Step 5
Place a slice of foie gras on top of the egg white in each ramekin.
Step 6
Add a few slices of truffle for an even more refined taste.
Step 7
Arrange the ramekins in a baking dish, adding hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins for a water bath cooking method.

Bake for 15 minutes, until the egg white is set but the yolk remains runny.
My Chef’s Tip
For a creamier texture, choose very fresh eggs and let them come to room temperature before using. This will avoid thermal shock during cooking.

Pair this dish with a glass of Sauternes or a dessert white wine to enhance the flavor of the foie gras.
