Yesterday I realised experiments and discoveries have recently dominated my blog (hence the overwhelming presence of the Japanese cuisine I become more and more fond of). Meanwhile, I was forgetting write about the dishes I have been preparing for years… I have decided to look through my old recipe notebook more often and share with you more simple but delicious dishes I have been preparing for years.<\/p>\n
This messy-looking bread tartlet is one of my beloved lunch or brunch dishes. Sliced bread formed into a basket, filled with egg and ham, is simple, amusing and can be adapted to everyone’s taste. I still remember I found this recipe several years ago in \u00a0“Si simple, si bon!”<\/a> (So good, so simple) by Jos\u00e9e di Stasio, a Qu\u00e9bec tv food program star and I highly recommend this book to everyone looking for easy recipes with sometimes very impressing results (unfortunately I have no idea if it was published in English).<\/p>\n Jos\u00e9e di Stasio calls this dish “ramekins”, but I thought the word “tartlet” was more appropriate (I think it could also be called a “basket”). She also recommends baking the bread tartlets in muffin moulds, but I usually prefer individual baking dishes (ramekins) which are higher and make bigger baskets. Retrieving the tartlets from the ramekins may be delicate, but somehow even such a clumsy person like me has always succeeded, helping myself with a spoon.<\/p>\n Special equipment:<\/em><\/p>\n muffin moulds or individual round baking dishes, about 8 cm diameter (if the bread slices are 10×10 cm, but if they are bigger, take bigger ramekins)<\/em><\/p>\n Preparation: 25-30 minutes<\/em><\/p>\n Ingredients (for one bread basket):<\/em><\/p>\n 1 slice sandwich bread<\/em><\/p>\n 1 big (or several smaller) slice(s) ham or other cold meat (salami, chorizo, bacon), I used smoked pork loin here<\/em><\/p>\n 1 egg<\/em><\/p>\n butter<\/em><\/p>\n salt, pepper<\/em><\/p>\n (mustard)<\/em><\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 180\u00b0C.<\/p>\n Roll out the bread thinly with a rolling pin.<\/p>\n Cut off the crust (it burns easily).<\/p>\n Spread some butter on one side of the slice.<\/p>\n Butter the ramekin or the muffin mould.<\/p>\n Arrange the slice, buttered side out, in the ramekin so that it forms a basket.<\/p>\n (Put some mustard at the bottom if you like to spice up the dish.)<\/p>\n Line the bread “basket” with a slice or slices of ham.<\/p>\n Break one egg into the tartlet.<\/p>\n Put into the oven and bake until the egg white is set (this depends to your preference: I prefer the runny yolk but the white must be completely set).<\/p>\n Take out of the baked tartlets (separating from the walls with a knife and then scooping out with a spoon should do the trick), season with salt and pepper, and serve hot with a green salad, for example\u00a0Tomato Shiso Salad<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yesterday I realised experiments and discoveries have recently dominated my blog (hence the overwhelming presence of the Japanese cuisine I become more and more fond…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5762,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[80,77,184,71],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.withaglass.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5750"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.withaglass.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.withaglass.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.withaglass.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.withaglass.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5750"}],"version-history":[{"count":33,"href":"http:\/\/www.withaglass.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5750\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5776,"href":"http:\/\/www.withaglass.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5750\/revisions\/5776"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.withaglass.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5762"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.withaglass.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5750"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.withaglass.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5750"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.withaglass.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5750"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
