Another delicious recipe - Mayonnaise

Ok so now you have your perfect boiled egg, why not give making your own mayo a go!

Home Made Luxurious Mayonnaise

Serves 4-6
Takes 10 minutes
Ingredients:

• 2 medium egg yolks from Faye’chickens/any other chicken!!
• 1tsp Dijon mustard
• 200ml vegetable oil (can use olive oil but has a stronger flavour and is more expensive!)
• 1 tsp of lemon juice or white wine vinegar

Method :

1. Place a folded cloth underneath a medium bowl to stop it sliding while you whisk. Add egg yolks, mustard and a little seasoning, and whisk well until smooth.

2. Add the oil in a slow, steady trickle, whisking with you other hand, until about two-thirds of the oil is incorporated. (Important to add slowly or it will split and not emulsify properly!)

*TIP* - If you have a food processor put eggs and mustard in and leave motor running while you gradually add oil through the open funnel at the top. This will save your arm aching!!

3. Whisk in lemon juice or white wine vinegar,
then whisk remaining oil in a steady stream. If it is too thick whisk in 1-2 teaspoons of warm water to give a consistency that you like.

Yummy!

So simple and perfect for chips. Leave comments to let me know what you think and how you have got on.

How to make the perfect boiled egg by my cousin Chef Amanda

Well I spoke to my cousin Amanda who is a brilliant chef about my chicken blog and she has offered me a couple of simple recipes out there that can be done using eggs. They sound delicious. Try and give them a go.

First of all something that I always struggle with is:

The Perfect Boiled Egg

Serves 1:

Ingredients:

1 fresh egg from Faye’s Chickens/or any other chicken!!

Method:

1.Place the egg carefully into a small saucepan and just cover with cold water. Place on the heat and bring to the boil. Once the water is boiling turn down to simmer and start your timer:
3 minutes for soft boiled OR
4 minutes for harder yolk

2.Meanwhile put some bread in the toaster, get your plate and eggcup ready.

3.When the egg is ready remove it from the water with a slotted spoon and put in your egg cup. Remove the top of the shell and serve immediately with hot buttered toast cut into soldiers.

Very tasty and so simple! Enjoy
