and cook for a few minutes longer.
The onion and leeks should be melting.
Remove from heat and add salt, pepper and a generous grating of nutmeg.Mix well and set aside.
-
In a saucepan, bring water to the boil and immerse the 4 eggs for 7 minutes (the 5th will be used for breading).
When the time is up, plunge the eggs into a bowl of iced water to stop the cooking process. -
Separate the eggs and prepare 3 bowls. One with the flour, one with the beaten egg and one with the breadcrumbs.
In the third bowl, where the breadcrumbs are, mix the Espelette pepper, a pinch of salt and a turn of the mill. -
Roll each egg in flour, then in beaten egg and finally in breadcrumbs.
That is, roll each egg in flour, then in beaten egg and finally in breadcrumbs.
Repeat this step a second time: flour, egg, breadcrumbs.
Take care when handling breaded eggs. -
Finally, heat the butter and the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan.
When the butter begins to foam, place the eggs in the pan and cook for 5 minutes. Baste regularly to obtain a nice color. -
To serve, place a crown of leek fondue in the center of the plate. Fill with carrot mousseline and place the egg in the center.
Bon appétit.
