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!

POTATO SALAD WITH PEANUT BUTTER

Potato salad makes a perfect side dish, or snack, however I ate this one with bread and some raw salad as a main meal. I often eat potato salad and you will find several recipes on my blog for different versions of potato salad. I like anything with potatoes in it and my recipes will reflect this - I far prefer potatoes to the sweeter, more healthy sweet potatoes! Potato salads are also great to take on a picnic with some thickly sliced buttered bread! This recipe has no mayonnaise in it like a conventional one, and is a nutty version of a conventional potato salad. Once again, I have used one of my favourites, peanut butter and I now always buy the "no added sugar" version of this amazing ingredient. Preparation Time: 10 minutes Cooking Time: 10 minutes Makes: 3 servings, as a main Ingredients 3 medium potatoes 3 tbsp crunchy peanut butter (I used a natural one which is not as sweet as supermarket ones) ½ tbsp whole grain mustard ½ tbsp vinegar 1 tbs

Pizza Toppings Using Leftovers

I had family from Interstate, and did not have much in the house, so we decided to make our own pizzas.  These are far healthier than bought ones, and two of the people also had to eat dairy free, so I knew exactly what was in the pizzas. Pizzas are not really difficult to make, nor do they take a long time to make.  I usually make double the dough and freeze it so that I can just take it out of the freezer and make a pizza whenever I feel like it, or whenever I have leftovers! However, in this instance, I had no dough and was in a hurry so used a bought base, which is not as nice as my own! Pizzas are great as they can be made with whatever you have in the pantry, or the fridge, and the following are some suggestions for when you have unexpected visitors, or if you want a very tasty casual meal.  It is also a way to get children to eat vegetables, as they are often "hidden" when cut finely and cooked.  You could also put grated vegetables in the dough which children
