title=”You can’t run and you can’t hide - because you’re an egg.” alt=”Eggs hiding under cheese” />


I don’t have children so I don’t really have an excuse for making this. I just had some processed cheese in the fridge, which I generally don’t understand and am always a little unsure how best it might be used. In this experiment, the processed cheese slice did not (as ever) add anything that you would miss were it not there. I like it when narrative is introduced to meal-times, though. Why is the egg hiding? Shame? Guilt? Fear? Depression? The scene could be made a whole lot more dramatic by the addition of a blob of tomato sauce somewhere beneath the cheese blanket.



Serves: 1



Time: 10 mins



Ingredients:

1 egg

1 slice processed cheese

Wholemeal/granary bread

1 Tbsp skimmed milk

1 clove garlic

Half Tbsp olive oil

Half tsp dried herbs such as tarragon, basil, oregano

Black pepper

Small pinch salt

Lo-fat, no-transfat margarine

Ketchup (optional)


Method:

Finely chop the garlic and gently fry it and the pepper in the oil for a few minutes until the garlic is cooked and just starting to colour. Toast a slice of bread. Beat the milk and herbs into the egg, turn the heat up on the garlic and pour in the egg, giving it a quick stir. Let it sit for a few moments while you quickly spread the margarine on the toast. Start to scramble the eggs with a chopstick or something. Just as they are about to set, throw in the pinch of salt and stir it through before tipping it all out onto the toast. If you are feeling macabre, add the blob of ketchup before dropping the cheese slice on top.
