Print


Ingredients:

2 Bunches of Asparagus or 24 spears
1 Kapiti Kikorangi
4 Eggs
1/2c Anchor Fresh Cream
12 slices of thinly sliced white bread
50g Mainland Butter, melted
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper

 



 

Method:

Blanch the asparagus in boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes until just cooked.

Cut the crusts off the bread and brush each side with melted Mainland Butter. Place the buttered bread slices into a 12- hole muffin tin.

Slice the asparagus diagonally into 1cm slices – Separate the tips and pile the remainder into the bread cases.

Cut the Kapiti Baby Kikorangi into slices and each slice into 3. Place a cheese slice ontop of the asparagus followed by two asparagus tips.

Beat together the eggs, Anchor Cream and seasoning and pour evenly between the 12 asparagus pies. Bake at 180 C for 15- 20 minutes or until the egg mixture has set.

Optional: this can be made in a loaf tin – Place buttered bread ontop before cooking and vary the amount of ingredients depending on the size of your baking container.
