A nice little side dish that is made in the microwave to make it easier and keep the nice pale colors. You will need a cup or portion dish for each one.
1 small shallot
1 egg
1tbl grated Parmesan cheese
1tbl cream
1tbl almond flakes
Peel and chop the shallot.
Place in the bottom of the dish/cup, cover and heat at full power in the microwave for 1-2min.
Mix in the Parmesan with the onion.
Break the egg into the cup/dish.
Carefully poke a hole in the yolk with a toothpick. (you want the yolk as whole as possible but you don't want it to explode)
Pour over the cream and the almond flakes.
Cover and cook at half effect for 4-5min.
Let sit for a few minutes to let the heat even out.
Serve with spinach or smoked salmon.
Enjoy!

Almond Peaches
A quick and easy dessert made all the easier by using canned peaches and store bought almond paste.
1 can of peaches in syrup (ca. 825g usually)
200g almond paste
1/2dl syrup from the canned peaches
30g almond flakes
Set the oven to 250ºC.
Grease an oven safe dish and place the peaches in it cup side down.
Grate the almond paste finely. (Easier to do when the paste is cold)
Beat the syrup together with the almond paste using an electric whisk.
Spread the mixture evenly between the holes in the peaches and sprinkle the almond flakes over the top of them.
Bake in the middle of the oven for 10-15min.
Serve slightly warm with vanilla ice-cream.
Enjoy!

Almond Flarns
These chewy cookies are the perfect accompaniment to ice-cream or fresh berries. Flarn is Swedish for a thin or flat cookie or biscuit.
100g chopped almonds
1dl sugar
1tbl honey
100g butter
2tbl flour
1tbl milk
Set the oven to 200ºC.
Mix and heat almonds, sugar, honey and butter in a saucepan.
Add the flour and milk when the butter has melted.
Let simmer for 1-2 minutes.
Spread teaspoon sized dollops on a baking paper covered pan. (don't place them too close together because they spread quite a bit)
Bake in the middle of the oven for 5-6min until they have a nice golden grown color.
If you want them bent for something a little fancier let them cool off a little bit and place them on a rolling pin or bottle.
Otherwise just let them get cold as they are.
Keep in cookie jars with tight lids.
Enjoy!
