French Toast Crumpets

Our morning routine usually consists of Ed being responsible for making breakfast.  He needs far less sleep than I do, so is usually up and about (or at least on the sofa reading the paper on the iPad) before I emerge from under the duvet.

Whilst I am checking my mails, twitter and finishing waking up, Ed is in the kitchen putting breakfast together.  Coffee is essential (Ed once tried the not to be repeated experiment to see if I really was addicted to caffeine by giving me decaf one morning, my resultant grumpiness confirmed a dependence).   Weekday breakfasts are usually simple; smoothies, toast, porridge or cereal – all made interesting with toppings and washed down with juice.   Fresh bread, muffins and pancakes are more for the weekends.

We have the luxury of working from home, so breakfasts are a chance to sit, take stock and plan the day, but for many it is a rushed affair as chores, food and getting out of the house all need to be completed in too short a space of time. I am a great believer that breakfast should be interesting; nothing is more unappealing to me that dry toast or soggy cereal.

Here we used crumpets instead of bread in a twist on French Toast, to make it super speedy for the morning whisk up the egg mixture the night before and store in the fridge.

And if you love French treats, try my eclairs!

      Raw crumpets? Urgh! Far far better toasted, or full of egg.

    What a fabulous idea, we have rushed weekday breakfasts, but I think this would be great at the weekend.

    What a brilliant idea to make crumpets much more appeealing, delicious and a little decadent. Would be a great idea for Mothers Day breakfast too. I have to give these a go, or convince my lot to give them to me as breakfast in bed :)
