Introduction from Rukmini Iyer

I love French toast, and I love crumpets, and this version with sage, cheddar and chilli is an indulgent, moreish snack. Serve for brunch late-morning, or as an afternoon snack.

Ingredients

3 medium free-range eggs, lightly beaten
3 tbsp yogurt
100g cheddar, grated
1 fresh red chilli, finely chopped
20 fresh sage leaves, chopped
½ tsp sea salt flakes
6 crumpets
freshly ground black pepper, to serve

Essential kit

You will need: a barbecue.

Method

Whisk the eggs, yogurt, cheddar, chilli, sage and sea salt flakes together in a large bowl. Gently stir through your crumpets to thoroughly coat them in the mixture, letting them soak for 5–10 minutes if you have time.

When your barbecue is good and hot, fish the crumpets out of the bowl and place them on the well-oiled grill, bubbly side up. Spoon any remaining cheese and egg mixture over the bubbly side, grill for 3–4 minutes, then flip over and cook for a further 2–3 minutes until the egg has just set. Serve immediately, with a sprinkling of freshly ground black pepper.

Note: For a portable version, pack your egg mixture and crumpets separately, then dip them into the mixture and barbecue them to order. You can, of course, also cook these in a frying pan.
