1 beaten egg
1 tbsp. treacle (optional)
300g (12oz) Flahavan’s Progress Oatlets (or Flahavan’s Gluten Free Oats)
2 tsp bread soda
2 tbsp. mixed seeds (optional)
½ tsp salt (optional)

METHOD:

Place the yoghurt, beaten egg and treacle in a bowl and stir well.
Mix the oats, bread soda, seeds and salt in a separate bowl, add to the yogurt mixture and stir thoroughly.
Place in a greased or parchment lined 2lb loaf tin, sprinkle with oats and bake at 180°C / 350°F / Gas mark 4 for 30 minutes.
Lower temperature to 150°C / 300°F / Gas mark 2 and cook for a further 30 minutes.

Mary’s Tip:
A sweeter version of this bread can be made by adding some dried fruits or you can use chopped sundried tomatoes and basil for a savoury version.
To prevent the treacle from sticking to the spoon, coat it with oil before use.

Spring Bread & Butter Pudding @KerrygoldUSA

Bread_and_Butter_Pudding__made_with_Kerrygold_Grass-Fed_Irish_Butter

Serves:  4-6

If you really want to show off to your guests, a gas gun or small propane torch can be used, with care, to glaze the top. If you don’t fancy using apricot jam as a glaze try marmalade or lemon curd instead. To make it even more delicious try making it with day-old croissants or brioche.

Ingredients:

  • 6 tbsp(3oz) Kerrygold Salted Butter, softened, extra for greasing
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup (8fl oz) milk
  • 1 cup (8fl oz) cream
  • finely grated rind and juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 vanilla pod, split and seeds scraped out
  • 6 tbsp caster sugar
  • 9oz sliced white bread (about 9 slices)
  • ½ cup (3oz) ready-to-eat dried prunes, finely chopped
  • ½ cup (3oz) sultanas or raisins
  • good pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
  • 4 tbsp apricot jam
  • pouring cream, to serve

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C), Gas mark 4 and lightly butter an ovenproof dish. Beat the eggs, milk and cream together in a large jug. Mix together the lemon rind and juice, vanilla seeds and sugar in a small bowl and then add to the egg mixture, beating lightly to combine.

Spread the slices of bread with the softened butter and cut off the crusts, then cut into triangles. Scatter half of the prunes and sultanas or raisins into the bottom of the buttered dish and arrange a layer of the bread triangles on top. Pour over half of the egg mixture, pressing it down gently, then repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients and sprinkle the nutmeg on top.

Place the dish into a large roasting tin and fill with warm water so that it comes three-quarters of the way up the dish. Carefully place in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes until just set.

Remove the bread and butter pudding from the water bath to a wire rack. Heat the apricot jam in a small pan and then brush the top of the pudding.

To serve, cut the bread and butter pudding into slices and arrange on plates with the pouring cream.

  • This recipe for breakfast croissants from our brand ambassador @nevenmaguire is the perfect Mother’s Day weekend treat. Find the full recipe below and shop the ingredients in your local Dunnes Stores.

    Ingredients
    1 packet Simply Better French Made All Butter Croissants
    1 packet Simply Better Italian Prosciutto Di Parma
    6 Simply Better Irish Free Range Corn Fed Large Eggs
    2 Tbsp. Simply Better Jersey Cream
    1 Pack Simply Better West Cork Co-Op Extra Mature Drinagh Cheddar
    2 Tsp. Finely Snipped Fresh Chives
    Simply Better Oriel Sea Salt and Freshly Ground White Pepper
    Simply Better Handmade Tomato Relish, to serve



    Method
    Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F/Gas Mark 5). Place the croissants on a non-stick baking sheet and cook for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave to cool.

    Once the croissants are cooked, heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add two slices of the prosciutto and cook for about 10 seconds on each side to just crisp up. Transfer to a plate while you cook the remainder.

    Break the eggs into the frying pan over a low heat and add the cream and season with salt and pepper. Stir gently with a spatula, allowing large curds to develop. Switch off the heat while the eggs are still very soft as they will continue to cook.

    Carve each croissant in half and add slices of the Cheddar on to each one and then place the slices of Prosciutto on top. Add spoonfuls of the softly scrambled eggs then top with the other half of the croissant. Arrange on plates and garnish with the chives and serve with some of the tomato relish.1d
