3
large eggs
75
ml
| 2 1/2 fl oz double cream
60
g
| 2oz grated Grana Padano
plus an extra tbsp to sprinkle
1
medium leek
finely diced
100
g
| 3 1/2oz button mushrooms
quartered
100
g
| 3 1/2oz fresh baby spinach
roughly chopped
1
tbsp
finely chopped flat leaf parsley to garnish
salt and freshly ground pepper to season
1
tbsp
rapeseed
canola oil for frying
2
tbsp
butter
melted to brush the bread
6
slices
Prosciutto di San Daniele to serve
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180C (350F). Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper.
Add the oil to a non-stick frying pan and pan fry the leek until soft – about 5 minutes.
Add the mushrooms and cook for a further 5 minutes. Stir in the spinach and fry until it wilts. Leave to cool while you prepare the bread.
Cut a slit into your baguettes and hollow them out using a teaspoon. Keep the crust intact.
Put the eggs and cream in a bowl and whisk together using a balloon whisk.
Add the grated cheese and fold in the cooked vegetables. Season with salt and pepper.
Fill your egg boats 3/4 of the way (the filling with puff in the oven) and place on the baking tray, spaced slightly apart.
Cook for 20 minutes, remove from the oven and brush the bread with the melted butter.
Sprinkle with a little extra grated cheese and cover with foil.
Cook for a further 10 minutes or until the filling is puffed and firm. Leave to cool.
Arrange a slice of prosciutto on each egg boat and sprinkle with parsley to serve.
