Cream of potato, artichoke and Iberian ham with poached eggs

This cream of potato, artichokes and Iberian ham with poached eggs At least for me there is nothing more delicious than mixing egg yolk with other foods that contrast in flavors and textures as in this recipe. In addition we have the creaminess of the egg yolk at low temperature with that of the cream and the crunchy touch of the fried artichoke slices. I love it! How about you?

INGREDIENTS: (for 4 pax)

• 4 medium potatoes
• 6 artichokes
• 2 medium scallions
• 3/4 liter of chicken broth
• 50 gr of Iberian ham
• 4 eggs
• 4 tablespoons of ideal milk
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Salt

STEP BY STEP RECIPE:

1. Cut the onions in brunoise and in a saucepan, cook over low heat with a little olive oil.
2. Meanwhile peel the potatoes and chop them and the artichokes (leave only the heart), cut them in half and if they have hair, remove it with a knife. Reserve two artichokes in water and lemon so that they do not turn black and the rest, together with the potatoes, add them to the pot with the broth and boil until they are tender, about 15/20 minutes.
3. Add the ideal milk and stir. With the help of a blender, blend everything for the necessary minutes to obtain a smooth cream. If you observe that there are any lumps, continue beating and if any fibers remain, strain the cream through a strainer.
4. Remove the reserved artichokes and dry them. Cut them in very thin slices and dredge them in flour on both sides, but shake so that there is no excess flour. In a frying pan put plenty of olive oil and when it is very hot (but not smoking), fry the artichokes until golden brown. Leave on absorbent paper to remove excess fat.
5. Crack an egg in a small glass without breaking the yolk. In a saucepan, heat water, and before it comes to a boil, add a little salt and a splash of vinegar, and stir with a whisk to form a whirlpool. Then carefully add the egg and let it cook for about 3/4 minutes, or until you see that the white is white. Remove with a skimmer and drain well.
6. Pour the cream on a plate, place the egg on top with a little salt, place a few artichoke chips and some diced Iberian ham. Repeat the process with the other 3 remaining plates.

I assure you that this cream of potato, artichokes and Iberian ham with poached eggs you will love it, it is a healthy dish, super complete and an explosion in the mouth!
