INGREDIENTS
- 12 soft bread rolls – store-bought
(I use small soft white buns or sliders from the local supermarket).
3/4 cup onion jam or relish
300 g shaved ham
1 cup cheese – tasty or whatever
TOPPING
- 3 medium Eggs
50 g melted butter
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp dry English mustard powder
1 cup grated cheese
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a baking dish that will fit the buns snugly, with baking paper.
- Split each bun in half horizontally, or do this as a whole unit if they’re all stuck together.
- Dollop each bottom half with onion jam then top with plenty of ham and cheese. Place the tops on and cut a cross in each top so the topping will soak in. Fit the buns into the lined dish so that they’re touching.
- In a bowl whisk together eggs, melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, salt and mustard and stir in the cheese. Spoon this mixture over the buns.
- Bake for about 8-10 minutes until the topping is golden and bubbling.
- Serve immediately, with plenty of napkins!
Creamy Chicken Bake
- 5 Chicken breasts or thigh pieces
- 4 sun dried tomatoes, chopped
- 4-5 cloves of garlic
- 1 tsp dried tarragon
- 200 g crème fraiche or sour cream
- ¼ c chicken stock
- 2 tbsp whole grain mustard
- 200 g cherry tomatoes
- 5 rashers of bacon
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh chopped herbs such as chives or parsley to garnish
Preheat the oven to 190C.
Place the chicken and garlic in a deep oven proof dish. Mix together in a bowl the crème fraiche, tarragon, mustard and stock and then pour over the chicken. Scatter over the chopped tomatoes and bacon. Bake for 30-40 minutes. Bake some potatoes or kumara in the oven while the chicken is cooking and serve with a green salad.
