SOUTHERN-STYLE BIRDS IN A NEST WITH BUTTER GRITS, GREENS WITH BACON, OVER-EASY QUAIL EGGS AND GREEN TOMATO AND GREEN APPLE CHUTNEY

Steps:

• For the chutney: Combine the green tomatoes, brown sugar, cider vinegar, curry powder, mustard seeds, fennel pollen, allspice, ginger, apple and red onion in a medium heavy-bottomed pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes. Taste and thin with chicken stock as desired. Adjust the seasonings to taste.
• For the greens and bacon: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp; remove to a paper-towel-lined plate. Lower the heat to medium, add the garlic and shallot, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes. Add in the chard and beet greens and let wilt for a few minutes. Deglaze the pan with vinegar, then add the sugar, nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste, and a dash of hot sauce. Add some of the bacon back to the pan, and combine. Use the remaining bacon as garnish.
• For the butter grits: In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken stock, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon of the butter to a boil. Add the grits and bring to a simmer. Stir, then partially cover, and cook, whisking occasionally, until the liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
• Add in 1/2 cup milk, whisk and partially cover. Cook, whisking occasionally, for another 15 minutes.
• Add in the remaining 1/2 cup milk and cook partially covered, whisking occasionally, another 15 minutes.
• Add the remaining tablespoon butter and season to taste with salt. Use additional stock to adjust the consistency as needed. Serve the grits with the quail eggs.

MERINGUE NEST CHEESECAKE WITH MINI EGGS

Steps:

• Grease a 18cm loose bottomed round cake tin with a little butter and line with a circle of baking paper.

Whiz the chocolate digestives in a food processor until reduced to fine crumbs then tip into the melted butter. Spoon the biscuit mixture into the base of the prepared tin - press down well with the back of a spoon.
• In a large mixing bowl whisk together the rest of the cheesecake ingredients then pour into the tin. Smooth the top with a spatula then place in the fridge for at least 2 hrs or overnight.
• When you're ready to serve carefully transfer the cheesecake to a serving plate or cake stand and sprinkle the top with coconut flakes - making a bigger mound in the centre then arrange the meringue nests on top. Fill the nests with mini eggs, extra sprinkling of coconut, hundreds & thousands and the fluffy chicks.

SUNKEN EGGS IN A SPINACH NEST

Steps:

• 3. In an oven-proof dish, spray with Pam or similar, and spread out the sliced potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Cover with the spinach mixture. Using a spoon, make 4 egg-sized indentations in the spinach. Carefully crack an egg into each indentation. Sprinkle with nutmeg, salt and pepper. Pour the remaining milk over the spinach and add shredded cheese, being careful that the eggs are not covered.
• 4. Bake at 350ºF for 20-30 minutes, depending on how set you like your eggs. (NOTE: I baked mine for about 25 minutes and the eggs were completely cooked. If you like runny yolks, cook for less time.)
