Recipe of the Week

A Perfect Breakfast for Hungry Students )))


Please, welcome Delia Smith, a famous British cook and TV presenter. In her programmes she taught Britons basic cookery skills. She was awarded the Order of the  British Empire in recognition of her contribution to the British culture and cooking traditions. She also gave her name to the economic effect known as 'Delia Effect' - after her TV programmes British retailers rose prices for the products she used in her latest programme. 

Now it's the right time to enjoy one of Delia's most renowned dishes - ALPINE  EGGS! 

Ingredients

6 large fresh eggs

12 oz (350 g) grated Cheddar or Lancashire cheese

approximately 1 0z (25 g) butter

salt and freshly milled black pepper

1 dessertspoon freshly snipped chives

Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 4, 350°F (180°C).

Equipment

You will also need a shallow oval baking dish.

Method

Butter a shallow ovenproof baking dish quite generously, then cover the base with half the grated cheese. Now carefully break 6 eggs on to the cheese, season well with salt and freshly milled black pepper, then sprinkle the rest of the cheese over the eggs, covering them completely. Dot with a few flecks of butter here and there, then bake in the centre of the oven for 12-15 minutes, by which time the cheese will be melted and bubbling, and the eggs just set. Just before serving sprinkle the chives over and serve with crusty fresh bread and a crisp green salad. Note: For a special occasion, serve Alpine eggs as a first course. Use individual dishes (buttered) with 1 egg per person and 2 oz (50 g) grated Gruyère cheese per person. Prepare and cook in exactly the same way as above.

ENJOY YOUR BREAKFAST!  

MAY  YOUR  DAY  BE  BRIGHT  AND  TASTY!!!
