  • 2 lb (900 g) mushrooms, cleaned and sliced

  • 3 tbs butter

  • 1 tbs vegetable oil

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 tbs wine vinegar

  • 3 tbs cream

  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed

  • salt, pepper

  1. Prepare the frites, following the basic chip recipe and keep warm. Saute the cleaned -mushrooms in the butter and oil while you whisk together the eggs, vinegar, cream, salt and pepper and garlic.

  2. Put the frites in a large hot serving dish, stir in the mushrooms and mix in the egg mixture.

  3. It is important that everything is very hot, so that the egg vinaigrette is very slightly cooked.
