Simply Eggcellent #5 – how do you like your eggs in the morning?

1 July 2015 by Dominic Franks

… with the popularity of last months ‘anything goes‘ link-up I thought i’d set a little bit of a theme for July…  For many, eggs mean just one thing – breakfast.  They have been a mainstay of the morning meal for hundreds of years and they can be served in such a multitude of ways that it seems fitting to single out the morning to celebrate eggs.  Some would say there’s nothing more basic than a fried egg but then other would suggest that there’s even an art to frying – do you have it ‘easy over’ or ‘sunny side up’.  I like my eggs scrambled for breakfast.  I like a nice buttery thickly folded scrambled egg with perhaps a slice of bacon or some salty mushrooms, served with a crunchy sourdough toast… but if i’m eating brunch I always go for an eggs benedict or eggs florentine served on a lightly toasted muffin a drenched in a thick hollandaise sauce… utter luxury but well worth it as that golden yolk glides through the warm creamy hollandaise and soaks into the bread… and usually my beard…

…but it doesn’t have to be the plain egg-on-its-own that we’re celebrating, any breakfast or brunch item is worth putting forward… the muffin is a wonderful breakfast cake, or perhaps a quiche for brunch, or how about baked eggs… or banana pancakes… oh joy, it’s going to be utter heaven!

    Eggs benedict are often on my plate in restaurants. However, a full-English breakfast has always been my favorite!!

    Best,

    Eggs are always in the larder … wouldn't be without them. They are a powerhouse of great nutrition. The day starts with egg – be it fried, boiled, poached, scrambled, sometimes a frittata … always delicious.

    All the best Jan

    I've already planned making a breakfast egg dish tomorrow, quite similar to those I shared last month – but with some different ingredients, so def. taking part – thanks for a good challenge.

Cauliflower Coconut Curry This curry is the most Cauliflower Coconut Curry

This curry is the most wonderful warming stew, which is perfect for this time of year.  I love how fragrant it is (the whole house smells amazing!) I'm actually surprised by how quick and easy it was to make - it only took about 20 mins! 

I wanted to find a creative way to use the delicious @zenb_uk Veggie Sticks and Veggie Bites within my cooking. ZENB is a new, organic, plant-based brand that has created delicious on-the-go snacks. The company believes in including as much of the whole vegetable as possible, including the peel, skin, stem and seeds to help to raise awareness around issues of food waste.

I used the ZENB Red Pepper, Tomato and Chilli Veggie Bites in the curry sauce and then crumbled the ZENB Red Pepper Veggie Stick over the top.

ZENB can be purchased exclusively online - link in bio and full recipe now on the blog!

Vegan roast vegetable gravy. The best gravy I’ve Vegan roast vegetable gravy. The best gravy I’ve ever made, easily on par with the roast chicken-wing gravy I made at Christmas. Served here with @quorn_uk ‘meatballs’ and two types of mash - regular potato and swede & carrot.

Cake! - is there such thing as a ‘healthy’ cak Cake! - is there such thing as a ‘healthy’ cake?

This fat-free orange and lemon cake is actually an adaptation of the infamous Clementine Cake by @nigellalawson . It’s one of my absolute favourite ‘go-to’ cakes.  If truth be told I usually make it at Christmas because its rich almond nuttiness and intense clementine fruitiness is perfect for the holiday season but looking back over the years I realise I haven’t actually made it for about 8 years! So now seems the perfect time to resurrect an old favourite.  It’s also a great cake to make if you have an abundance of citrus fruit left over from last year.  I always seem to have a few stragglers left in the bowl that really need eating.

vegetable stew with a creamy yoghurt sauce & chedd vegetable stew with a creamy yoghurt sauce & cheddar dumplings with @quorn_uk pieces and @fage_uk yoghurt

The challenge with making food or diet-related New Years resolutions is that it tends to be pretty damn cold this time of year and all we really want to eat is warming soups and stews which often tend to be quite naughty.  With this stew I’ve tried to cut down the fat but still make it unctuous and satisfying although the dumplings are a total cop-out but I’m thinking that this is a ‘one bowl meal’ and I’m not saving it with any other carbs so I’m letting myself off here!
