Description

Classic Breakfast Eggy Crumpets are a savory, comforting morning dish where crumpets are soaked in a seasoned egg mixture, then pan-fried until golden and fluffy—perfect with toppings like avocado, bacon, or a dollop of yogurt.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 crumpets
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil (for frying)
  • Optional toppings: sliced avocado, crispy bacon, sautéed mushrooms, fresh herbs, yogurt, hot sauce

Instructions

  1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
  2. Dip each crumpet in the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for about 20–30 seconds on each side.
  3. Heat butter or oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add the soaked crumpets and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Serve warm with your choice of toppings.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of paprika or chives to the egg mixture.
  • Great way to use up day-old crumpets.
  • Serve with a side of salad or roasted tomatoes for a more filling meal.
