Welcome to Milly's



1/2
We are an independant deli cafe in Leigh-on-Sea. Established in 2008, we set out to source the very best food from all over the UK and worldwide, to be served in a friendly and inviting atmosphere. We have a lovely garden which opens in the spring/summer months, and dishes in our menus use only these best ingredients and change daily/seasonally.

A winter warmer recipe for you all!
The perfect tartiflette made using ingredients from Millyâs!
Stocking both the @cobblelanecured meats and Ogleshield from @nealsyarddairy here at Millyâs! Come in today and grab the best bits.
From the Doorstep kitchen this recipe will have you loving life!!!
Ingredients
250g smoked cured pork belly or bacon, chopped into small pieces
Charcuterie, to serve, I recommend The Real Cure, Cobble Lane Cured and Trealy Farm
1kg waxy potatoes, peeled and sliced to the thickness of just over a pound coin
1 large white onion, diced
300ml double cream
2 garlic cloves, crushed
200ml white wine
300g Ogleshield or Helford White cheese, chopped into rough chunks
Sea salt and black pepper
Method
Preheat your oven to 180°C
Bring a pan of generously salted water to the boil, add your potato slices and cook for 5 minutes. Drain and plunge into cold water
Fry the cured meat until crispy, then remove with a slotted spoon and set to one side
Using the fat remaining in the pan, gently fry your onion until soft, and then add your garlic, cooking for a further minute. Season generously with pepper and remove from the heat
Take a large ovenproof dish and fill it with layers of the potato slices, alternating with your crispy meat, onion and chunks of cheese. Finish the top layer with just cheese
Season the cream with salt and pepper, and mix into with the wine. Pour this over the potatoes and cheese
Bake uncovered for 40 minutes until the top is golden but the potatoes are cooked through. A sharp knife inserted into the potatoes should slide out easily
