Preparation and cooking times
Ready in 1 hr
- Toss the horseradish in the vinegar. Stir in the fromage blanc and cream and season.
- Spread the kippers with butter, give them a good grind of black pepper and cook gently under the grill for 3-4 minutes (this will make it easier to remove the bones but also make the flesh a little more tender). Flake into pieces, removing any skin and bone and put in a food processor. Pulse to a rough texture. Tip into a bowl and mix in the herbs, horseradish cream and lemon juice. Chill for 20 minutes or a few hours if making ahead.
- Gently lower the eggs into boiling water for 5 minutes, remove and plunge into cold water and leave to cool for 5 minutes. Remove the shells, then cut each in half horizontally. Serve a spoonful of the pâté on a plate with the eggs and melba toast
