Eggs in Purgatory

I was recently watching reruns of Nigellissima and Nigella was making this dish. I realised it was quite a while since I had made it. So I vowed to put that right and made it the following evening.

Homemade Granola with Rhubarb Compote

  On the days when I want to feel all smug and virtuous, I like to have granola for breakfast. It’s usually downhill after that!

Ricotta Pancakes

  I know, I know, you’re probably all completely over pancakes at the stage. I’m never over pancakes, I love Pancake Tuesday because I can eat them all day without feeling guilty. I would eat them every day If it didn’t mean I’d be the size of a house!

Baked Eggs

Easy Breakfast Burritos

This is another favourite breakfast in our home. You can eat it anytime really. It is very easy but really hits the spot, particularly if it’s the morning after the night before! It’s the classic combination of eggs, tomato and chilli.

The dish is made up of a toasted buttery breakfast muffin topped with ham or bacon, a perfectly soft poached egg and covered by a buttery hollandaise sauce.
