QUENELLES
CARAMEL
** See recipe for Creme Anglaise.
In a large bowl, whip the egg whites until they are very stiff.
Add the vanilla bean paste. Add sugar (amount of sugar varies - it has
to bind the eggs).
In a large saucepan, heat (but do NOT boil) milk or water.
Shape the beaten egg whites into quenelles and float them in the
liquid to poach gently. After 2 minutes, turn the egg puffs with a
spoon dipped in cold water. Cook for 3 more minutes, then remove to a
baking pan. Drain the pan, and briefly reserve the quenelles.
Boil the sugar and water in a saucepan until it forms caramel.
Scoop Creme Anglaise into the bottoms of your serving bowls and
then place a quenelle in each bowl. Sprinkle with roasted almonds and
top with caramel sauce. Garnish with fresh fruit of the season.
