Heart-shaped egg

This looks so outrageously gorgeous that mum will be thrilled to bits when you trot it out. You will need a heart-shaped cookie cutter, but failing that, you could make Egg in the Hole, which is a tad easier though still fun (link for the recipe below). Just make sure mum’s awake before you get cooking!

Ingredients
—

Bread, toasted Softened butter Free-range eggs, at room temperature Flaky sea salt Freshly ground white or black pepper Small fresh sage leaves Thinly sliced garlic Optional extras: freshly shaved parmesan, grilled bacon rashers, baked or panfried tomatoes

Method
—

Get all the accompaniments ready before you begin. Make toast and butter it. Brush the heart-shaped cookie cutter with a little melted butter. Heat a small non-stick or heavy-based frying pan over a low to medium heat, add a small dot or two of butter and put the cutter in the pan. Break an egg into a ramekin and carefully lower it into the cutter. Cook egg gently until done to your liking. Loosen from bottom of pan with a metal spatula or fish slice, wriggle metal cookie cutter loose, or use a thin-bladed knife to help separate the egg from the cookie cutter, then transfer it to buttered toast. Season with flaky sea salt and freshly ground pepper.

Recipe Notes

An egg on its owns is just fine, but I like to add a few seasonings. While the egg is cooking, I drop a little more butter around the sides of the pan and add a few baby sage leaves and thin wisps of sliced garlic and sometimes a sliver or two of red chilli, and let them sizzle a little, then spoon them around the egg.

For an over-the-top version, serve with bacon and tomatoes, and dust the hot egg with flakes of fresh parmesan. Bliss.

Hangover Cure – Black Beans, Avo, Eggs ‘n Chilli
I can never work out whether celebrating the last day of the year is more fun than celebrating the first day of a new year – it generally depends on what ungodly hour my head hits the pillow after seeing in the new year. But once I’m up and pottering, tea and toast won’t cut it – I’m after the full monty combo of carbs, fat, salt and chilli. It’s the best way to clear the cobwebs I reckon.
