Berry Gratin with Champagne Sabayon

By maredan

Ingredients

• 4 * 4 handfuls mixed berries
• 3 * 3 egg yolks
• 2 * 2 tablespoons caster sugar
• 3 * 3 tablespoons sparkling wine
• * Zest of half a lemon

Preparation

Step 1

Directions

1. Turn the oven on to grill with the rack about 6 inches/15 cm from the heat. Arrange the berries in individual gratin dishes and set on a baking sheet.
2. Prepare the Sabayon: Put the egg yolks, sugar, and wine into a roomy glass bowl. Whisk to mix. Set the bowl over a saucepan partly-filled with hot, but not simmering, water. Don’t let the bottom of the bowl touch the water beneath. Whisk until the mixture is frothy, pale, and ribbony, 5 to 8 minutes.
3. Remove from the water. Whisk in the zest and keep whisking a minute or two to cool slightly. Spoon the sabayon over the berries and place under the grill until the sabayon is bubbly and golden, a minute or two. Transfer to plates and serve immediately.
