Ingredients

8 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 cups heavy cream

Pinch kosher salt

4 ounces cream cheese

4 ounces grated muenster cheese

1 tablespoon white vinegar

4 large eggs

1 baguette

Chopped fresh chives, for garnish

Directions

  1. Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the cream and bring to a simmer. Turn off the heat and add the salt and cheeses. Let sit for a minute or 2, and then stir to melt the cheeses completely. Cover and keep warm.
  2. Bring a medium skillet of water to a very gentle simmer and add the white vinegar. Crack an egg into a small dish and carefully slip it into the water. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, depending on how hard or soft you like your yolk. Remove with a slotted spoon onto a paper-towel-lined plate. Continue with the rest of the eggs.
  3. Split the baguette and toast it under the broiler. Slather with the remaining butter and cut into slices.
  4. Fill individual bowls with the cheese mixture and top with the poached eggs. Garnish with chives and serve with the toasted bread.

Made this for Sunday brunch, my son absolutely loved it. At first I was intimidated by Fondue, but Sandra's video and directions made it very easy. This is a very rich dish which is wonderful for special occasions. Be mindful of folding over several paper towels to drain the poached egg on, I learned my lesson on the first egg as I didn't layer the paper towels enough and it was difficult to lift the poached egg of of the very wet paper towel without breaking it.
