Consommé à la Francillon
Origin: Paris, France
Source: Auguste Escoffier, 1907
Ingredients
- clear chicken consommé (Consommé de volaille clair)
- 1 small chicken forcemeat ring (couronne en farce de volaille à la Crème)
- 1 egg
- 1 spoonful consommé
Instructions
- Arrange soup plates on a work surface. On each plate, place a small ring of chicken forcemeat à la Crème (poultry forcemeat with cream). Crack one small egg into the center of each forcemeat ring.
- Spoon a small amount of consommé over the egg yolk. Transfer the plates to the oven and poach gently until the forcemeat is cooked through, the egg white is set, and the yolk glistens (miroiter — achieve a silky sheen).
- Once the components are cooked, add the remaining hot consommé carefully around the egg and forcemeat. Serve immediately.
