EASTER Egglicious Eggs

Eggciting Easter is all about chocolate! Deliciously smooth & sickeningly sweet chocolate; try this Triple Chocolate (dark, milk and white) House and fill it with wrapped baby Easter eggs.

If your heading home, going away or staying local this Easter I'm sure we all share one common interest; enjoying home-style food; sharing laughs, eating copious amounts of chocolate, perhaps the traditional Good Friday fish and in general a great excuse for an extra long weekend!


Roast lamb, which was a staple in my household growing up, is the traditional meat served for the main meal on Easter Day. Usually served with freshly made mint sauce (my favourite) and roasted vegetables.


Other Easter treats include Easter Biscuits, which are sometimes called "Cakes", traditionally eaten on Easter Sunday. They contain fragrant spices, sweet currants and sometimes grated lemon rind for an added punch.

Eggs are usually on the breakfast menu, whether it be of the fresh or chocolate kind either make a delicious choice. My preference this Easter is Fluffy Scrambled Parmesan eggs, an ideal way to kick start a long weekend or a quick meal to wind down from a busy weekend.


Scrambled Parmesan eggs
Serves 2 people

6 eggs, lightly beaten
2 Tablespoons milk or cream
1/4 cup Parmesan, grated
salt and pepper
1/4 cup chives, snipped


Heat a non-stick fry pan over medium heat. Add a knob of butter if you desire and cook until melted.
Combine eggs, cream, Parmesan, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Pour into pre-heated pan, cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently in a figure eight motion (moving the cooked egg to the surface and allowing the un-cooked egg to cook) until eggs are almost cooked. Remove from heat.
Place fresh toast onto serving plates and top with fluffy scrambled eggs, season to taste and sprinkle with chives.
Great served with smoked salmon and marscapone for a decadent rise and shine!

Tips for success!


Give your scrambled eggs the care they need when cooking, they only take a few minutes to cook and a few seconds to be over-cooked and chewy!


pss - Make sure your pan is hot, reduce the heat once the eggs are cooking.
psss - Gently fold your egg mixture in a figure 8 motion whilst cooking
