heat the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions and peppers. Season
the vegetables with salt and cayenne. Saute for 2 minutes. Add the crawfish

Add one of the eggs, bread crumbs and cheese and mix well. Spread 1/4 of
the filling over the bottom of each ramekin. Crack two eggs over each
ramekin of filling. Season with salt and pepper. Place the ramekins in the
oven and cook for about 6 to 8 minutes, or until the white of the eggs are
firm but the yolks are still liquid. Remove from the oven and place on
individual serving plates. Spoon the Hollandaise Sauce over the top and
garnish with the remaining parsley. This recipe yields 4 servings.
