Chipotle Chilli Egg Crumpets with Crispy Bacon and Maple Syrup step by step
- I tend to make this in two batches, one serving at a time. You might be able to do all of it at once if you have a massive frying pan. This method is for doing one very large serving at a time..
- Start by adding a generous amount of oil to a frying pan. Don't heat it just yet or you'll get spat at later..
- In a bowl, whisk half the eggs with a fork and add the half the chipotle paste. You can vary the amount of chilli paste depending on how you like it. 1 tsp is like seasoning, 2 or 3 you can really taste the smokiness of the chipotle in the end dish..
- Take 3 of the crumpets and one by one, soak them in the egg mixture, pressing down so it's soaked up like a sponge..
- Carefully place the egg laden crumpets on the oil, the right way up, and use the remaining egg mixture to pour in to the holes..
- Fry on a high heat until the crumpets are nicely browned underneath then turn them over and turn the heat right down to a simmer. Be careful that the egg doesn't spill out of each crumpet. The oil might start foaming at this point so keep an eye on that too..
- I use crispy bacon from the supermarket for this but you could use proper bacon and crisp that up separately. I keep my crispy bacon in the freezer so I always have some to hand, if you're using frozen crispy bacon then add it to the pan just after turning the crumpets over..
- When the crumpets have cooked through, serve with the bacon on top and a generous drizzle of maple syrup..
