Coddled Eggs

Treat yourself to a smashing breakfast -- it's a doddle to coddle yer eggs! A classier egg than scrambled or boiled as I'm sure you'll agree.

























Ingredients
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 mushroom
  • knob of butter
  • emmental cheese (or whatever hard cheese you have to hand)
  • 2 coddlers
  • toast & marmite

Directions

1. Put a dab of butter in each coddle










2. Chop mushroom into pieces and place in the coddles











3. Break one egg into each coddle, top with grated cheese and season with salt and pepper











4. Place coddles in sauce-pan of boiling water (3/4 way up the coddle, not covering)

Cook for about 5 minutes. If egg isn't done to your liking, cook some more.











5. As eggs are coddling, get the toast on. For the marmite-lovers, apply liberally to their toast.














6. Slice toast into soldiers and serve with the coddled eggs. Delish.

Breakfast: Tasty cheese, ham and mushroom toastie

Take a break from oatmeal and cereal with this quick and tasty toastie!




















Ingredients:
  • Some mushrooms
  • Two slices of bread
  • Two slices of good cheese (here I use a brie)
  • Slice of ham
  • Butter/margerine/or similar
  • For best results, use a "grill press"
Directions:

1. Slice mushrooms and fry gently in a little olive oil











2. Butter bread










3. Place ham, cheese and mushrooms in bread, making a sandwich










4. Heat frying (grill) pan; add a little oil (I find a spray works well)










5. Place sandwich on grill and put grill press on top












6. Check after a few minutes on cooked side; when it is golden brown, turn-over

7. When second side is done, remove from heat, place on plate and enjoy with a nice Kona coffee!!

What a great start to the day!
