Hello friends and welcome to a pre-Easter edition of âWhat Posh People Ate in the 80âsâ. This time they are not even pretending to be slumming it as even the name of this dish âEggsclusiveâ speaks to its ritziness! The recipe for this eggcelllent (hey, if they can make egg puns, so can i! ) comes from the Vogue Entertaining Guide from Autumn 1986.
The Eggsclusive recipe comes from an article about the Lamrock Cafe in Bondi Beach in Sydney. A quick Google search showed that The Lamrock is still going strong. And OMGâŠlook at that view. I know EXACTLY where I am heading for brunch next time I go to Sydney! (The Eggsclusive is sadly no longer on the menu though).
The Eggsclusive Recipe and Variations
You will notice that I have altered the recipe a little bit. I did not cook the smoked salmon or the caviare in the eggs, just served them on top. I also only used one type of caviar and I sprinkled some parsley and chives over the top.
This was really easy to make and has a lovely luxe appeal to it It would make the perfect breakfast in bed for someone you love (or yourself) over the Easter break. Why not complete the feel with a glass of champagne? And maybe some of these vintage Easter Pinups could influence your choice of attire!
How cute is this?
Or if little cottontails arenât your bag, you could try a tutu like Debbie Reynolds.
Maybe an Easter bonnet might be more your style?
I would, however, suggest you avoid bursting out of an egg. This looks uncomfortable!
Have a safe and happy Easter, however you decide to spend it!
