INGREDIENTS
  • 200 g shelled peas

    4 eggs

    100 g Gruyere cheese

    80 g fresh cream

    30 g 0 type flour

    1 tablespoon of tarragon leaves optional

    Salt

    Pepper

INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Boil the peas in a saucepan with about 120 ml of lightly salted water for 5 minutes. Then blend them to make a puree.

  2. Beat the eggs in a bowl with the whisk together with the cream, salt and pepper. Then add the flour, dropping it from a sieve to avoid lumps. At this point add the mashed peas.

  3. Grate the cheese and mix it with the rest, at the end check the salt. If you like, mix the tarragon last. Distribute the mixture inside the traditional French "moule à cannelé" molds or, alternatively, in molds that are about 5 centimeters in diameter. You just have to bake at 180°C for 20 minutes. Serve the morsels as an appetizer, perhaps accompanied with the crème fraiche (French sour cream) flavored with pepper or other spices.
