Coddled Eggs
Coddled eggs from The Happy Egg Co
You don’t have to spend hours in the kitchen to create something delicious and nutritious.
Here, we’ve rustled up a fab dish in very little time, using a few staple kitchen ingredients. It’s perfect to make in the evening when you fancy a healthy snack.
Ingredients:
- 4 Happy Eggs
- 100g washed spinach leaves
- 200g grated cheddar
- 50g Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 200ml double cream
- Salt and pepper to season
Equipment:
- Use four 6 inch pots for cooking and serving
Method:
- Cook the spinach in a pot of boiling water for 20 seconds, then quickly run under cold water to blanch them.
- Divide the spinach equally between the 4 pots.
- Mix the cheese and cream together (holding back a little of the Parmesan) and cook in a saucepan over a low heat to make a thick sauce, stirring continuously.
- Divide this mixture equally between the 4 pots. There should be approx. an inch of sauce in each pot.
- Crack the eggs and pour one into each pot. Season with a little salt and pepper.
- Place in a preheated oven at 140C for 20 minutes.
- When the egg has just gone white (yolk should still be runny), sprinkle a little Parmesan on top and place under a grill to melt, then serve.
You are now ready to tuck into your tasty dish!
Cherry on the tree
Cherry juice
I’d never tried cherry juice before and I was pleasantly surprised by this one from Cherrygood.
Made with Montmorency cherries from Michigan, North America, this juice was light and refreshing. Packed with antioxidants and 100% all natural ingredients, it has no added sugar, additives or preservatives.
This drink also contains 19 times more beta carotene than blueberries or strawberries and is filled with vitamin C, potassium, magnesium, iron, and folate.
It has been noted that cherry juice can help you get a decent night’s sleep, which was definitely true in my case. Before I tried this, I’d had problems sleeping and was waking up twice in the middle of the night.
However, after drinking just half a glass before bed I noticed an increase in the quality of sleep I got.
