Oeufs en meurette

Oeufs en meurette is a traditional dish originating from the French region of Burgundy. The dish consists of eggs that are poached in red wine, as the wine's acid keeps the eggs nice and tidy and prevents the spillage that can happen during poaching. The eggs are accompanied by either a meurette or bourguignon sauce, consisting of red wine, onions, bacon, and shallots. This elegant dish is traditionally served with toasted garlic bread on the side.
