A small pinch of sea salt
200ml double cream

25g blanched hazelnuts, crushed

Make the most of spinach and spring onions as they Make the most of spinach and spring onions as they come into season. @gill.meller’s creamy spinach and cheddar eggy bread toastie turns these bright spring greens into something deeply comforting and delicious. Stonegate Organic eggs are whisked and soaked into bread, layered with handfuls of wilted spinach, sharp spring onions and melting cheddar. Crisp at the edges, soft in the middle, and generous enough to share, if you’re feeling kind:

200ml organic whole milk
15g unsalted organic butter, plus a knob extra
15g organic plain flour
2 large slices of bread
150g spinach leaves
150g mature cheddar cheese, grated
4 spring onions
1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard
2 Stonegate Estate Organic eggs
20g of soft salted butter, for spreading
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Wash and drain spinach, place in a pan with a good pinch of salt. Set over a high heat with lid on top. Cook spinach until wilted. Tip into colander and drain. Once cooled, squeeze out all liquid and set aside.

Add butter to a medium saucepan. Add flour when bubbling away. Cook for 2 – 3 minutes, stirring regularly. Pour in 2/3 of the milk, turn up the heat and bring to a simmer. Whisk well then, as it starts to thicken, add the rest of the milk, whisking until thick and bubbling. Add grated cheese, spinach, mustard, spring onions and some sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Stir well, set aside.

Butter the slices of bread on one side. Spoon over the creamy spinach and cheese mixture, put the lid on to make a nice big sandwich.

Crack eggs into a large shallow bowl, season and whisk.
Sit whole sandwich into the beaten egg and let it stand there for 5 – 10 minutes. Turn the sandwich over and let it soak on the second side for about the same amount of time.

Heat a medium pan. Add butter and when it’s bubbling away lay the sandwich down into the pan. Cook on both sides for 4 – 5 minutes each.

Lift out of the pan, cut in half and serve at once.
@gill.meller’s Salt cod beignets with rosemary, ch @gill.meller’s Salt cod beignets with rosemary, chilli and garlic are crisp on the outside, soft within, and just the thing to serve with a glass of something cold. Salt cod brings a deep, savoury punch, lifted by rosemary and a gentle warmth of chilli.
 
No salt cod to hand? Cure fresh cod or pollack overnight instead:

250g salt cod, thoroughly soaked
2 large Stonegate Estate Organic eggs, separated
90g plain flour
½ tsp baking powder
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp finely chopped fresh rosemary
½ tsp chilli flakes (or to taste)
1 finely grated garlic clove
Freshly ground black pepper
Neutral oil, for frying

From late March to early May, wild garlic carpets From late March to early May, wild garlic carpets riverbanks and woodland floors, a sure sign that spring has arrived. Milder than the garlic bulb but just as fragrant, it lends itself beautifully to simple cooking. In @gill.meller’s wild garlic fried eggs and potato rösti, it lifts the humble rösti into something fresh and seasonal, topped with a wholesome Stonegate Organic fried egg.

To make this dish at home, you’ll need:

2-3 (roughly 400g) large potatoes, scrubbed (we recommend Wilja, King Edward or Maris Piper)
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
A generous handful of wild garlic leaves
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 knobs of butter
2 Stonegate Estate Organic eggs

Coarsely grate the potatoes then squeeze out the liquid. Place in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Roughly chop half of the wild garlic, add to the mix, then tumble everything together.

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan. Scatter in the potato mixture, creating an even layer. Press it down so the mix is relatively smooth and an even shape.

Once it’s sizzling away, turn the heat down to low. Cook the rösti for around 7 minutes, occasionally pressing it down with a spatula.

After 7 minutes, drop a little butter round the edges of the pan. When the underside is lovely and golden, flip over the rösti and cook for 7 more minutes.

Once the rösti is cooked, slide it out onto a board or plate.
Heat the remaining olive oil and butter in the frying pan. When it’s bubbling away, crack in the eggs, season lightly with sea salt and cracked black pepper. Add the last of the wild garlic and baste the eggs with the bubbling butter.

When they are done to your liking, lift the eggs out onto the rösti and bring to the table.
