Prince Charles has shared his favourite brunch recipe on Instagram like a true influencer

Prince Charles has bounced back after an early coronavirus diagnosis and appears to be embracing lockdown at Birkhall Cottage like a seasoned influencer.

The heir to the throne has shared glimpses of life in Scotland with Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, during the pandemic, including video calls from his office (iPad balanced on a stack of books), chats with the postman, their dogs Bluebell and Beth and Thursday night clapping for the NHS.

Now, he's shared his favourite brunch recipe.

To mark the final day of the British Cheese Weekender, a celebration of UK-made cheeses, the Prince of Wales shared the recipe for indulgent Cheesy Baked Eggs to the Clarence House Instagram account.

The recipe came with a message from the Prince of Wales - who has been Patron of the Speciality Cheesemakers Association for nearly 30 years - encouraging people to support British produce.

“British cheesemakers need our support during this time of great uncertainty, and we can all help in the simplest way," the caption read.

"By sourcing British cheese from local shops and cheesemongers, and directly from producers online, you can make a vital contribution to keeping these small businesses afloat during the prevailing crisis.”

Ingredients and instructions for one of his "favourite recipes" - Cheesy Baked Eggs - were shared to the Clarence House account, which features cherry tomatoes, double cream, hard cheese and spinach.

The recipe added that "where possible" organic ingredients should be used.

Charles has long been an advocate for eating and growing organic food - his Duchy Originals range, much of it organic, is sold in supermarkets with profits going to charitable causes.
