Delia Smith - Alpine Eggs Serves 4, Cooking Time: 20 mins
This was the first meal Delia ever made on television – and eggs would be a theme in Delia’s career, with her “How to Cook” TV series creating a huge “Delia Effect” on egg sales. This meal is Delia all over – easy to make, and yet hugely effective!
Method
Butter a shallow ovenproof baking dish and cover with half of your grated cheese. Break the eggs over the cheese, making sure you don’t break the yolks.
Season the eggs and cover with the remaining cheese, and bake for 15 minutes until the cheese has melted and the eggs have set. Sprinkle the chives over the top and serve with fresh bread and salad.
