Prep: 5 mins | Cook: 20 mins

Serves 4 people

Ingredients

  • 6 thick crumpets
  • 3 large FREE eggs
  • 100ml milk
  • Sea salt & cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 tin of baked beans (serve the remainder on the side if desired)
  • 100g grated cheese
  • TO SERVE
  • Worcestershire sauce, optional

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 200C/180C fan. Cut the crumpets in half and place cut-side down in a the prepared baking dish (Tip – if you love your crumpets super crunchy, do a light toast before chopping in half and layering)
  2. In a jug, whisk together the eggs, milk and 50g cheese before seasoning with a little salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the crumpets and allow to soak for 10 minutes.
  3. Once the majority of the egg mixture has been absorbed, spoon over the beans before sprinkling over the remaining cheese.
  4. Place the dish in the oven to cook for 20 - 25 minutes until the cheese and beans are bubbling and the crumpets are golden.
  5. Remove from the oven, sprinkle over the Worcestershire sauce, if using, and serve straight to the table alongside the remaining baked beans if desired.
