Eggy Bubble n’ Squeak
A brilliantly easy Boxing Day meal, or simply just to make use of your festive leftovers, this Bubble and Squeak recipe with added fried eggs is super simple - and best of all, it only uses one pan!
The ingredients and quantities are just a guide - this recipe can really be led by what and how much you have left in your fridge. This is also a great recipe for vegetarians - simply omit the meat and perhaps replace with vegetarian stuffing.
Prep: 5 minutes | Cook: 15 minutes
Serves 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp rapeseed oil or salted butter
- 300g cooked roasted potatoes
- 500g cooked, leftover veg (carrot, sprouts, cabbage, parsnip etc.)
- 250g cooked turkey, shredded or roughly chopped
- Sea salt & cracked black pepper
- 4 large FREE eggs
- 50g crispy fried onions
Method
- Place a large frying pan over a medium to high heat and add the oil or butter. Place the potatoes and leftover veg on a large chopping board and rough chop all together into roughly 1 - 2 cm pieces.
- Add the chopped veg into the hot pan and allow to fry on high for 4 - 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure nothing sticks but do allow the veggies to crisp and colour so avoid over-stirring.
- Once the veggies are starting to crisp, add the shredded turkey before seasoning with a little salt and pepper. Fry for a further 2 - 3 minutes.
- When the turkey has warmed through, make 4 deep wells in the bubble & squeak mixture and turn down the heat to medium. Carefully crack an egg into each well and allow to fry for 3 - 4 minutes until the white is set but the yolk is still runny (you can add a lid at this stage to help the eggs to cook).
- When the eggs are set, remove from the heat and sprinkle generously with the crispy fried onions. Serve straight to the table with a choice of sauce - brown, tomato or chilli sauce all work brilliantly with this recipe.
