  • difficulty Easy level

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp very soft butter
  • 2 rainbow trout, cleaned and scaled
  • 50 ml dry white wine
  • 1 egg
  • 50 ml crème fraîche
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 80 g freshly grated Gruyère cheese

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 150ºC.

Butter a gratin dish large enough to hold the 2 trout. Place the trout in the dish and brush them with butter. Add the white wine, then bake the fish for 5 minutes. 

Meanwhile, place the egg and crème fraîche in a small bowl, season with a little salt and pepper and lightly beat with a fork until well combined. After the fish has cooked for 5 minutes, pour the sauce over the fish and sprinkle evenly with the Gruyère cheese. Bake for another 15 minutes or until just cooked through.
