The humble lemon is one of the food world’s most praised heroes and most cooks will nominate lemons for their top 5 ingredient list. Not only does its sweet, tangy flavour work well in both sweet and savoury dishes, a single squeeze brightens any dish. It’s even often heralded as ‘the new salt’.

LemonGold® Seedless Lemons Raise the Stakes

While this is true for all lemons, the LemonGold® lemon brand has raised the stakes with its seedlessness. No longer do chefs, home-cooks and lovers of all things lemony need to reach for the sieve or have to fish out pesky pips from their salad dressing or healthy home-pressed juice. This sister brand of the popular ClemenGold® mandarin brand, similarly adheres to the strictest quality standards from the farm to the shelf.

LemonGold^® seedless lemons are hand selected for premium quality and packaged with care for a consistently first-class experience.

But Let’s Brunch

French toast, eggy bread, pain perdu…whatever you call it, there’s no doubt this dish is a firm fave. Whether you make it for a weekend brekkie with the family or a leisurely brunch with your pals, this divine recipe transforms regular French toast from passé to c’est magnifique! Thick-cut slices of farm bread are dunked in a decadent mix of egg yolks, cream and milk and fried in butter until just crisp and golden, while retaining a fluffy centre.

To top it we’ve made a lemony labneh that we infused with the zest and juice from LemonGold® seedless lemons.

The citrusy flavour cuts through the richness of the dish and is enhanced with crispy bacon, a drizzle of honey and pistachios.

This labneh is a very versatile recipe to have on hand; divine on this French toast, of course, but equally delish smothered on regular toast, spooned over a bowl of fruit and drizzled with honey or even served dolloped onto shakshuka.
