Gratin Brain Croutons

Preparation:

Preparation: Scald the brains in a pot of boiling water, drain and remove the skin and filaments. Bring half a liter of salted water to the boil in a saucepan, immerse the brains in it and cook for about 10 minutes at a very light boil. In the meantime, brown the slices of bread on both sides in a pan with the butter. After the indicated time, drain the brains, cut it into rather thin slices and arrange these on the buttered bread. In a bowl, beat the eggs with the cream, a pinch of salt and a grind of pepper and spread the mixture over the brains. Sprinkle the croutons with the grated cheese, place them on the oven tray lined with aluminum foil and brown them under the grill for 8-10 minutes at a temperature of 180 degrees. When they are well browned, remove them from the oven, sprinkle them with a little sweet paprika and serve.
