Domácí česnekačka

Postup přípravy:

Do vody dáme vařit na kostky nakrájené brambory, přidáme kmín, bujón a prolisovaný česnek. Mezitím si nakrájíme slaninu na droboučké kostičky, rozehřejeme na pánvi a přidáme nakrájenou klobásku, chvíli restujeme, pak vše vlijeme do polévky, dochutíme.

Až jsou brambory měkké, rozklepneme vejce a rozmícháme. Při podávání posypeme pórkem, nastrouhaným sýrem a opečeným chlebem.
