Instructions
  1. Place the celeriac in a pan of well-salted water, bring to the boil, and cook for approximately 25 minutes; check with a knife. When cooked, drain the celeriac—make a thorough job of this as you do not want a watery celeriac mash.
  2. On a gentle heat mash the celeriac in a pan with butter, adding as much as you feel the celeriac wants to absorb. Season to taste.
  3. Now mix the celery leaves into the celeriac. Decant this mixture into a warm oven dish, and make eight indents in the surface of the mash, into which break eight eggs. Season the eggs and place two small knobs of butter on top. Bake in a hot oven for approximately 5 minutes, keeping an eye on it, until the egg whites are firmed up, but the yolks are still runny. Serve right away.
