Breakfast Cups
This is a great way to serve an English style breakfast of bacon and eggs but without the panic of getting everything ready at the same time. These little pies can be made in advance and cooked in time for a breakfast where everyone arrives at different times. I made some with a bread shell and some with filo pastry, which I happened to have in the fridge. A lot of breakfast cup recipes whisk the eggs for a kind of quiche result, but these have a gorgeous whole egg yolk in the centre, which I find much more breakfasty. With hindsight I would have cooked the cases a little before adding the filling, so the centres could be slightly softer, so I've added that in to the method, but you can also just cook them whole for a firmer filling. The following quantities made 7 cups, enough for three people and a spare, just increase the amounts as necessary.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 180/Gas 4. Brush deep patty pans/muffin tins with melted butter and cut a circle out of each slice of bread to line the base, use the rest of the bread to line the sides.
- 2
Brush the sheet of filo pastry with butter and cut in half, use the squares to line the tin, setting them at angles so the points create a star shape. Brush all the linings with melted butter.
- 3
Fry the rashers of bacon in a pan until just cooked. Place the muffin tin in the oven for about 10 minutes until half baked.
- 4
In a bowl whisk the whole egg with the creme fraiche and some salt and pepper.
- 5
Cut each bacon rasher in half and add to the tins. Then spoon a little of the whisked egg and cream mixture into the bottom, and add a pinch of cheese.
- 6
Carefully drop a whole egg yolk on top of the cheese, you want them to be in the centre, so make a little dip in the cream/cheese mixture to drop the yolk into. Then spoon the rest of the whisked egg and cream mixture on top.
- 7
Finally, top with another pinch of cheese (not too much) and a sprinkling of paprika or smoked paprika.
- 8
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes (or around 15-20 minutes if you haven't partially cooked the bases) until the centres are just set and the cases are crisp. Serve warm rather than piping hot, with ketchup.

Sig's Crispy Duck Egg with Herb, Honey and Mustard Sauce Sig's Crispy Duck Egg with Herb, Honey and Mustard Sauce
I love duck eggs , was just a little fed up with eating them just boiled. I thought of my other deep fried egg recipe on here, but wanted something a little different. Then I thought of making Scotch Eggs with them, but decided to just use flour, egg and breadcrumb mix instead.They make awesome very yellow sponge cakes too. They are heavier than chicken eggs, they usually work out about two duck eggs to three chicken eggs, but can vary hugely in size so weigh then up against chicken eggs.

Tex's Mam's Scalloped Potatoes 🐷🍲 Tex's Mam's Scalloped Potatoes 🐷🍲
I've been eating these since I was a child in the 1960s and my sisters since the late 1940s.My mam and dad were married during WWII when food was rationed in Britain. Potatoes and onions weren't rationed, however meat was, but fortunately my dad made an arrangement with a local farmer to keep a few pigs at his farm. With the addition of a little water and some stock cubes, this little beauty is what Mam came up with. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
