I learned this dish in a cooking class and loved it! It can be used as an appetizer or a main course. The original recipe calls for spinach, but I used green beans instead, and it was delicious anyway.

Steps

1

For the pastry:
2

Cut the butter into pieces and mix it with the flour. Add salt and form a well in the center.
3

Place the egg yolk and enough water in the center.
4

Knead quickly to prevent the butter from melting, as the unmelted butter will create layers in the pastry once baked.
5

The dough should not be smooth or uniform. Fold it into thirds, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
6

Meanwhile, boil the green beans.
7

Roll out the dough to a thickness of 3/4 inch and cut out 3-inch diameter circles.
8

Bake in the oven at 350°F until golden brown.
9

For the egg:
10

Boil water with 10% white vinegar in a deep pan.
11

Create a whirlpool with a spoon and gently drop the egg in one go without breaking it.
12

Cook for a few minutes and carefully remove with a slotted spoon. Place it on a plate.
13

Arrange the green beans, pastry circles, and egg on a plate.
14

Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese shavings and a bit of nutmeg.
