They're cheesy, delicious and can can be whipped up in a jiffy. Once baked in the oven, they make for a fantastically tasty meal.

This recipe feeds one person, with a 2 eggy crumpet recipe, but you can of course multiply the ingredients to make more.

Ingredients

• 2 crumpets
• 1 medium free range eggs
• 1 tbsp milk
• 40g (1.5 oz) grated cheese
• salt and pepper
• sprig fresh parsley

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200C/390F (180C/355F fan). Beat the egg and milk together.

Season well with salt and pepper.

Put two egg rings on an oiled baking sheet and push the crumpets to the bottom inside - it needs to be a snug fit.

Whisk the eggs and milk together and pour evenly on top of the crumpets into the rings.

Sprinkle the cheese on top of each one.

Bake in the oven for around 7-10 minutes, until bubbly and set through.

Allow to cool a little, then lift off the rings.

Serve with a sprinkling of parsley and a pinch of ground pepper.

Gorgeous, huh?
