When one means 'crème fraîche', is it what one can buy at any grocery store as a thick 'crème pour la cuisson', or do we actually mean something totally exotic, highly perishable, which can only get from public markets, specialized stores?

Crème fraîche is an almost sour cream. I used to have to hunt around a bit, but recently my local Provigo has been stocking it next to the sour cream. Liberty makes a decent one.

If you can't find it, substitute thick sour cream.

Unflavoured yogurt usually works, too.

In this recipe, I wouldn't hesitate to substitute, but other cases, the sourness of the yogurt is sometimes less than desirable.

Of course, I don't know about you, but I'm more likely to have sour cream over plain yogurt.

Alas, I highly doubt I can get crème fraîche conveniently here in LA- if I were to ever conjure up the ability to dance about with a frying pan. ;)

Looks super nummy!

I use a saucepan, which makes dancing a whole lot easier. The sides prevent spillage. :)

I should do that more often. Sounds good.

I highly encourage it!

The traditional English name for this is "shirred eggs". It's almost like a different dish. I remember reading an English cookbook writer's description of North American style scrambled eggs, something about their being "bullied into hard lumps".

Aren't shirred eggs actually oeufs en cocotte? They're not even scrambled at all.

That picture just makes my tummy grumble... and the eggs thing... one day when I'm not so tired and so darn hungry from skipping dinner, I will try it for sure. Sounds soooooooo good. Thanks for sharing.

This is pretty easy to make, it only takes about five minutes. Five minutes between a meal and me is a pretty good proposition.

kyotto September 21 2006, 18:36:09 UTC

Lol definately... but muffins out of the fridge takes about 2 seconds... tomorrow perhaps I will have better luck! :) *hugs*

You keep muffins in the refrigerator? Don't they get cold?
