Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine the warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Add the flour and salt, then knead into a soft dough.

  2. 2

    Cover and leave in a warm place for 60 minutes. Coarsely grate and combine the cheeses.

  3. 3

    Divide the dough into 4 pieces and roll each into an oval. Roll the long edges inward and join the ends to form a boat.

  4. 4

    Fill each boat with cheese and bake at 230 °C for 12–15 minutes.

  5. 5

    Make a well in each filling, crack in one whole egg, and return to the oven for 2–3 minutes, until the white is barely set and the yolk remains runny. Finish with butter.
