This is a perfect tea for lots of hungry children, but it would also be a good weekend late breakfast, depending on your mood. It’s the classic way that many crêpe stallholders cook crêpes to order late at night around the major tourist attractions in Paris. They are always very popular, often with long queues, and once you’ve tasted them it’s easy to understand why.
Ingredients
24 asparagus spears
8 eggs
450 g swiss cheese, such as gruyère or emmental (thinly sliced)
8 slices of cooked ham
1 tblsp olive oil
Crêpes:
100 g plain flour
1 egg
300 ml milk
sunflower oil (for frying)
sea salt
black pepper (freshly ground)
Method
Sift the flour and a pinch of salt into a bowl and make a well in the centre. Add the egg and whisk well with a balloon whisk.
Gradually beat in the milk, drawing in the flour from the sides to make a smooth batter. Leave to rest for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, trim the asparagus spears and blanch in a pan of boiling water for 1–2 minutes, until almost tender but still with a slight bite.
Drain and refresh under cold running water to prevent them from cooking any further and set aside until needed.
Heat a little oil in an 18cm (7in) heavy-based pancake or frying pan. Pour in just enough batter to thinly coat the base of the pan.
Cook over a moderately high heat for about 1 minute, until golden brown. Turn or toss the crêpe and break in an egg, then gently whisk to spread it evenly all over the crêpe.

Experiment with other flavour additions – a little chopped cooked ham or Parma ham, diced cooked mushrooms, a few herbs or some sliced artichoke heart can all go into the base before you crack in the egg. For a really extravagant addition, add a drop or two of white truffle oil over the cream.
Ingredients
Butter, for greasing
2 ripe vine tomatoes, peeled, seeded and finely chopped
4 large eggs
4 tblsp cream
25g (1oz) mature cheddar cheese, finely grated
1 tsp snipped fresh chives
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Griddled sourdough bread sliced into chunky fingers, to serve
Method
Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F/gas mark 5).
Butter 4 blini pans or ramekins and scatter the tomatoes in the bottom.
Crack an egg into each blini pan and season with salt, then add 1 tablespoon of cream to each one and scatter the cheddar on top.
Arrange the blini pans in a shallow roasting tin and pour in enough boiling water to come about halfway up the side of each pan.
Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, until the eggs are set and the cheese is bubbling.
Set each blini pan on a plate and scatter over the chives, then add the chunky bread fingers to serve.

Its one of my favourite snacks, straight from the jar or served on a mound of yogurt, usually @gleniskinsta greek yogurt.
A generous drizzle of peanut butter on top for good measure. This one is @manhattan.ie which is one my faves, both the smooth and crunchy are drippy, with that classic peanut butter stick to the mouth feel.
Perfect for drizzling, spreading, eating straight from the tub, and of course making granola.
Jumbo oats are a must for the best granola, in my granola munching opinion. You just can’t beat @flahavans jumbo oats. One of my store cupboard and breakfast staples.
