I went out for a Mothers Day breakfast hosted by my church this morning, but not really feeling like filling up on sweet pastries and somewhat hoping my family might take me out for brunch (as tomorrow is a different focus of a 30th birthday lunch) I was well and truly starving when I realized brunch out was not going to happen.<\/p>\n

How to have some form of special treat on the RLC budget?
\nHow to utilize what we had and managed to stumble upon?
\nThis happened to consist of free home grown eggs, some smoked salmon off cuts, some wholemeal English muffins left over from hamburgers last night. Oh, and some spinach left over from a salad.<\/p>\n

Boom boom-what else but eggs Florentine for brunch?<\/p>\n

So we bought some hollondaise sauce ( $1), because I so did not want to make it.
\nAnd we stumbled upon a tray of 8 meringue nests for $1.50. Left over rose water cream from a Ispahan* dessert I made for a children’s group mothers day do and some stewed quinces topped the meringue off perfectly.
\nSo a rough budget would be about $8. For mains and dessert. And the satisfaction of being a creative and resourceful mum.<\/p>\n

*Ispahan is a signature flavour combination by French patissiere Pierre Herme\u00a0 Raspberry, lychee and rose are used in different items to make a divine taste sensation. I made raspberry jelly, lychee panna cotta and rosewater cream layered verrines.
