Celeriac & Egg

1h 20m

Celeriac & egg is a great dish that can be served as an appetizer or as a main course, along with a salad or some grilled meat!

This dish is not only delicious, but it’s also a great way to enjoy celeriac in as many ways as we can!

This is one of the first dishes I’ve made when I took over a bar for a day!

  • Trim, peel, and dice 1 large celeriac into medium pieces

    Step 0
  • Trim and peel ¼ celeriac. Thinly slice ⅓ of it

    Step 1
  • Cut the remaining celeriac into 0.5 cm slices. Cut the slices into 0.5 cm wide stripes to obtain celeriac fries

    Step 2
  • Trim, peel, and dice 1 medium onion into medium pieces

    Step 3
  • Add 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil to a wide pot over medium-high heat

    Step 4
  • Add the diced celeriac and ½ tsp of salt

    Step 5
  • Season with black pepper to taste. Stir regularly to avoid burning the celeriac

    Step 6
  • Add the diced onion and cook until it is translucent and the celeriac starts to brown

    Step 7
  • Add 1 tbsp of butter and stir

    Step 8
  • Add 1 cup of heavy cream

    Step 9
  • Simmer over low heat for 20m until the cream is reduced by half

    Step 10
  • Add 3 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil to a skillet and warm it up over medium heat

    Step 11
  • Add 1 tbsp of butter and let it melt

    Step 12
  • Spread the celeriac fries inside the skillet

    Step 13
  • Season with salt to taste

    Step 14
  • Pan-fry the celeriac fries until fully cooked and browned, stirring occasionally so they cook evenly. Remove from heat

    Step 15
  • Add 3 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil to a skillet and warm it up over medium heat

    Step 16
  • Add the thinly sliced celeriac and fry in batches until golden brown on both sides

    Step 17
  • Place the celeriac chips over a piece of paper towel to dry them out

    Step 18
  • Transfer the celeriac and cream to a blender. Pulse on low speed until everything starts to comes together

    Step 19
  • Add ¼ cup of heavy cream and blend on low speed until combined, but still chunky

    Step 20
  • Add 3 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil and ¼ cup of heavy cream. Blend until smooth and adjust the salt if needed. The celeriac cream is ready

    Step 21
  • Fill a saucepan with water and add 1 tbsp of salt

    Step 22
  • Add ¼ cup vinegar and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat

    Step 23
  • Crack 4 eggs into coffee mugs or ramekins

    Step 24
  • Whisk the simmering water to make a vortex

    Step 25
  • Carefully pour the egg into the center of the vortex and poach for 2m until the egg white is opaque and cooked through. Transfer the egg to a clean kitchen towel. Repeat the process with the other egg. The poached egg is ready

    Step 26
  • Place 3 tbsp of the Celeriac Cream inside a plating bowl, and use the back of a spoon to create a nest in the middle

    Step 27
  • Add the celeriac fries to taste on top, leaving the center empty. Place 1 Poached Egg inside the nest

    Step 28
  • Season the egg with salt to taste, and cover it with the celeriac chips

    Step 29
  • The celeriac & egg is ready! Enjoy!
