This week Luisa Morón, from Cocinando con mi Carmela , brings us a recipe to show off mini-cocottes ! It is an easy and really appetizing recipe that can be made both on a daily basis and as a great first course for a family meal. This recipe can be prepared in both round and oval Le Creuset mini-cocottes (exclusive to Claudia&Julia!). Here is the recipe:
Since I was little I have been a fan of fried eggs, we can also call them casserole eggs or Oeufs en cocotte, the name they give it in France and the truth is that it looks very nice, right? As we already know, in fried eggs we usually use containers that resist and we also have to cover them with a fatty element, such as butter so that the egg does not stick to the walls of the mini cocotte . When I saw these small casseroles I could not resist. I knew that my next recipe would be this one. The combinations are whatever you want to give it, with cream, with tomato, etc... In this case I have cooked them with cream.
Ingredients (for each mini-cocotte)
- 2 tablespoons of liquid cream (the creamier and better quality, the better)
- 1 large egg
- 3 asparagus
- 1 tablespoon of chopped ham
- 1 tablespoon blue cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 180º and place a tray with water in it, which will cover our mini-cocottes up to halfway.
- Meanwhile, we grease our mini-cocottes, without reaching the edge - leaving one centimeter.
- In a saucepan, poach the asparagus, cut into small pieces, for about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Add the cream, the previously poached asparagus, the diced ham, the blue cheese and finally the egg to each mini-cocotte. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place the egg in a tray and cook it in a bain-marie in the oven. Let it cook for about 15 minutes until the egg white is set and the yolk is still runny. This will also depend on how you like your egg, whether it is more or less done.
- Ready to serve. In addition, there are many variations of vegetables and ingredients, leaving cream and egg as the base. I hope you like it and enjoy it.

Buenos dias, me encantas las cocottes, pero mi duda es… si se hace en el miroondas esta receta, las mini cocottes se tienen q tapar con su tapa para el cocinado? En el horno supongo q no.
Mil gracias por vuestro trabajo 😘😘
