EGG SOAKED CRUMPETS WITH BACON & MAPLE SYRUP

By -
I love cooked breakfast, and indeed love to go out for breakfast during the week when there are not a lot of people around.

However, especially during the colder months, I have experimented with different cooked breakfast or brunches at home, and this recipe is another great breakfast or brunch idea, which I served with maple syrup.

Maple syrup oddly enough, goes very well with a lot of savoury dishes, and you will find I use this natural product (I always buy the pure, more expensive form) regularly in my recipes, both breakfast, dinner and dessert.

For this recipe, I actually also tried one with tomato sauce, however I liked the maple syrup better - bacon and maple syrup are a "match made in heaven".

Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time:10 minutes
Makes: 2 servings

Ingredients
4-5 pieces shortcut bacon
1 large egg
1 egg yolk
2 crumpets cut in half
Knob of butter
Maple syrup to taste

Method
Fry the bacon.  I did this in the microwave between two sheets of paper towel, however you could also do it in the frypan.

Beat the egg and egg yolk together in a bowl, and add the freshly ground pepper.

Dip the crumpets into this egg mixture, doing a few at a time.

Put the butter into a frypan, and fry the crumpets.

When they are golden brown on both sides, and just cooked, remove them from the pan.

Serve them to the whole family - most children will love these!

The flavour of the lemon mixed with cream, and the runny texture of the middle of the pudding, will make this dish a "stunner" for any visitors, or family.  Best make it for family, then you might get more yourself!

If you like caramel, you will love this recipe - it has apples in it so it can't be unhealthy!  Doesn't an apple a day keep the doctor away? You could substitute a different nut for the pecans, however they DID give it an extra nice taste, and the combinations on this slice work brilliantly together. As with much of my other baking, I have used coconut sugar as it is an organic product that is not real sugar and is not refined, and therefore healthier,  It is also not as sweet as sugar. I have used bought caramel sauce in this instance, however you could make this yourself. Preparation Time: 30 minutes Cooking Time: 40 minutes Makes: 16 servings Ingredients ¾ cup butter, softened 1 cup coconut sugar - or brown sugar 1 cup plain flour 1 cup rolled oats 1 tsp cinnamon ½ tsp baking soda ½ cup finely chopped pecans 3 cups chopped unpeeled apples - about 3 ¾ cup caramel topping ¼ cup plain flour Vanilla ice cream, optional Additional caramel topping, op...
