This recipe for baked cheesy eggs comes from Clarence House and is one of King Charles favourite breakfast dishes. While his mother, Queen Elizabeth, was a big fan of chocolate, King Charles is a big fan of cheese and eggs. I look forward to more royal dishes with those two ingredients.

Don’t worry if you can’t get hold of a particular type of cheese for this recipe, as King Charles says the dish can be made using various types.
