Earl Canteen, Victoria
Ingredients
40 gm hazelnuts
200 gm canned baby peas, drained
100 gm frozen peas, defrosted
10 gm butter
60 gm Taleggio
50 ml pouring cream
½ tsp cornflour
Pinch of finely grated nutmeg
12 large asparagus spears, trimmed
2 tbsp olive oil
4 eggs
1 sourdough baguette, cut into four, split lengthways
Preparation method
Serves 4
At Earl Canteen the eggs are cooked for 65 minutes at 65C, but you can soft-poach the egg instead. Prep time 20 mins, cook 25 mins (plus cooling)
Preheat oven to 180C. Roast hazelnuts on an oven tray, shaking occasionally, until golden (3-5 minutes). Cool slightly, then rub with a tea towel to remove skins, coarsely chop and set aside.
Simmer canned and frozen peas in a saucepan over low heat with 50ml water until warmed through (3-5 minutes), add butter, season to taste and set aside.
Warm Taleggio and cream in a small saucepan over low heat until Taleggio melts (3-5 minutes), remove from heat, whisk in cornflour and nutmeg, season to taste, cover and set aside.
Blanch asparagus until bright green (1-2 minutes) and drain. Heat oil in a frying pan over high heat, add asparagus and sauté until golden (1-2 minutes), season to taste and set aside.
Poach eggs in simmering water until soft poached (2-4 minutes), remove with a slotted spoon, drain on absorbent paper, set aside.
Spoon pea mixture over half of each baguette, top with asparagus and poached egg (coarsely break yolks with a fork), drizzle over Taleggio cream, scatter with hazelnuts, season to taste and serve.
