Ingredients
- 6 lices Bread (white or wholemeal) crusts removed (I used 50/50 bread)
- Butter or margarine for spreading
- 1 tbsp rapeseed oil
- 150 g shallots finely sliced
- 70 g gruyere cheese grated
- 3 eggs large
- 3 tbsp milk
- 1 Pinch ground nutmeg
- cayenne pepper for sprinkling
- Freshly ground salt & pepper
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 180⁰C.
- Using a rolling pin, roll out the slices of bread until they are completely flattened (roll from side to side to encourage a more square shape).
- Butter both sides of the bread well.
- Press the slices of bread into 6 holes of a muffin tin.
- Gently fry the shallots in the oil until golden.
- Put half the grated gruyere into the bread nests, top with caramelised shallots and then put the rest of the gruyere on top.
- Season each nest well with freshly ground salt and pepper. (I find seasoning the egg mixture results in it sinking to the bottom of the bowl and staying there)!
- Whisk together the eggs, milk and nutmeg and pour into the nests and then sprinkle with cayenne pepper.
- Place in the centre of the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until cooked and golden.
- Once cooked remove from muffin tray, allow to cool and put in the fridge until needed or enjoy hot with your favourite salads.
