Eggs and Bacon in Flummery

Ingredients

• 1 pint stiff flummery
• Red food coloring
• 5 cups white flummery
• Preserved apricots
• Edible flowers for garnish

Directions

1. Color part of the flummery pink with food coloring.

2. Dip a potting pot in cold water and pour in a layer of red flummery, the thickness of a coin.

3. Add a layer of white flummery of the same thickness, then another layer of red, and finally a thicker layer of white on top.

4. Ensure each layer is stiff and cold before adding the next.

5. In five tea cups, place a large spoonful of white flummery into each and let them sit overnight.

6. Turn the flummery out of the potting pot onto the back of a wet plate.

7. Cut the flummery into thin slices and arrange them on a china dish.

8. Turn the flummery from the cups onto the dish and remove a bit from the top of each.

9. Place half a preserved apricot in each indentation to resemble poached egg yolks.

10. Garnish with edible flowers.
