Ingredients:

  • 2 carrots
  • 1 parsnip
  • ½ small (about 350g) celeriac
  • Garlic-Infused Oil, made with olive oil or purchased equivalent
  • 1 ounce (30g) unsalted butter
  • 2 sprigs of thyme, 
leaves picked off
  • A large handful of kale, 
stalks removed, 
leaves shredded
  • 6 large eggs, 
beaten
  • 5 1/4 ounces (150g) Stilton or 
goat’s cheese, 
 crumbled

Preparation:

  1. Preheat the grill to a medium-high heat. Peel the carrots, parsnip and celeriac, then cut into long, thin matchsticks. 

  2. Heat a splash of garlic-infused olive oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the butter and once it’s foaming, add the vegetable matchsticks and fry for 
5 to 6 minutes until softened, stirring regularly. Add the thyme and fry, stirring, for a couple of minutes, then increase the heat, add the greens and fry for 
2 to 3 minutes until softened. Remove the pan from the heat. 

  3. Ensure that the vegetables are evenly distributed over the base of the pan, then pour over the beaten eggs. Sprinkle the cheese over the top, then return the pan to the hob over a very low heat. Cook the eggs just enough to set the underside, then slide the pan under the grill (protect the handle from the heat if it isn’t heatproof) and cook for a few minutes until the eggs are lightly set with a gentle wobble in the middle of the pan. Remove the pan from the grill and leave to stand for 2 to 3 minutes before turning out and slicing. Serve either hot or at room temperature.

Notes:

Tips

  • If you have never used celeriac before, we encourage you to do so! It is formidable looking, with its knobs and nooks and crannies and it is usually somewhat dirty. The good news is that after a quick rinse, it actually peels quite easily, exposing its creamy colored flesh.
