How to make tarragon baked eggs:
A really simple starter which is special for any occasion. Tarragon has an interesting flavour that reminds some people of aniseed. Usually tarragon is associated with chicken dishes but goes equally well with the eggs and cream in this recipe. It is nice if the crusty bread is served hot from the oven and for an extra taste you may like to try garlic bread with this dish.



Ingredients

4 eggs
1 tablespoon finely chopped tarragon
salt
pepper
4 tablespoons cream
butter to grease ramekins
(see measure conversions for more information)

Method

- Grease four individual ramekin dishes.
- Mix together the tarragon, cream, salt and pepper.
- Break one egg into each ramekin dish.
- Spoon the tarragon mixture over the eggs.
- Bake at 180 degrees for 6-8 minutes.
- Serve with crusty bread.

Last year I overcrowded my small veg plot with counter-productive results like mildew and snail infestation that went unnoticed until we came to pick the tomatoes (all holes!). I wonder if anyone has ever been totally self providing or whether the local market and barter played...
