There have been tears and tantrums. The judges Katy Salter and Oliver Thring worked through the night to reach an agreement but, eventually, after several gallons of coffee and a not inconsiderable number of chocolate digestives, decided that the rightful winner of a Clarence Court ostrich egg and a bottle of Heidsieck champagne should be:
Long pause…
Feast with Bron’s slow cooked ham and eggs, a dish which the judges proclaimed:
“A perfect egg dish, gentle as the heat that sets them. We love this modern approach to a classic French way with eggs.”
Bron uses a steam oven, but says:
“you could do it in a bain marie in a very low oven – just keep an eye on the eggs and whip them out as soon as the whites set. You might get a slightly different texture to the egg but it would still be a luscious treat…..”
Congratulations Bron – egg and grog on their way to you.
Thanks to all those who sent entries in – they all looked fantastic. And thanks to the esteemed (and I know incredibly busy) judges.
I once did it in a bain marie. The results weren’t great.
Can’t see why that wouldn’t work personally. What went wrong?
I thank you!
Congrats Bron – a worthy winner.
And Rambo – thanks for asking us to judge!
