Cooking Tips

Thick and lemony-coloured:
Beat yolks at a high speed with an electric mixer until they become a pastel yellow and form ribbons when the beater is lifted (or they are dropped from a spoon) for about 3 to 5 minutes. Although yolks cannot incorporate as much air as whites, this beating creates foam and is important for airy creations such as sponge cakes. View all the cooking tips >

Egg and Bacon Brunch Loaves

These are really tasty as they are, with tomato sauce, or
as part of a more substantial meal. They make a great
quick snack for the kids and fi t easily into their lunchbox.

For each person allow:
2 eggs
2 slices of bread, crusts removed
2 rashers of lean bacon
Salt and pepper
Cooking spray

  1. Preheat oven to 200° C. Roll each slice of bread with a rolling pin until thin.
  2. Spray individual loaf tins or muffi n pans with cooking spray and line with prepared bread slices. Wrap bacon in absorbent paper and cook in a microwave on high power for 2 minutes.
  3. To assemble, break an egg into a cup, prick the yolk with a fork and sprinkle in salt and pepper. Pour into the bread lined tin, place a rasher of bacon in egg mixture and repeat with remaining prepared bread cases. Bake for about 15 minutes or until light golden and the bread is crispy.

Sophie's Tip:These simple savoury loaves are a great addition to a brunch or picnic. Add chopped parsley, a dab of tomato chutney or chives if you prefer. Serve hot - or cold.
