Alba truffle duck eggs:
Cut the clingfilm into 6” by 6” squares, place this clingfilm into a cup. Place some olive oil in the clingfilm and crack the egg into the middle of the clingfilm. Bring the cling film together and tighten the egg at the top and tie with some butcher’s string. Repeat with the other eggs.
Cook for 5 and ½ minutes in boiling water, leave to rest for 1 minute and then open the clingfilm. Season the eggs with salt and pepper and slices of Alba truffle.
Spinach purée:
Sweat the spinach with butter and crushed garlic, drain the spinach once cooked but keep some of the liquid which should then be reduced. Blitz all ingredients together and season.
Grana Padano tuile:
Mix the ingredients together, divide the mixture into 5 little mounds on a silicon slip mat and bake in the oven at 200 degrees for 5 minutes until bubbly and golden.
Grana Padano milk foam:
Heat all the ingredients to 70 degrees, infuse for 30 minutes, pass through a chinois and add the sucro. Use a hand blender to create foam sauce when ready to serve.
Grana Padano mornay sauce:
Bring all the ingredients to a boil, except for the Iota, stir, leave to infuse for 15 minutes. Add Iota, bring back to boil for 1 minute and then pass through a fine chinois. Place the sauce in an easy foam gun and charge with two nitrous oxide gas chargers.
Keep warm until ready to serve.
To serve, place the cooked egg and the truffles slices on the plate around 12 o clock Place the spinach purée alongside the egg, use the isi gun to put the mornay sauce beside this. Decorate with the milk foam around the plate. Place the tuile onto the egg and garnish with chervil.
