======================================================
Serves 8:
16 big fresh eggs
One bottle of red Burgundy
50 g butter
150 g diced bacon
200 g mushrooms
200 g small white onions
16 slices toast rubbed with garlic
750 cl chicken stock
3 cl Marc de Bourgogne
Brown the diced bacon. Add the onions and continue to fry until
translucent. Drain off excess fat. Cover with chicken stock
and leave to simmer. Sauté the mushrooms in butter, drain
them and then add them to the bacon and onion. Season with salt
and pepper, then leave to cook. Remove the mushrooms and bacon,
and keep warm. Reduce the sauce by ½. Poach the
eggs in the wine, and remove them when cooked. Place the cooked
eggs on warm plates. Put the bacon and mushrooms
back into the sauce and bring to the boil. Add the wine the
eggs were poached in, and the Marc de Bourgogne to the
reduced sauce and stir. Pour the sauce over the eggs and serve
with the garlic-flavoured toast.
