Steps

  • Char halved leeks on a hot griddle until soft, then infuse in oil at 50°C for 5 hours before leaving overnight.
  • Blend egg yolks and mustard, then slowly emulsify with 500g of the leek oil and whisk in vinegar and lemon juice.
  • Griddle a whole seasoned leek until charred and soft, then cover with cling film on a tray to keep warm.
  • Brush baguette slices with olive oil and toast on the griddle to make croutons.
  • Poach two egg yolks in warm leek oil for six minutes over low heat.
  • Fry girolles in foaming butter, add vegetable stock, then stir in vinaigrette off the heat.
  • Peel charred leek, toss in vinaigrette, and plate with poached yolks, mushrooms, and leek mayonnaise.
  • Garnish the dish with toasted baguette slices and fresh herbs.
