Canapes and buffet party Egg Recipes

Mrs Jones - Leftover Roast potato spanish Tortilla / Frittata recipe

We like wholesome party food that is tasty and healthy. Here are some of our go-to canapés or buffet-style egg-based recipes we take to parties or want to try.

• Classic devilled eggs for parties - so simple and guests can eat them in one. Ingredients are simple and can be gluten-free. The main ingredients are eggs, mayonnaise, and mustard.

  • We pipe the yolk/mayo mix by cutting the nose off a small sandwich plastic bag.

• Easy Broccoli and Ham Quiche Recipe
= This is great to make with leftover gammon from Christmas.

  • We used 1 x Just Roll Shortcrust pastry

  • x12 eggs and made it in a square cake tin

• Ultimate Quiche Lorraine - can be made into individual portions with a muffin tin

• Our new favourite - Leftover Roast potato frittata Spanish Tortilla

  • We just used up what we had, cut up 4-6 roast potatoes + pigs in blankets or ham - to cover the base of a medium frying pan, heat them up with some oil - turn a few times,

  • then pour over 8-12 whisked eggs - until the potatoes are covered.

  • Fry until base is set & browned & then we put it under the grill to cook the top - it should puff up like a soufflet. Here is another way to cook it - Mrs Jones’s roast potato spanish Tortilla recipe
