The book gives 4 raw eggs for the filling; it doesn't say how many eggs to boil.

Method

5 soļi
  1. Boil the 8 eggs for 10 minutes, cool them in cold water and peel. Halve them lengthwise and take out the yolks. Put the whites back in cold water (as the book does, so they stay moist), then pat them dry.
  2. Mash the yolks with the breadcrumbs and almonds, then beat in the raw eggs one at a time with the salt and nutmeg to make a thick, soft filling.
  3. Heat the oven to 180 °C (fan 170 °C) and butter a baking dish. Lay the whites in it cut side up, fill them generously and smooth the tops with a knife. Bake any leftover filling in a small buttered dish alongside.
  4. Bake for 15–20 minutes, until the filling has puffed, set and turned lightly golden (75 °C in the centre).
  5. Serve on the buttered spinach, or with a wine sauce poured over.

Notes

What the book says vs. what we added

the method is the book's: hard-boiled eggs halved, the yolks taken out and the whites put back in water; the yolks mixed with a little breadcrumb, finely pounded almonds and 4 eggs, beaten well, piled into the whites, smoothed with a knife and baked in a covered baking pan or the oven; served on boiled spinach, or separately with a wine sauce. The number of boiled eggs, the salt and nutmeg, the oven temperature and times are ours.

Filling

with 4 raw eggs the filling is soft and rises in the oven like a small soufflé. With 8 boiled eggs it fills the 16 halves well.

Wine sauce

the book means one of the wine sauces in chapter 5, such as the yellow wine sauce (05-001). For a quick version, whisk 150 ml white wine, 2 egg yolks, 1 tsp sugar and 20 g butter over low heat until thick and foamy (80 °C).

Egg safety

the filling is baked until set, so the raw eggs in it are fully cooked.
