90 Grams (3oz) Grated parmesan cheese

For Plating:

6 tsp Hazelnut Oil

Instructions

Prepare a hot water bain-marie (double boiler), ready and be sure that you have a steady 64ºC (147ºF).
Delicately add your 6 eggs (whole and intact), and cook them at this temperature for 1 hour. Use a thermometer to be sure of the steady temperature.
In the meantime, clean your porcini. Sauté them in olive oil and butter for 5 to 6 minutes.
Blend 2/3 of the porcini with chicken stock, heavy cream, salt, and pepper, until you have a fine purée. Reserve.
Bring milk, parmesan, ground black pepper and heavy cream to a simmer and mix with a hand-mixer, until it starts foaming. Reserve.
Warm 6 pasta bowls if you have some or 6 soup bowls work just fine.
Reheat the mushroom purée, the leftover 1/3 of the porcini, and the parmesan foam, each separately until warm.
Add a large spoon of purée, some sautéed porcini, and peel the eggs delicately, keep only the yolks.
Put the yolk on top of the purée, cover with a spoon of parmesan foam, a teaspoon of hazelnut oil, sprinkle a pinch of mushroom dust and enjoy immediately.

Cookn with Class Uzes

Cook’n With Class has been in operation since 2007 in Paris offering French Cooking Classes (in English), to visiting tourists and locals interested in learning about this very important part of French culture. The school offers classes from French Market to Bread Baking and Macarons. Chef Eric Fraudeau, who worked both in France and internationally, along with his wife Yetunde Oshodi-Fraudeau, opened their second school, Cook’n With Class Uzès in 2015 in the sunny south of France, this time focusing on Provençal and Mediterranean cuisine. They also offer a 5 day/7-night culinary holiday package (Week in Uzès), including accommodations, with tours, tastings and of course cooking.

A new addition to the Cook'n with Class repertoire are a wide range of options for online cooking classes for those of us who can’t make it to France but are still looking for an authentic French experience.
