Tom Parker Bowles Shares Queen Camilla’s Four-Ingredient Boxing Day Breakfast

The simple dish from his royal cookbook is being widely shared as a festive staple with a cheeky Princess Margaret nickname.

Overview

  • The recipe, described by Parker Bowles as a Boxing Day staple, was recounted in his book Cooking and The Crown.
  • It uses four ingredients for two servings: eggs, salted butter, smoked salmon and bread.
  • Method highlights include whisking lightly, cooking over gentle heat with about 30g butter, folding in smoked salmon and serving on buttered brown bread.
  • Princess Margaret disliked the term scrambled and preferred calling the dish buttered eggs, according to Parker Bowles.
  • Coverage also cites nutritionist Helen Bell on eggs’ protein and satiety benefits and reports a Daily Record estimate of roughly £9.69 for the ingredients at Asda, or about £4.84 per portion, with prices varying.
