75 g Walnut halves
3-4 Tbsp Ricotta cheese
7-10 Tbsp Salt
7-10 Tbsp Pepper
3 Egg yolk (size M)

7-10 Tbsp grated nutmeg
8 Eggs (size S)
200 ml Vegetable broth
100 ml Milk
100 g Whipped cream

Directions

1
Wash the potatoes and boil in boiling water for 25-30 minutes until soft. In the meantime, clean and wash the rocket and chop it coarsely, except for a few small ones for garnishing. Roast the walnuts in a pan without fat, then chop them finely.
2
Set aside 1 tablespoon of nuts for garnishing. Mix ricotta, nuts and chopped rocket and season to taste with salt and pepper. Drain the potatoes, rinse briefly in cold water and peel.
3
Press hot potatoes through a potato ricer. Add egg yolks and starch, mix and season to taste with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Fill potato mixture into a piping bag with star-shaped spout and squirt 4 rings (approx. 8 cm Ø) each onto 2 baking trays lined with baking paper.
4
Press 1-2 teaspoons of ricotta in the middle of each. Place 1 egg on each. Bake the potato nests in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) for about 20 minutes. Meanwhile bring the stock, milk and cream to the boil and simmer for about 5 minutes.
5
Cut the cheese into small pieces, stir into the cream and simmer for another 3-5 minutes. Season sauce with salt and pepper. Remove potato nests from the oven, garnish with rocket and chopped walnuts and serve with sauce.
