End of Month Egg On Toast Extravaganza - it's a dish of two halves.  Add/Read Comments

The Ingredients

Perhaps I am not taking this blog-happening seriously enough but following the late night escapades (as detailed on the �other� blog) I thought a 'proper' entry for EoMEoTE was necessary. After-all I don't want to ruffle feathers or be banished to the hen-house. (Did I use those puns last month?)

As an alternative to writing up a huge batch of wine tasting notes (yawn) a dash around Waitrose (a dash you note, not a meander) procured the necessary ingredients for this months yolktastic entry. It is a blindingly hot day here in South O (did you see last nights hailstorm - wow) which calls for only one thing. Ice-cream!

Ice Cream!

�Buy four tubs of Green and Blacks organic and save 77p�. Gotta be done. I also shelled out for bread in the form of brioche fingers. And an egg. A chocolate egg. I imagine if I had thought of this a few weeks ago I would have had a profusion of Easter confectionery to peck at; as it is the sole chocolate egg now available is from Kinder - Kinder Surprise Egg. The only surprise being how crap the plastic 'toy' inside really is.

There isn't much chocolate in a Kinder; cheap milk chocolate on the outside, white choc as an inner so I bulked it out a little with two Lindt Lindor. Two eggs and two Lindor Chocolates melted over a pan of lightly boiling water. Two dessert spoons of Creme Fraiche stirred in towards the end. Served with two halves of a toasted Brioche Finger. Eggtastic - simple but effective. This chocolate melting malarkey works a treat with a Mars Bar, by the way, as the mousse forms lovely little fudgey bits.

The Final Dish

There you have it 'Ice Cream and Toasted Brioche Fingers with Warm Mixed Chocolate Sauce'. As you can see from the pictures there is enough on my plate for two (if they have feather-weight appetites); and enough sauce for four. The �surprises� were Bugs Bunny and a crocodile pulling a cart.
