                                    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
                                    • 1 Tbsp. baking powder
                                    • 2 tsp. sugar
                                    • 1/2 tsp. salt

                                    • 1/2 cup butter, melted and slightly cooled
                                    • 1 large egg
                                    • 1 cup breakfast sausage, cooked
                                    • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
                                    • 1 Tbsp. fresh chives, chopped

                                      METHOD

                                          1. Prepare the soft boiled eggs.
                                          2. Preheat the oven to 230°. Spray a 6 count jumbo muffin tin with non stick spray or line with silicone liners.
                                          3. Whisk together the flour baking powder, sugar and salt in a large bowl.
                                          4. Whisk together the milk, melted butter and egg in a separate small bowl or measuring cup.
                                          5. Pour the butter mixture into the dry ingredients and fold gently. Then add in the shredded cheese, cooked sausage and chives. Fold just until combined or until no more flour pockets remain. (Batter will be thick!)
                                          6. Place ~2 Tbsp. of muffin batter into prepared muffin tin (I like to use a cookie scoop for this) and make a well in the batter with a spoon.
                                          7. Carefully peel the shells off of the soft boiled eggs and place the egg in the well you created. Scoop more batter on top and around the muffin to cover the egg. Repeat with remaining muffins.
                                          8. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the tops of the muffins become golden brown. Slice in half immediately for a runny egg yolk, or allow the muffins to cool for ~5-10 minutes.

                                      • 1/2 Tbsp olive oil 
                                      • 1 8″ flour tortilla 
                                      • 1 cup fresh spinach 
                                      • 4 Bartlet large eggs 
                                      • 1/8 tsp salt
                                      • 1/8 tsp black pepper
                                      • 1/2 cup grape tomatoes
                                      • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar 
                                      • 1/8 tsp crushed red pepper (optional) 

                                      METHOD

                                      1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Brush the inside of a round, 7-inch diameter oven safe dish* with olive oil. Press the tortilla down into the dish so that the edges of the tortilla are folded up the sides of the dish (see step by step photos below).
                                      2. Roughly chop the spinach then add it to the bottom of the tortilla. Crack the four eggs into the tortilla on top of the spinach. Add a pinch of salt and pepper on top of the eggs.
                                      3. Slice the grap tomatoes in half, then sprinkle them over the eggs. Finally, top with shredded cheese.
                                      4. Bake the egg filled tortilla in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are still jammy. You can shake the dish to see if the whites still jiggle or if they are set. Baking time may vary depending on the size of your tortilla and number of eggs used.
                                      5. Remove the tortilla baked eggs from the oven and slide them out of the dish. Slice into four pieces, then serve!

                                        Egg tart molds

                                        

                                       

                                      METHOD 

                                       

                                      1. Make the puff pastry: In a small bowl, whisk the butter until it is the consistency of sour cream. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the flour, water and salt. Mix on low speed, scraping the bowl down occasionally, until the mixture comes together and has a tacky consistency.

                                      2. Transfer to a well-floured work surface and form into a 1-inch rectangle. Using a floured rolling pin, roll the dough into a ½-inch-thick rectangle, 10 inches long. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest for 15 minutes.

                                      3. Remove the plastic wrap and roll the dough into a 15-inch square, dusting with more flour as needed. Spread a third of the butter on the bottom half of the dough, leaving a 1-inch rim. Using a bench scraper, fold the top half of the dough over the butter. Press the edges to seal and pat the dough with the rolling pin. Roll the dough into another 15-inch square. Spread half of the remaining butter on the bottom half of the dough, leaving a 1-inch rim. Using the bench scraper, fold the top half of the dough over the butter. Press the edges to seal. Pat the dough with the rolling pin and rotate the dough so that the seam is facing you. Now, roll into an 18-inch square.

                                      4. Spread the remaining butter all over the dough, leaving a 1-inch rim. Starting with the edge closest to you, roll the dough into a tight log. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until very firm, at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

                                      5. Make the filling: Preheat the oven to 500°. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, water and cinnamon stick over high heat. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute, then remove from the heat and let sit until ready to use.

                                      6. On a lightly floured surface, trim the ends of the dough to make sure they’re even, then cut the log into thirty ½-inch slices. Place each slice into the cavity of an egg tart mold or muffin tin, with the cut side of the spiral facing up. Use your thumb to press the center of the spiral into the bottom of the pan and continue pressing to evenly flatten the dough against the bottom and sides of the cavity, extending about 1⁄16 inch above the rim of the tart molds or ¾ inch up the sides of the muffin tin. Repeat with the remaining dough. Refrigerate until firm, 10 minutes.

                                      7. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat 1 cup, plus 1 tablespoon, of the milk over medium heat until bubbles begin to form around the edges, 4 to 5 minutes. In a large bowl, whisk the flour with the remaining 5 tablespoons of milk. Continue whisking while adding the hot milk in a slow, steady stream. Discard the cinnamon stick from the sugar syrup and whisk the syrup into the milk mixture in a steady stream. Return to the saucepan and cook over low heat, whisking constantly, until thickened 10 to 12 minutes.

                                      8. Add the yolks to the mixture and whisk until well combined, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve. Pour 1½ tablespoons of the warm filling into each pastry shells.

                                      9. Bake until the shells are golden brown and crisp, the custards are set, and the tops are blackened in spots, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool in the pans on wire racks for 5 minutes. Then, remove the molds, transfer the tarts to the wire racks and sprinkle with cinnamon. Serve warm.

