This Mother’s Day (Sunday 10th March), Tesco is helping the nation dish out the love, with a collection of delicious recipes to enjoy cooking up in the comfort of your home. From breakfast in bed to a freshly baked afternoon tea, Tesco has all the essentials to surprise your Mum without breaking the bank, making it a day to remember.
Start the day right with breakfast in bed
Begin the day by treating Mum to breakfast in bed, with a few simple items that’ll whip up a restaurant-worthy Eggs Benedict in a flash. And why not go the extra mile with a homemade twist on the classic, with tangy marmite-infused hollandaise sauce to top it off?
Toast the Tesco Finest White Sourdough Loaf (£1.70), for that satisfying crunch on the base. For the topping, mash both Tesco Ripe & Ready Twin Pack Avocados (£1.60) and add a squeeze of Tesco Organic Unwaxed Lemons (£1.80), for a creamy spread with a zesty twist.
Top with a perfectly poached egg, using the Tesco Medium Free Range Eggs 6 Pack (£1.50). Include a dash of Tesco White Wine Vinegar (£1.30) in the water; the hint of acidity will ensure the eggs are poached to perfection.
For the sauce, combine Tesco Finest Hollandaise Sauce (£1.80) with a teaspoon of Marmite Yeast Extract Spread (£3.00). Jamie Robinson, Executive Chef at Tesco, recommends gently warming the Tesco Finest Hollandaise Sauce before mixing in the Marmite to ensure the sauce blends perfectly. Finish the dish with a sprinkle of toasted Tesco Whole Foods 4 Seed Mix (£2.50) for a delightful crunch.
Bring some extra joy by serving it up on Mother’s Day morning using the Breakfast in Bed Gift Set (£10.00). The set features a stylish mug, tray and spoon, accompanied with 100% Black tea bags and Chocolate Chip Cookies, perfect for a must-have morning treat.
Spoil mum with a freshly baked afternoon tea
Surprise Mum with a home-made high tea worthy of a queen. Begin with a twist on the classic Raspberry Scones – a fruity delight with a unique touch that’s sure to get the rest of the family flocking round.
For scones that are both light and delicately sweet, start by mixing Tesco Self Raising Flour (£0.79) with Tesco Golden Caster Sugar (£2.45). Then, combine Tesco No Added Sugar Pink Lemonade (£0.80) with some deliciously fluffy Tesco British Whipping Cream (£1.35) and gently pour over the dry ingredients to form a soft, creamy dough. For a burst of flavour and colour in every bite, mix in a pack of tangy yet sweet Tesco Raspberries (£1.80).
To achieve perfectly golden scones, Jamie Robinson, executive chef at Tesco, recommends brushing the tops with a light egg wash before baking. This will give them a beautiful shine and a slightly crisp exterior. When serving, add a spoonful of Tesco Seedless Raspberry Jam (£0.89) and a generous dollop of whipped cream, creating a combination that’s not only visually stunning but also incredibly tasty!
To complement a homemade afternoon tea, the Tesco Finest Crème Eclairs (£3.50 or £2.95 on CCP) beautifully balance the rustic charm of raspberry scones. These classic choux pastries are generously filled with strawberry conserve and lusciously whipped British cream, topped off with a layer of strawberry Belgian white chocolate fondant and a hand-applied layer of white chocolate icing. Present the sweet treats alongside a pot of Tesco Finest English Breakfast Tea (£2.60) or make a well-deserved toast to mum by popping open a bottle of Tesco Finest Prosecco Brut (£8.00).
