Rachel’s baked eggs with tomatoes, chorizo, chilli and cheese
Preheat the oven to 180°C, 350°F, Gas 4. Put a frying pan on a medium-low heat, add the olive oil then add the skinned, chopped tomatoes, see my tip, above left. Season with a good pinch of salt and cook for about 15 minutes, until the tomato sauce is thick and viscous.
Remove from the heat, stir in the chopped parsley and the crushed chilli peppers. Divide the tomato sauce between four ovenproof ramekins and break 2 eggs into each dish. Place a slice of the chorizo on top of each egg and divide the grated manchego or Parmesan cheese, whichever you’re using, between the ramekins.
Place in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, until the whites are set, but the yolks are just ever so slightly soft. Just before the eggs are ready, toast the slices of bread and butter them.
Remove the eggs from the oven and serve with the buttered toast.

Sweet And Moist Greek Honey Cake #HaughtonHoney
A sticky Greek cake that tastes a little like the much more complicated Greek dessert Baklava
Thanks to Angela for this simple cake recipe that kids just love.
Ingredients
- 1 cup of plain flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon of orange zest
- 3/4 cup of butter
- 3/4 cup of white sugar
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 cup of milk
- 1 cup of chopped walnuts
- 1 cup of Haughton Honey
- 1 cup of white sugar
- 3/4 cup of water
- 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 175c/350F. Grease and lightly flour a 9″ square cake tin. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and orange rind. Set this to one side.
- In a large bowl mix together the butter and the sugar with a whisk until light and fluffy. Then blend in the eggs one at a time. Gently blend in the flour mixture prepared earlier with the milk and stir in the walnuts.
- Pour the batter in to the prepared tin. Place in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool for 15 minutes and then cut the cake into diamond shapes before pouring the honey syrup over. Decorate with lemon zest if you wish.
- To make the honey syrup combine the honey, 1 cup of white sugar and 3/4 cup of water. Bring slowly to a gentle simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and continue cooking for a further 2 minutes. Keep warm before pouring on to the cake.
Notes for the cook: if you have a fan-assisted oven then reduce the specified temperature in the recipe by about 15% ~ 1 teaspoon = 5ml and 1 tablespoon = 15ml ~ some ingredients are measured in cups and some equivalents are; 150g, 6oz (1/2 cup) = 120ml, 4fl oz

Dark Chocolate Apricot Cookie Pizza :Kerrygoldusa.com
Prep: 1 Hour
Cook: 20 Minutes
Serves: 8
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons corn starch
- 4 ounces Kerrygold Unsalted Butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup apricot preserves
- 8 ounces of dark chocolate, chopped
Directions:
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cornstarch. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 1 minute, until nice and creamy.
Slowly stream in the sugar to the butter, while beating constantly.
Next, add the egg and vanilla and beat until combined.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet in 3 batches, mixing between each addition.
Gather the dough into a ball, press it flat into a disk, and wrap it in plastic wrap.
Refrigerate the dough for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350.
Roll the dough out into a 12” circle on a piece of parchment paper.
Transfer the parchment paper to a baking pan, and bake the cookie pizza until set, about 18 minutes. The edges should start to turn golden brown. The center may be a bit puffy, but it will settle as it cools.
Let the cookie pizza completely cool before proceeding.
Spread the apricot jam on the pizza. Top with the chopped chocolate and slice into wedges before serving.
Use the sugar cookie crust as a base, and top with all of your favorite toppings. A cream cheese frosting with sprinkles would be a great kids’ version (or an adult that eats like a kid). If you love white chocolate, it would be great here alone, or mixed in with the dark chocolate.
