with broccoli

Wash the potatoes and cook them unpeeled in about 800 ml of salted water for about 20-30 minutes until soft. Trim and wash the broccoli, divide it into small florets, and cook it in salted water for 8-10 minutes. Peel the cooked potatoes while they are still hot, place them in a bowl, and mash them with a potato masher. Meanwhile, heat the milk with 2 teaspoons of salt, butter, and nutmeg in a small saucepan. Add this to the potatoes and mix. Prepare 4 nests from baking paper. 4 squares, each measuring 20 x 20 cm. Fold up each corner of each square slightly and twist them tightly together like a cord. Using a tablespoon, fill a piping bag with the mashed potatoes and pipe them into the nests to form a frame. Stick the broccoli florets into the puree. Depending on how hungry you are, crack 1-3 eggs and drop them into each nest. Season with salt and place on a baking tray. Bake in a preheated oven at 225°C (425°F), fan oven at 200°C (400°F) for about 15 minutes, until the egg is set. Place the tomato paste dots straight from the tube among the broccoli florets and serve the nests.
