These are very good, much better than the yoghurt ones.
The recipe calls for 4 x 5oz 1/2" deep and 3 inches across (I used 8 smaller ramekins)
8oz milk
small onion cut in half
Good grating of nutmeg
bayleaf
Salt to taste.
Place this in a small saucepan and bring slowly to fast simmering. Strain and set aside.
Melt 1 oz butter in a small saucepan
Add
1oz self-raising flour and cook gently for a minute.
Add hot milk and stir well till thickened.
Take sauce off heat and beat in 2 egg yolks (I ony had duck eggs this time and they worked very well)
Add 4oz roasted and peeled cold sweet potato, mashed (I use the orange ones)
Snip in some chives. (I tried this time with 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme and I think it overpowered the potato flavour)
Fold in well beaten egg whites gently and place into prepared ramekins.
I use 8 small ramekins, well buttered and finely grated parmesan cheese instead of flour. (I dont think the cheese did anything tastewise.)
Bake in a bain-marie for 15 mins.till they are set and feel springy. As they cool they will settle back into the ramekin.
Once cooled set them in the fridge until needed.
When ready to serve preheat the oven to 400*
Turn them out onto the palm of your hand then right way up onto a well buttered baking sheet.
Sprinkle with goat's cheese crumbs and a grind of nutmeg.
Bake for 20 - 25 mins.
I need a salsa or chutney to go with this....the fresh coriander chutney I have may be the answer.
