@gill.meller’s roasted Brussels sprouts with bacon and eggs are a lovely way to use up the extra sprouts left over from the main event. Roasting changes them completely, turning them crisp-edged and sweet, nothing like the boiled versions many of us grew up with. Smoky bacon and soft onions bring their own warmth, and cracking in a few nourishing Stonegate Organic eggs towards the end lifts the whole thing into something more than a side dish, something that can easily become the main event itself.

It all happens in a single tray, the sort of cooking that feels right for quiet winter days when you want comfort without fuss:

500g Brussels sprouts, trimmed and ready to cook
125g smoked bacon lardons or chopped streaky bacon
1 red onion, halved and thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
4 thyme sprigs, leaves stripped
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 Stonegate Estate Organic eggs
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Heat the oven to 220ºC/200°C (fan.)

Place the sprouts in a large roasting tin. Scatter over the sliced red onions and garlic along with the bacon lardons, and thyme. Trickle over the olive oil and season everything generously with salt and pepper, tumble together well.

Place the tray in the oven and roast for about 25 minutes, stirring once or twice during cooking, until the onions are soft, the bacon lardons are crisping round the edges and the sprouts are golden and even, lightly charred in places.

Remove from the oven and using a spatula, clear two rough wells in the sprout and bacon mixture. Crack an egg into each well. Return the dish to the oven for a further 6-8 minutes, or until the egg whites are cooked and the yolks are just beginning to set. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
Save @gill.meller’s scrambled eggs with smoked tro Save @gill.meller’s scrambled eggs with smoked trout, toast and chives for Christmas morning:

25g butter, plus extra for the toast
6 Stonegate Estate Organic eggs
A small handful of chives, finely chopped
2 slices of good malted or white sourdough bread
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
150g smoked trout, sliced

This is a subtlety elegant alternative to the usual salmon and eggs. The trout is lightly smoked and clean in flavour and the eggs are scrambled slowly, over the gentlest heat, until they turn soft and creamy and hold their own warmth. Spoon them onto toast, tuck in a few ribbons of smoked trout, and finish with a scattering of chives.

It is simple, but quietly luxurious, and exactly the sort of breakfast that makes a day feel special before it has even begun.
Save this recipe for the big day, when the old car Save this recipe for the big day, when the old carol drifts through your mind and someone inevitably demands some figgy pudding!

@gill.meller’s fig and seville marmalade trifle feels like a modern answer to that call. It is a trifle made for a more glamorous Christmas lunch, where the flavours are deeper and the fruit comes from the winter pantry. Dark dried figs with their gentle chew, a spoonful of sharp Seville marmalade bright with peel, and that lovely bittersweetness that belongs only to this time of year.

Layered softly with custard and cream, it becomes a trifle with a touch of theatre. Festive, grown-up and full of winter warmth:

100g of dried figs
1 Jar of thick cut Seville orange marmalade
75ml of brandy
100g of amaretti biscuits
‌
For the custard:
200ml whole milk
300ml double cream
50g caster sugar
1 juicy vanilla pod
1 tbls of corn flour
6 large Stonegate Estate egg yolks
‌
To top:
2 tbls of flaked almonds

@gill.meller’s giant “Gala” sausage rolls take all @gill.meller’s giant “Gala” sausage rolls take all the familiar comfort of a traditional gala pie and turn it into something simpler and wonderfully festive. The pastry bakes to a deep, crisp gold, the filling is rich and savoury, and each slice feels like the sort of thing you bring to the table when the kitchen is full and the afternoon light has begun to slip away.

It is a homemade classic made easier, every bit as good, and a lovely way to spend an hour or two in the kitchen over the festive season. Serve with warm mulled cider or gently spiced apple juice at your Christmas gatherings:

750g finely minced pork
A small bunch of chives, finely chopped
1 tsp chopped thyme leaves
1 tbsp chopped sage leaves
2 tsp garam masala (optional but good)
30g fresh white breadcrumbs
1.5 tsp salt
1 tsp of ground white pepper
3 Stonegate Estate Organic eggs
320g of puff pastry

To glaze:
Egg wash (beaten egg mixed with a splash of milk)

To finish:
Fennel seeds
Flaky sea salt
