This recipe is from Jamie Oliver’s ‘Jamie at Home’ book (available here on Amazon) – since we first had this it has been a real favourite for my husband and I- it’s super easy to do but qualifies as a ‘special’ breakfast in our house! You might feel a bit doubtful about the addition of the chilli, but please try it (if you generally like chilli) it works SO well with the rest of the ingredients. We always have ours with brown sauce although Jamie says you can also use maple syrup.
If you are following Slimming World then the crumpets do use up some of your syns for the day- I have used Co-op crumpets here which are 4.5 syns each (and I’m having 2!) but it’s Mother’s day and I think I deserve a treat! However, I think one eggy crumpet would still provide you with a filling and satisfying breakfast!
(Please note that in the photo I haven’t removed the fat from the bacon as I usually would!)
I just made this for the first time and it was really nice and so easy to make. I even added some baked beans with mine. The only thing I wasn’t sure was if the crumpets had to be cooked before adding to the egg, I guess not else it would say. The crumpets tasted a bit doughy that’s the only thing. Otherwise I will definitely have this one again.
