The breakfast of Champions...I imagine Rocky downing this. Actually it makes for a great starter with a light meal to follow.
Ingredients
- 1 quart of good beef consomme, homemade best, the kind that will gel when chilled shopping list
- 3 dozen oysters, shucked, with the juice shopping list
- 4 slices of thick white bread, toasted, cut in rounds shopping list
- 4 egg yolks shopping list
- compound butter- shopping list
- 1 stick of softened unsalted butter shopping list
- 1/8 tsp of mace shopping list
- 1/8 tsp of nutmeg shopping list
- 1/4 tsp of fresh ground pepper shopping list
- 1 dash of tabasco shopping list
- 1/4 of a lemon juiced shopping list
- 1/4 cup of finely chopped parsley shopping list
How to make it
- Mix the parsley, spices, hot sauce and lemon juice with butter.
- Keep softened.
- Toast bread rounds
- Heat the consomme to just under boiling.
- Add oysters until the edges "ruffle"
- Assemble dish as follows:
- Butter the toasted bread rounds with compound butter
- Set in the bottom of a shallow soup bowl
- Slide raw egg yolk very carefully on top of the bread round.
- Ladle hot consomme with the ruffled oysters very gently over the raw egg and buttered toast.
- The hot broth will gently poach the egg yolk and it will all meld into a delectable briny broth of goodness.
- Rich! Follow with a salad and lots of tart vinaigrette.
- Cheese and fruit would not be out of place as a final course.
