    6 large eggs
  • 2
    Lamb Kidneys
    2 lamb's kidneys, cleaned and prepared
  • 3
    Fresh Bread Crumbs
    1 cup fresh bread crumbs
  • 4
    Butter
    2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 5
    All-Purpose Flour
    2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 6
    Beef Stock
    1 cup (1/2 pint) beef or lamb stock
  • 7
    Kitchen Bouquet
    1 teaspoon Kitchen Bouquet or browning sauce
  • 8
    Salt
    1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 9
    Black Pepper
    1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a shallow baking dish or platter.

  2. 2

    Prepare the kidneys by splitting them lengthwise and cutting out the white tubes and fat. Scald in boiling water for 2 minutes, then drain and slice thinly.

  3. 3

    In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the sliced kidneys and cook, tossing frequently, for 3-4 minutes until browned.

  4. 4

    Sprinkle flour over the kidneys and stir to coat. Gradually add the stock while stirring continuously to prevent lumps.

  5. 5

    Add Kitchen Bouquet, salt, and pepper. Stir until the sauce comes to a boil and thickens. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Carefully break the 6 eggs into the greased baking dish, keeping yolks intact and spacing them evenly.

  7. 7

    Sprinkle the fresh bread crumbs evenly over the eggs.

  8. 8

    Bake for 12-15 minutes until the egg whites are set but yolks remain slightly soft.

  9. 9

    Remove from oven and immediately pour the kidney sauce around the eggs. Arrange the cooked kidney slices around the edge of the dish and serve at once.
