  • Recipe preparation steps

  • 1
    Prepare a selection of vegetables in sufficient quantity to make a layer across the bottom of a medium-size frying pan. Some possible vegetables include peas, fava beans, carrots, green beans, turnips, sweet red peppers, and onions. Peas and fava beans should be blanched and peeled. Carrots and turnips should be cut into a fine julienne and blanched. Green beans should be blanched and, if large, cut into slivers. All blanching should be done in separate pots of heavily salted water. After blanching, the vegetables should be chilled in an ice bath and well drained. The peppers and onions should be cut into a fine julienne.

    In the meantime, break the eggs into a bowl. Season the eggs with salt and pepper. Beat the eggs with a fork until just mixed.

    Spread the vegetables evenly across the frying pan and slowly pour the eggs over the top. If necessary, smooth out the vegetables. Arrange the cauliflower florets on the eggs and place the frying pan in the oven. Bake until the eggs are set, about 8 minutes.

    If using, prepare the sauce Bechamel: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and stir to dissolve. Cook for a minute or two. Slowly whisk in the milk. Season with salt and the two peppers. Whisk continuously until the sauce thickens. Set aside and keep warm until the eggs are ready.
