It can be prepared with feves that have been frozen fresh, but I would not recommend using dried beans. This recipe should work fine with both American all purpose and French type 55 flour, as the quantity called for is slight in comparison to the other ingredients. Blanche the feves a large pot of boiling salted water and refresh in cold water. Drain and reserve. Combine the eggs, the milk and cream in a large bowl and beat until well combined.

Wash and dry the basil, remove the leaves from the stems and mince it finely. Add the salt, the flour, the parmesean, the pepper, the grated nutmeg, and the freshly minced basil.

Well all that's in the past now, but I still dream of my time in Paris when lunch was a tad short of 2-hours, little-known local bistros remained affordable until the day they were discovered by La Bible Michelin Guide and the students were revolting - this was the summer of '68, for heaven's sake.
