Ingredients

• white aspic (gelée blanche)
• half-egg molds
• scarlet tongue (langue écarlate)
• poached egg white
• truffles
• green beans
• poached eggs
• Russian salad (salade russe)
• dome mold
• croutons

Instructions

1. Line half-egg-shaped molds with white aspic (gelée blanche). Create a mosaic pattern on the bottom of each mold by arranging small diamonds of scarlet tongue, poached egg white, truffles, and green beans.
2. Place one poached egg in the center of each mold, then fill to the top with white aspic. Allow to set.
3. Separately, prepare a Russian salad (salade russe) and mold it in a dome-shaped mold that has also been lined with white aspic and decorated with the same mosaic pattern of ingredients.
4. At service time, unmold the Russian salad onto a serving platter. Arrange the egg molds around it. Garnish the entire dish with aspic croutons.
