Main Ingredient : Egg

Recipe Type : Breakfast

Ingredients :

7 eggs
87g/3oz ground almonds
450g/16oz lean turkey mince
1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. fresh rosemary, chopped
1 tsp. fresh sage
1 shallot, finely diced

Method :

Gently fry the chopped shallot in a frying pan until browned, then set aside to cool.
Place 6 of the eggs in a pan of boiling water and leave on a high heat for 5 minutes, then remove and soak them in cold water.
Break the shells off each of the eggs, then pat them with kitchen roll to remove any moisture (this will make it easier for the turkey to stick to the eggs).
Mix together the ground turkey, fried shallot, herbs and spices in a large bowl, then divide into 6 equal parts.
Flatten the turkey mixture, then place each egg into the centre and gently fold the turkey mixture so it covers the whole egg. Repeat with all 6 eggs.
Crack the last egg into a bowl and whisk, then coat the turkey in egg and roll in the almonds.
Preheat the oven to 170C/340F, and leave the eggs for 10 minutes before baking.
Bake for 20-30 minutes.
