Eggs en cocotte (per person)

Asparagus for royal wedding tea recipes

1 egg
1 tbsp cream
½ tsp butter
1 tsp grated parmesan cheese (real cheese, not ersatz powder)
Salt and pepper
3 – 5 stems of asparagus
 

  • Pre heat the oven to 350 (180) and boil a kettle
  • Grease the bottom of a ramekin with butter then crack in the egg and season with salt and pepper
  • Gently pour the cream over the egg – I usually pour it over the back of a tablespoon. The aim here is to cover the egg yolk, so if your ramekins are especially big or wide, you may need more cream
  • Sprinkle the parmesan over the top
  • Put the ramekin into a baking tray and fill with boiling water to half way up the side of the ramekin
  • Bake for 15 mins for a runny yolk, 18 for a firm one
  • Meanwhile, bring a pan of salted water to the boil, and trim the asparagus by snapping off the woody ends.
  • Boil the asparagus for about 3 minutes until it’s crunchy but cooked.
  • Serve the eggs with the asparagus for dipping

Coronation Chicken sandwiches (makes 8 – 12 full slice sandwiches or finger rolls)

1 cup of chopped cooked chicken breast (I like to roast it on the bone, skin on, seasoned with salt and pepper, then take off the skin and bone and cube)
1 small bunch of parsley chopped (about 1 tbsp)
½ a fresh mango (about ¼ cup cubes)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 lime
1 tsp curry powder
¼ cup dried cranberries
Good white bread – or finger rolls for open sandwiches

  • Mix the chicken with the mayonnaise, the curry powder, the cranberries, the parsley and the zest and juice of half of the lime. Season well with salt and pepper
  • Peel and cube the mango and stir in gently
  • Make sandwiches out of the chicken mixture, cut off the crusts and cut into threes lengthwise, or into quarters in triangles, or make open sandwiches out of finger rolls
