Toasted Crumpets With Poached Eggs Chorizo And Sweetcorn Food

EGGY CHEESE CRUMPETS

Steps:

• Heat the grill. Beat the eggs and milk together in a wide dish. Submerge the crumpets in the egg mixture, turning them once, then set aside for a few minutes.
• Arrange the tomatoes cut-side up on a baking tray and grill for a few minutes, then cover the tray with foil to keep the tomatoes warm.
• Heat the oil in a frying pan and cook the crumpets for a few minutes on each side until the egg has set - you may have to do this in batches. Transfer them to a baking tray as you go. Once all the crumpets are cooked, top with the cheese and grill for 1-2 mins until the cheese is bubbling and golden. Serve with the tomatoes and avocado slices.

POACHED EGGS ON CRUMPET

Steps:

• sired doneness while the crumpets are toasting.
• Poach eggs to disired doneness.
• toast crumpets.
• spread crumpets with butter and top with eggs.
• place strawberries or tomatoes on the side.

ENGLISH CRUMPETS

Steps:

• Whisk 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Combine water and milk in a separate bowl and quickly whisk the milk mixture into the dry ingredients until batter is thick and smooth. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place until spongy, about 1 hour. Stir dough to reduce sponginess.
• Place a rack into the oven and preheat to 150 degrees F (65 degrees C).
• Spray a skillet and round metal open-top cookie cutters or crumpet molds with cooking spray. Heat skillet over medium-low heat, place the metal cutters or molds into the skillet, and let the molds heat up. Spoon batter into the molds, filling them about halfway. Let the crumpets cook until the bottoms are browned, the tops appear nearly dry, and popped bubbles appear on top, about 5 minutes.
• Use tongs to lift molds out of the pan; remove molds from the crumpets. Flip and return crumpets to skillet to cook the other sides until browned, 1 to 2 more minutes. Repeat with remaining dough. Keep cooked crumpets warm on rack in the preheated oven while you cook remaining crumpets.

POLENTA WITH CHORIZO & POACHED EGGS

Steps:

• Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and add the chorizo. Cook for 5 mins or until starting to crisp. Stir through the chard and leave to wilt for 5-8 mins, then remove from the heat and set aside.
• Bring a pan of water to the boil, reduce to a simmer, then quickly stir the water with a wooden spoon to create a whirlpool. Once the whirlpool has almost completely subsided, crack an egg into the centre of it. Gently simmer for 3 mins, then remove with a slotted spoon. Set aside on a plate while you poach the remaining egg.
• Cook the polenta following pack instructions, then mix in the parmesan, oil, parsley and some seasoning. Spoon the polenta onto plates and top with the chorizo, chard and a poached egg.

POACHED EGG AND SMOKED SALMON CRUMPETS

Steps:

• Put a pan on to heat and pour boiling water from the kettle to a depth of 2.5cm. Keep on a medium heat and when the first small bubbles appear, carefully break the eggs into the water. Using a timer, let them barely simmer for 1 minute.
• Remove the pan from the heat and let them sit in the water for exactly 10 minutes.
• As the eggs are sitting, toast the crumpets.
• Spread the crumpets with butter and top with a slice of salmon. Remove the eggs carefully from the pan with a draining spoon and rest on kitchen paper for a few seconds to drain excess water. Lay on top of the salmon, sprinkle on the chives and some black pepper and serve straight away with a wedge of lemon.

SPANISH EGGS WITH CHORIZO & PEPPERS

Steps:

• Steam the potatoes for 15-20 mins or until cooked.
• Heat 1 tbsp oil in a non-stick pan. Add the onions and peppers, then cook for about 10 mins until soft. Push the peppers to the side of the pan and add the chorizo, sizzling until cooked though and releasing its oils. Transfer to a plate.
• Once cool enough, halve the potatoes. Heat 1 tbsp oil in another non-stick pan and tip in the spuds. Fry for about 10 mins until golden and beginning to crisp. Stir in the onion mix, heat through and season.
• Meanwhile, in the onion pan, fry the eggs to your liking. Place them on top of everything, allowing 1 egg per person.
