Directions
-
Carefully cut about 1/2-inch from the pointed end of each eggshell using a serrated knife or surgical scissors.

Pour the raw egg contents into a mixing bowl and set aside.

Wash the empty eggshells gently in warm water and place them upside down on a clean towel to dry completely.

Melt the butter in a small saucepan over very low heat.
-
Beat the eggs vigorously with a whisk in the bowl.
-
Pour the beaten eggs through a fine-mesh sieve into the warm butter in the saucepan.

Beat constantly with the whisk, gradually increasing the heat slightly, until the eggs are thick, creamy, and softly set but not solid.
-
Remove the pan from the heat immediately.
-
Continue whisking while folding in the crème fraîche, chopped shallots, chives, salt, and pepper.
-
Place the dried eggshells upright in egg cups or a mound of coarse salt on a plate.
-
Spoon the creamed egg mixture into each shell, filling them 3/4 full.
-
Top each shell with approximately one tablespoon of caviar.
-
Serve immediately with toasted bread.
