Our Everyday Breakfast At Les Trois Chenes
A varied, healthy, French farmhouse breakfast

I've missed out the cereals and yoghurt! We normally offer coffee, tea, herb teas or hot chocolate, fruit juice, a choice of cereals, fruit and natural yogurt, bread or toast with butter, honey and jam, croissants, brioche or pain au chocolat, fresh eggs from our hens and a fruit bowl. Of course you don't have to eat everything!
Take a look at our site here Les Trois Chenes, or contact us on info@lestroischenes.com
Valentines Day Breakfast Menu No. 1
We like to ring the breakfast changes

Love Fresh Free Range Farm Eggs!
Heart shaped toast and eggs are fun for Valentines Day

Pink Scrambled Eggs Recipe
Red Caviare adds a touch of luxury
SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH RED CAVIARE FOR TWO
Ingredients
4 large eggs (fresh, free range are best!)
small jar of red caviare
Splash of milk
Butter (optional)
Seasoning - salt and coursely ground pepper
2 slices of hot buttered toast
Method
Melt the butter in a pan, (if you wish to add butter; I think the eggs are just as nice without). Beat the eggs in a bowl and add to the butter. Add splash of milk, say two tablespoons and salt. Heat gently stirring all the time as the eggs cook, when they are just firm and cooked add a teaspoon or two of caviare. Cut the toast into heart shapes with a heart shaped cutter, then put the cutter onto the plate, fill with the scrambled eggs and press firmly. Lift the cutter off carefully. Sprinkle with pepper and serve with a rose on the side to decorate!

Valentine's Day Breakfast Menu No. 2
Eggs Benedict Recipe
Breakfast for two
EGGS BENEDICT
Ingredients
A little white wine vinegar to poach eggs
4 large eggs (fresh, free range are best!)
2 muffins
Hollandaise sauce
4 slices cured ham, pancetta or bacon
Butter
Method
Fry your ham, poach your eggs, toast and butter your muffins. Put the ham followed by the eggs onto the muffin and top with sauce. If you like you can grill them to slightly brown the sauce.
Our Eggs are From Our Own Hens
Nothing like a freshly laid egg!
On top of this we feed our hens just maize and wheat together with a bit of dry bread from time to time: nothing is wasted here if I can help it!
Free Range Eggs from our Copper Black Maran Hens
They lay wonderful, dark brown eggs
Most of our hens are copper black marans, a local Charante breed of dark coloured hens with coppery necks. They are an egg and meat breed, so we get fewer eggs than we might, but the eggs that we do get are a wonderful, dark brown. At their best the eggs can be a rich burgundy colour, but, alas, I've never achieved this with my tiny flock.
We Make Our Own Jam and Jellies
And serve our own fruit when in season
We also have wild fruits, blackberries, elderberries and sloes. I try to make as much of our own jam, cheeses and jellies as I can, but keeping up is hard work! It's fun, though, going through my Granny's old cook books and finding new and interesting combinations. I had fun making apple jelly flavoured with lavender this year.
Honey From Our Bees
Sweets for your sweet ...
We have our own bees at Les Trois Chenes. They have all the wild flowers of Limousin to produce their honey and it tastes gorgeous. We collect the honey from up to three hives in the autumn and extract most of the honey, filter it and put it into jars. That's all. We don't intervene any more than that with the product. Over winter the liquid honey solidifies and crystalises. This is a natural process and while you can gently warm it to recreate the liguid state, we like to just leave ours - it stays on the bread more easily! What could be more natural? All Our Breakfasts are Served on Limoges Porcelain
It makes your visit to Limousin just that little bit more special
Limoges is famous for its beautiful, translucent, fine and strong porcelain and to this day porcelain is produced in Limousin. You can find some excellent bargains if you visit one of the many factory shops. Why not make a shopping holiday of it? I've written several guides which you might find useful, and if you're thinking of buying a loved one a Valentine gift ...... then what could be better?
