Crumpet Eggy Bread

Course: Breakfast
Cuisine: English
Diet: Vegerarian
Servings: 0

Ingredients

  • 2 crumpets
  • 2 medium eggs
  • 2 tbsp milk or cream if you’re feeling indulgent
  • Pinch of salt
  • Small knob of butter or butter + a little oil

Instructions

Lightly toast the crumpets

  • Just until dry on the outside — don’t brown them. This stops them collapsing when soaked.

Beat the eggs

  • Whisk eggs, milk, salt (and any sweet/savoury extras).

Soak the crumpets

  • Place crumpets hole-side down first for 30–45 seconds, then flip and soak another 30 seconds.
  • You want them well-filled but not disintegrating.

Fry gently

  • Heat butter in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat.
  • Cook crumpets for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and set through the middle.
