Ingredients
- 1 cup egg yolks
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/4 cup Grand Marnier
- sandwich bread
- brown sugar
- white sugar
Instructions
Step 1
Carefully break eggs, separating the yolks and whites. Rinse the egg shells under cold water and leave to dry.
Step 2
Place a small piece of sandwich bread in the bottom of each cavity of a muffin pan. Make an indention with your fingers to create a nest for the egg shells. Ensure the muffin pan fits inside a large roasting pan.
Step 3
In a bowl, whip the egg yolks and sugar until very pale. Heat the heavy cream almost to boiling point. Slowly whisk the hot cream into the yolk mixture, stirring constantly. Let the mixture cool for 10 minutes, then refrigerate until completely cold.
Step 4
Pour the batter through a sieve to eliminate any foam. Divide the batter among the prepared egg shells. Place the muffin pan with the shells into the large roasting pan. Add hot water to the bottom of the roasting pan to create a water bath, then bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes.
Step 5
For the burnt sugar tops, mix equal parts of brown sugar and white sugar. Sprinkle about 1/2 tablespoon of this sugar mixture on top of each shell. Place under the broiler until nicely browned.
