Have you ever eaten goose eggs? They may be hard to find, but if you manage to get your hands on any, make sure you give them a try.

One of the reasons goose eggs are difficult to source is that they are seasonal. A goose will only lay about 40 eggs a year, starting in the Spring…… but if you are lucky, you will come across them in local farmer’s markets and farm shops….. and if you do….. grab them quick!

Don’t be put off by their size….. sure they are big….. really big, but they also have a higher yolk to white ratio, which makes them extra rich, flavourful and with a deeper yellow centre…… Perfect for making decadent, protein-filled omelettes, scrambled egg, frittata, quiche, or for the most amazing hard boiled egg. I recently made Scotch Eggs using normal hen’s eggs, but I reckon goose eggs would have made the most delicious monster-sized snack on the planet! Those yolks are not only huge, but they are extra creamy and are the most mouth-wateringly beautiful, head-turning yellow colour.

Of course, you don’t need to limit yourself to using them in obvious egg dishes either…… You can use them as a sub for any other egg….. 1 goose egg equating to about 2½ to 3 large hens eggs (but always worth checking by shelled weight, as size may vary). Given the size of the yolks, you may find the texture of a sponge becomes slightly more dense…… although it will remain wonderfully moist!

This salad is a low-carb, protein-full bowl of yumminess. Your favourite salad leaves form a thick base, topped with tomatoes, crispy prosciutto, blue cheese, toasted seeds and a hard-boiled goose egg….. all seasoned to perfection with a drizzle of balsamic dressing, a sprinkle of salt and a grind of black pepper.

It sings of Spring and onward to Summer…… warm days and lunch in the garden…….. picnics on the beach……

No Waste Food Challenge with Elizabeth’s Kitchen Diary – There was no plan to put prosciutto in this salad when I first set out to make it, but having found a couple of slices out of date hidden in the fridge, it struck me that the best way to resurrect them was to crispy fry and pop on the top. Sometimes fate turns the perfect treat!

Goose Egg, Blue Cheese & Prosciutto Salad (serves 1 or 2 depending on how hungry you are)

Ingredients

1 goose egg – brought to room temperature
2 to 3 slices prosciutto
handful pinenuts and pumpkin seeds
3 to 4 large handfuls of salad leaves of choice (I used a mix of baby leaves)
a few cherry tomatoes on the vine
a few chunks of blue cheese of choice – crumbled
good quality virgin olive oil
good quality balsamic vinegar
sea salt and black pepper to season

Method

  1. Hard boil your goose egg : Bring a pan of water (enough to cover the egg) to the boil and then gently lower the egg into the water. Boil for 14 minutes and then remove from the pan and place in cold water.
  2. Crispy-fry the prosciutto : Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat, without oil. Once hot, place the prosciutto in the base and ‘fry’, turning part-way through until crisp. Set aside.
  3. Toast the pumpkin and pinenuts : Heat the oven to 200 C/400 F/Gas 6. Place the seeds in an oven-proof dish and cook for 5 to 10 minutes, turning a couple of times during the process to toast evenly. Once the seeds are beginning to turn golden, remove from the oven and set aside.
  4. Carefully peel the egg and slice in half lengthways.
  5. Arrange the salad in the base of a serving dish and top with the egg, prosciutto, tomatoes, blue cheese and sprinkled seeds.
  6. To make the dressing, put about a tablespoon each of balsamic vinegar and olive oil in a small bowl and beat together with a fork.
  7. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and season with a good grind of black pepper and a shake of salt.
  8. Eat on its own, or serve with a slice of your favourite gluten free toast.

    Your salad looks gorgeous, Kate (as does all your food to be fair!), but I'm not sure about the goose eggs. I have a 'thing' with eggs. Always had. I only started eating eggs when I was pregnant with my 2nd (weirdest craving, since I've never liked eggs!) and I now love eggs, but am still a bit fussy 🙂 Thanks for joining in with #FreeFromFridays.

    Ooh wow! Those goose eggs look so good Kate, as you say their yolks have a wonderful colour to them! I have to confess that I didn't appreciate that goose eggs were seasonal let alone that they only laid around 40 per yr. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for them when the farmer's market comes to town each month! For me, the yolk is the best part of anegg, so a goose egg for me sounds just perfect!

Perfect Panna Cotta. Sweet with Vanilla. With the Perfect Panna Cotta. Sweet with Vanilla. With the desired ‘wobble’ and drizzled with beautiful, tangy Berry Coulis. 🍓
Being a Coeliac household, it’s a favourite dessert. It’s also one of the rare desserts that isn’t a gluten free brownie when you eat out... I miss eating out!
How’s everyone else doing? What are you most missing with lockdown?
It’s so long since restaurants were allowed to open here. We didn’t really come out of lockdown after the summer... I really feel for the local businesses ☹️
But in the absence of dinner out... We just have to make our own Panna Cotta. 
Creamy, meaty, super smooth...

A brief lesson in Courtesy and Integrity... These A brief lesson in Courtesy and Integrity... These are my gluten free Bourbon Biscuits. Optional Dairy Free and Vegan.
I worked hard to get the recipe right. It took many goes and many tweaks to achieve the texture and flavour that is so Bourbon-iconic.
That’s a lot of ingredients. A lot of ‘getting it wrong’… until I was ‘getting it right’. 
It takes a lot of effort and determination to create recipes that work and work well… And that are at least as good as their glutenous counterparts.
Imagine my utter FRUSTRATION when I found that someone had taken my recipe and (having changed one simple ingredient… removing the ‘pinch of salt’ from the biscuit dough), claimed it as their own… The only credit given to me was that they had been ‘inspired’ by my recipe. 
Even worse… they posted the FULL RECIPE on Instagram, Facebook and heaven only knows where else. 
They made a video for Instagram which has had over 7,000 views. They posted it on Facebook (without any mention of Gluten Free Alchemist initially)…That was another reach of thousands. 
I have received NOTHING from their extreme ‘generosity’ in sharing my recipe. Not even a direct link to my website, from which I am trying to make a living following redundancy.
I’m not going to name and shame (although frankly as a commercial organisation they should have known better)… But INTEGRITY is important.
If you take a recipe from someone else… Give them FULL CREDIT. If you tweak a recipe with small alterations… Still give them FULL CREDIT. Be sure to direct people to the original website post where the recipe can be found in full. 
As a recipe developer, you are at the whim of the integrity and honesty of others not to steal your work. People who take without asking and without any gratitude destroy trust and faith.
Thank you for reading xx
For those of you who wanted the recipe… You’ll find a printable recipe card at Gluten Free Alchemist xx

I promised the recipe for my gluten free VIENNESE I promised the recipe for my gluten free VIENNESE FINGERS ages ago. But it slipped my mind and I forgot to post them. I’m SO sorry. 🙈🙈
Oh well... better later than never I guess. And hopefully this one was worth waiting for. 
Although they can be a little tricky to make, Viennese Fingers are super-light and totally melt-in-the-mouth delicious. 😍
Add a chocolate-dipped end and they are even more heavenly 💜
