French Steamed Eggs (Oeufs Cocotte) is a classic French breakfast dish featuring eggs as the main ingredient, paired with cream, spices, and various other ingredients. Through a simple steaming process, it delivers a creamy and smooth texture. Not only is it easy to make, but it is also a common delicacy in French households. Whether served with toast, salad, or enjoyed alone, it provides a delightful culinary experience.
👉🏻✨DIRECTIONS:
Evenly spread butter on the inner walls of the steaming bowl to prevent the eggs from sticking.
Crack the eggs into the bowl, add heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and optional ingredients according to personal preference. Stir well.
Prepare a pot of water at around 85 degrees Celsius (not boiling). Place the steaming bowl in it and keep the heat on low, steaming for about 3-5 minutes or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain creamy.
Remove the steamed eggs and optionally sprinkle with Parmesan cheese or other seasonings for garnish.
👉🏻✨TIPS
Adjust the steaming time according to specific circumstances to avoid overcooking the yolks or undercooking the whites.
Spread butter on the steaming bowl beforehand to effectively prevent sticking.
👉🏻✨BENEFITS

👉🏻✨NUTRITIONAL ASPECTS:
Eggs are a treasure trove of high-quality protein, with up to 12.58 grams of protein per 100 grams. French Steamed Eggs retain most of the nutritional components of the eggs while adding cream and spices, enhancing both taste and providing additional fats and minerals. Eating French Steamed Eggs in moderation helps supplement protein, increase satiety, and is a good choice for a healthy diet.
