Easy Cheesy Eggy Bread (Serves 1)

Introduction/background to the recipe:

Our aim at the Pump House Environment Centre is to use produce that has minimal impact on the environment and that offers a fair wage to producers; therefore all food and drinks we sell are either locally sourced, organic or Fair Trade.

• Our bread is baked locally at Ombersley Bakery and is made with locally milled flour.
• Our cheese is organic and is made by local cheese producers – Ansteys of Worcester.
• The eggs we use are free range; bought at our local farm shop supplied by a Worcestershire farm.
• We do not have the means to produce our own butter; we do however use a local producer in Gloucestershire.
• Our chives are grown in our very own Pump House vegetable garden!

Method:
 
N.B. *Adult Alert* - means the grown up/supervisor needs to help here..

1. Grate the mature cheddar and set aside.

2. Cut the chives into small pieces with scissors and set aside *Adult Alert*.

3. Break the egg into a bowl and whisk, add the cheese and chives then mix again.

4. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

5. Heat the oil or butter in a pan *Adult Alert*

6. Whilst the oil or butter is heating, pour the mixture into a shallow bowl or plate and coat both sides of the bread (remember to turn bread frequently to allow even coating of both sides of the bread).

7. Gently add the bread to the pan frying the side with the most cheese first, spreading any remainder of the mixture on the top of the bread while the underside is cooking. Cook both sides until golden brown.  

8. Serve immediately with organic onion chutney or tomato sauce and some salad leaves.
