PREPARATION

Cut 8 x 1cm soldiers from the Sourdough bread. Finely grate the Parmesan. Slice the Prosciutto in half lengthways. Soften the unsalted butter.

  4.  Bake for 10-12 mins until crispy, turning halfway through cooking.
  5.  Meanwhile, lightly grease 4 ramekins with the softened butter.
  6.  In a bowl, combine the cream, Parmesan and truffle oil.
  7.  Season to taste and divide among the ramekins.
  8.  Sit the ramekins on a baking sheet and gently crack 2 eggs into each one.
  9.  Bake in the oven for 8-10 mins until the white is just set and the egg yolks are still runny.
  10.  While the eggs are baking, brush the sage with a little olive oil and put on a baking tray.
  11.  Bake for around 6 mins, until crisp.
  12.  To serve, crumble the sage over the eggs, together with a little extra Parmesan if desired, and accompany with two soldiers per person.
