Murphys Eggs Recipes

MURPHY'S EGGS

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes, cut into small 1/2 in (1.25 cm) dice. Peel and slice the onion. De-rind and chop the bacon. Grease an oven-proof dish. Mix the potatoes, onion and bacon in a bowl, and put into the dish, seasoning well with the salt and pepper. Add the hot milk (enough to come halfway up the dish) and dot with the butter.
• Bake in a hot oven (400F/200C/Gas mark 6), covered with a lid or foil for 45 minutes-1 hour, until the potatoes are cooked and all the milk is absorbed.
• Break each egg into a cup. Remove the dish of potatoes from the oven, make two hollows in the top of the potatoes with a spoon, and slip the raw eggs into the hollows. Return the dish to the oven for 6-8 minutes until the eggs are set. Serve at once.

PUMPKIN EGGNOG

Steps:

• Prepare a bowl set into a large bowl filled with ice and water and set aside.
• Combine the condensed milk, cream, pumpkin puree and cloves in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Cook, whisking, until just below simmering. Place the egg yolks in a bowl and whisk to combine. Slowly add some of the warm cream mixture (about 1/4 cup) to the yolks, whisking constantly (this is called tempering and will prevent the yolks from curdling). Then, whisk the tempered egg yolk mixture into the saucepan. Remove from the heat and cool down by pouring the mixture into the prepared bowl. Stir occasionally, until completely cooled down.
• Place the mixture into a blender along with the sugar, bourbon and ice cubes. Blend until smooth. To serve, fill rocks glasses with ice and pour the eggnog over.
