Ingredients

• 4 pieces Crumpets
• 2 large Eggs
• 50 ml Milk
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 8 slices Smoked streaky bacon
• 20 grams Butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a large frying pan over medium heat.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 3

Dip each crumpet into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully soaked in the mixture. Let the crumpets absorb the egg mixture for a few seconds.

Step 4

In the preheated frying pan, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and half of the butter. Allow the butter to melt and combine with the oil.

Step 5

Place the soaked crumpets into the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and slightly crispy. Remove the crumpets from the pan and keep warm.

Step 6

In the same pan, add the remaining butter and lay down the bacon slices in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the bacon is crispy and golden.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess grease.

Step 8

Plate the eggy crumpets on a serving dish and top with crispy bacon slices.

Step 9

Optional: Drizzle maple syrup over the eggy crumpets and bacon for an extra layer of flavor.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Eggy Crumpets with Bacon!
