Butter: Mix finely chopped chervil with butter and spread it over toast or use it to flavour steamed vegetables or fish.
Eggs: Add a handful of chopped chervil to scrambled eggs or an omelette for an added depth of flavour.
Pesto: Use chervil in place of basil in your homemade pesto. Mix with garlic, parmesan cheese, and pine nuts for a twist on a classic recipe.
