Cook’s tip

Replace the bacon with sliced mushrooms and omit the egg for a vegan alternative.

CRUMPETS WITH CHEESY EGG SCRAMBLE

2 crumpets (100g)

Knob butter (15g)

2 medium eggs, beaten

25g cheddar cheese, grated

1 tbsp chopped parsley

Toast the crumpets.

Spread the crumpets with a little butter and marmite before adding the scrambled eggs for a flavour boost.

DIPPY EGGS WITH BACON WRAPPED SOLDIERS

Prep: 10 minutes

4 slices streaky bacon (80g)

2 medium eggs

Preheat the oven to 200^oC, gas mark 6.

Spread the bread with the relish and cut into 4 long strips.

Stretch the bacon with the back of a knife and wrap around the bread strips, place on a baking tray and bake for 15-20 minutes until turning crispy.

Meanwhile, place the eggs in a small saucepan of cold water, bring to the boil and simmer for 4 minutes.

Serve the dippy eggs with the bacon wrapped soldiers.

Cook’s tip

Try pan frying the bacon instead of baking. Great served with scrambled eggs too.