                                      • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
                                      • 2 tbsp. olive oil
                                      • 1 tbsp. unsalted butter
                                      • 1 shallots, thinly sliced
                                      • 4 c. spring greens (such as spinach and turnip greens)
                                      • 4 oz. plain or horseradish- flavored goat cheese, crumbled

                                      METHOD

                                      1. Preheat the oven to 177°C with a rack in upper third. Whisk together eggs, cream, and herbs in a bowl. Add 1/2 cup mozzarella and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. 
                                      2. Heat oil and butter in a 25cm nonstick oven-safe or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add greens and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted and liquid has evaporated, 4 to 6 minutes.
                                      3. Increase heat to medium-high. Pour egg mixture into skillet; shake the pan to evenly distribute mixture. Stir once or twice, then cook without stirring until edges begin to just set, 4 to 6 minutes.
                                      4. Sprinkle goat cheese and remaining 1/4 cup mozzarella over eggs. Transfer skillet to oven. Bake until golden brown and just set in center, 20 to 25 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

                                      Bacon Quiche

                                      We love quiches for how versatile and delicious they are. Whip up this quiche for a weekend breakfast, for lunch or even dinner.

                                      Ingredients:

                                      1 Roll puff pastry dough

                                      1 pack of bacon, cooked and cut into pieces

                                      5 Large Bartlet eggs, whisked

                                      ½ Cup whipping cream

                                      300g Spinach, rinsed and chopped

                                      1 Cup diced feta

                                      6 asparagus spears, washed

                                      ½ Teaspoon smoked paprika

                                      Salt and pepper to taste

                                       

                                       

                                       

                                      Step 1

                                      Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius and grease a quiche or pie dish.

                                      Step

                                      Mix the eggs, spinach, bacon, cream and feta together. Season with salt, pepper and paprika.

                                       

                                      Step 3

                                      Roll the dough out onto a floured surface and cut a circle that is slightly larger than your dish. Lay onto the dish, lining up the walls of your pan and prick the dough with a fork.

                                       

                                      Step 4

                                      Pour the egg mixture over your crust before gently placing the asparagus spears on top. 

                                       

                                      Step 5

                                      Bake for 50 minutes or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

                                       

                                      Poached Eggs

                                      Poached eggs have gotten a reputation for being difficult to get right, but the truth is, once you’ve learnt the steps behind a good poached egg, it’s quite simple.

                                      2 Tsp vinegar 

                                      Salt & pepper, to taste

                                       

                                      Hint: 

                                      Serve with bacon, a toasted English muffin, fried tomatoes and sliced avocado.

                                       

                                       

                                      Step 1

                                      Fill a pan with water and heat until gently simmering. Add the vinegar to the water. While waiting for the water to heat, crack your egg into a cup or measuring jug.

                                      Step

                                      Stir the water with a wooden spoon or spatula until it’s spinning in one direction.

                                       

                                      Step 3

                                      Gently drop your egg into the centre of the spinning vortex.

                                       

                                      Step 4

                                      Turn off the heat, cover the pot and leave for 5 minutes.

                                       

                                      Step 5

                                      Remove the poached egg and serve immediately. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

                                      2 pieces of bread, we recommend Ciabatta

                                      2 Bartlet Eggs

                                      1 Ripe avocado

                                      1/2 lemon

                                      Hint:

                                      Step 1

                                      Lightly toast your bread.

                                       

                                      Step 2

                                      Slice the avocado into thin slices, or alternatively, mash with a fork. Squeeze a small amount of lemon juice over the avocado.

                                       

                                      Step 3

                                      Slice the egg in half.

                                       

                                      Step 4

                                      Place the avocado on top of your toasted bread, before adding the egg on top. Sprinkle with your salt and pepper before drizzling a light layer of  olive oil on top. 

                                       

                                      Best boiled eggs

                                      Prep Time: 1 minute
                                      Cook Time: 10-20 minutes
                                      Total Time: 15-25 minutes
                                      Serves: 6

                                      Ingredients:

                                      6 Bartlet Eggs

                                      1 teaspoon of Baking Powder

                                       

                                      Hint:

                                      Older eggs are easier to peel than fresh eggs.

                                      If your eggs come out with a dark green ring around the yolk, they’ve been overcooked. Discard and try again.

                                       

                                       

                                      Step 1

                                      Carefully place your eggs into a large saucepan and cover with cold water until the eggs are covered by at least 3 cm of water. Don’t overcrowd the pan, but make sure that the eggs all fit comfortably. Add the baking powder to the water.

                                       

                                      Step 2

                                      Bring the water to the boil over a high heat.

                                       

                                      Step 3

                                      Once the water is boiling, cover the pan with a lid and remove from the heat. Set a timer for the type of egg you would like. Leave the eggs for 4-6 minutes for soft-boiled eggs with runny yolks, and 8-12 minutes for hard-boiled eggs with solid yolks. While the eggs are boiling, prepare a large bowl filled with ice and cold water.

                                       

                                      Step 4

                                      Once the eggs have reached the desired time, gently lift out of the water with tongs or a slotted spoon. Place the eggs in the prepared ice-water for 10 minutes.

                                       

                                      Step 5

                                      Gently tap the eggs against a counter or table and peel away the shell.

                                       

                                      Step 6

                                      Boiled eggs will keep for around 5 days. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.

                                      A soufflé should be served straight from the oven. The basic mixture can be prepared in advance and placed in the fridge, but the egg whites must be beaten and folded into the mixture just before it goes into the oven.

                                      Step 3

                                      Mix in all the other ingredients except the egg whites.

                                      Step 5

                                      Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form and lightly fold into the mixture.
