Stuff yer bake

I was back in Northern Ireland on Thursday for a wedding. The sun shone in a cloudless sky on the day and I managed to get a little burnt, but a lot of fun was had by all. Getting on the plane early in the morning to return to Coventry we passed into cloud and a greyish day but I thought a sunny Sunday brunch would lighten the mood (especially since I came back to my eight month old car to find some git had kicked off my wing mirror!!!).

To make this, whisk up about five free range eggs with a fork. Melt a little knob of butter in a saucepan, add the eggs and over a very gentle heat, slowly fold the egg mixture. You don't want small bouncy nuggets of scrambled egg, but a soft, creamy mixture. Cook for about ten minutes continually folding until done to your liking. Meanwhile slice soda farls into two across the way and toast until a little golden. Lay slices of smoked salmon on top of the soda bread (you could butter the soda bread if you are feeling gluttonous) squeeze a little lemon juice over the salmon and heap the scrambled egg on top. Season, drizzle with a little olive oil and garnish with a sprig of parsley (I do realise that I have put coriander on top but I didn't have parsley). Serves two happy people.
