The royal family has gourmets, a lover of good food, who does not refuse tastings and gluttony. let `s talk about King Charles IIIruler of England and, among other things, patron of the Cheese Makers Association since 1993. Before the @clarenchouse Instagram account was abandoned (today all updates are posted on @theroyalfamily), Charles and his wife Camilla shared moments of personal life and their favorite recipes; among them was the one who prepared perfect brunch.

In 2021, during lockdown, the then Prince of Wales sent out a message to his followers urging citizens to support small local producers: “British dairies need our support,” he wrote, “in this period of great uncertainty, we can all help to do this.” “. the easy way: by buying British cheeses in stores, from local producers and online, you can make a difference.” Then Carlo and Camilla shared dish not to be missed during brunch: Cheesy baked eggs; spinach, tomatoes and eggs topped with lots of cheese and an oven baked casserole. Apparently he added an environmental note: “Use organic ingredients whenever possible.”

The recipe is very simple: first you need to grease the pan with oil and put a layer of pre-cooked spinach on the bottom, leaving a hole in the center. Make a second layer with cherry tomatoes and sun dried tomatoes; and a third with soft cheese (adding cold cuts is optional). It is then seasoned with salt and pepper to taste. At the moment we have to deal with the center. In the hole left by the spinach, add two eggs and cream, being careful not to damage the yolk. Sprinkle more and more grated cheese and put in an oven preheated to 180 ° C for about ten minutes. The result, say the members of the royal family, is amazing..

According to Darren McGrady, a former royal chef, Charles shared a passion for cheese with his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. The late sovereign was very fond of croque monsieur, a hot sandwich traditionally made from gruyère, ham and bechamel.

How about five o’clock tea? Camilla has a solution: a soft cake topped with whipped cream and strawberries. Biscuit Cake Victoria. The preparation of the dessert requires several steps and several ingredients: 110 g of baking mix (with yeast), 110 g of vegetable margarine or butter (should be soft), 110 g of granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, a teaspoon of bicarbonate and a few drops of vanilla essence. First, butter two molds of the same diameter and preheat the oven to 170 ° C. In a large bowl, first add the sifted flour, and then all the other ingredients, adding them little by little. At this stage, it remains only to divide the mixture into equal portions, leaving to cook in the oven for about 30 minutes.
