Season and add the chopped herbs. Allow to infuse for a few minutes.

4. Meanwhile whisk the egg yolk with 2 - 3 teaspoons of boiling water over a bain marie until a thick and creamy sabayon has been formed.

5. Sprinkle the cheese onto the croutons and place under a hot grill until the cheese starts to bubble.

6. Fold the sabayon into the stock and pour over the vegetables. Place the croutons on top and serve.
