How to make Romanian-Style Au Gratin Eggs
Boil the Eggs
- Step 1
Boil the eggs for 10 minutes. Remove them from the water, let them cool slightly, peel them, and cut them in half.
Prepare the Filling
- Step 1
Remove the yolks from the boiled eggs and mash them into a purée. Gradually add the raw egg yolks, one at a time.
- Step 2
Add the grated Parmesan cheese, fresh cream, and season with salt and a bit of pepper. Stir well until you achieve a thick, creamy consistency.
Stuff the Eggs
- Step 1
Fill the hollowed-out egg whites with the yolk mixture, leveling it to the edge. Sprinkle a little grated cheese on top and place the eggs in a buttered baking dish.
Bake
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F) and bake the eggs for about 10 minutes, or until golden on top.
Prepare the Sauce
- Step 1
In a saucepan, combine the fresh cream, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a gentle boil. Let it thicken slightly, but not too much.
