Egg and Truffle Casserole
Setting: Convection (1) /Quartz Grill (4)
For 4 people: 8 fresh eggs (if it is a starter, 4 eggs are enough); 4 heaping tablespoons
of fresh cream; dab of butter; small can of truffle shavings or thin slices of truffles or
of truffles in small chunks; salt; pepper.
Butter four small baking dishes. Break 2 eggs into each of the dishes, being careful
not to break the yellow. Salt, pepper, evenly distribute truffles and truffle juice, and
add cream. Put a little water in the bottom of the dripping pan. Put dripping pan at
very bottom level. Bake with door closed. Eight minutes before end of cooking, light
the top heating element (thermostat setting 6). Serve as small open-faced sandwiches
on toast.
You can replace the truffles with 100 g finely chopped baked ham, 100 g of shelled
prawns, 1 tablespoon of finely chopped mixed herbs, such as
fines herbes
, which con-
sists of mixed chervil, chives, parsley and tarragon, 4 very small slices of smoked
salmon, or a few braised white mushrooms.
Potato Gratin
Setting: Pastry oven (2)
For 4 people: 1 kg of Bintje potatoes; 1 clove of garlic; 6 thin slices of smoky bacon,
cut into small bits; pinch of grated nutmeg; 100 g of butter, melted; 100 g of grated
Swiss cheese (preferably Comté); salt; pepper.
Cooking time: 40 minutes with bottom heating element only lit, then 30 minutes with
bottom heating element and top heating element (thermostat setting 7).
Light bottom heating element 10 minutes ahead of time. Rub a baking dish with the
clove of garlic. Peel potatoes. Cut into thin slices, about 3 mm thick. Spread them
out in layers in the baking dish, putting a little grated cheese, melted butter, bacon bits,
salt and pepper between each layer. The bacon is salty, so you do not need to add
much salt. Finish off with a layer of cheese, then trickle butter over it, sprinkle with
nutmeg, and put under spit-roaster grill, at mid-height. Check cooking with a fork.
Serve this potato gratin with a, crispy green salad and, if you like, with thin slices of
cold meat for a tasty
meal.
Provencal-style Tomatoes
Setting: Convection (1) /Quartz Grill (4)
Count on 2 tomatoes per person. All tomatoes should be about the same size, and not
too big.
Cut tomatoes in half crosswise. Prepare finely chopped mince made of shallots, pars-
ley and garlic. Spread mince on the tomato slices. Lightly salt and pepper. Pour a
few drops of olive oil over the top. Butter bottom of dripping pan and put tomatoes
into it. Cook for about 12 minutes at thermostat setting 8.

This technology has been used with convection. The air is heated by a
standalone heating element and pulsed in by means of a fan; it is then uniformly
distributed, thereby allowing homogenous, perfect and quick cooking and defrost-
ing
The Turbo Quartz® technology enables the oven to reach a temperature of 270°C
in less than 5 minutes. It increases the inside temperature of 30°C and thus saving
30% cooking time
This way of cooking enables to cook without odours, without smoke, without
grease cooking while the taste and nutritional qualities of the food is retained .
