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

We’re delighted to share a new recipe from @gill.m We’re delighted to share a new recipe from @gill.meller. His Christmas Eccles Cakes with Cider Brandy are superbly seasonal, and we’re a little enraptured by them. A gentle twist on a much-loved classic, they bring together sharp apple, dark prunes and a splash of cider brandy beneath a crisp, buttery pastry. 

For the pastry:

400g plain flour
200g butter, cut into 1–2 cm cubes
1 Stonegate Estate Organic egg, beaten
2 – 3 tbls of iced water
Pinch of salt

For the filling:

75g currants
100g pitted prunes, roughly chopped
100ml of Somerset cider brandy
25g butter
1 medium apple, peeled, cored and diced into 1 cm pieces.
100g light soft brown sugar
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
2 tbsp demerara sugar
1 tsp of cinnamon

If you can find a bottle of Somerset Cider Brandy, all the better. Its deep orchard warmth sits beautifully with the fruit and turns these small cakes into a true winter treat.
