Emile Henry Ceramic Mini Casserole
Ingredients (for each mini casserole)
- 1 medium egg, at room temperature
- 10 g fresh tender spinach
- 40 g coconut cream
- 75 g fresh salmon (or tofu)
- 10 or 15 g red or green curry paste
- 2 sprigs fresh cilantro
- Flaky sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper (optional)
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 200 °C (see "Tips" if you’re going to make them in the microwave).
- Finely chop the spinach and cilantro, and set aside.
- Cut the fresh salmon into cubes, about 1 cm. Set aside.
- Put the coconut cream in your Emile Henry ceramic mini casserole along with the curry paste and stir until well combined.
- Add the spinach, cilantro, and salmon, and stir all the ingredients with a teaspoon.
- Make a well in the center and add the egg.
- Put the lid on the mini cocotte and bake for about 11 minutes at 200 °C.
- When the cooking time is up, if you see that the egg is not set, let it rest for about 3-5 minutes inside the oven, with the lid on, so it finishes cooking with the residual heat.
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes on a wooden board.
- Before serving, remove the lid and season to taste with a pinch of flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve with fried rice balls, vegetable crudités, or bread. Whatever you prefer!
Tips
- Make the recipe in the microwave in 2 minutes! You can also cook the eggs in the Emile Henry mini-casserole in the microwave. Put the little casseroles with their lids in the microwave and program 750 W for 1 min 50 seconds, then let them rest for 3 more minutes before eating.
