Recipe by Tom Daley for British Lion Eggs
TOM DALEY’S BUBBLE AND SQUEAK STACK
Bubble and Squeak is a fantastic way to use leftover vegetables from Sunday lunch, making it a fantastic option for a Monday lunch or dinner. Tom adds an egg-tra twist to this classic British dish by topping with a fried egg. Eggs are full of key vitamins and minerals including vitamin D, selenium, B12 and omega-3 fatty acids.
Serves 2
INGREDIENTS
- 3 tomatoes or 2 small vines of cherry tomatoes
- 300g leftover mashed potatoes, or cooked potatoes (roasted, boiled or baked)
- 50g cooked vegetables (a mix of cabbage, carrots and peas is ideal)
- 25g breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp Dijon or wholegrain mustard
- Salt and pepper
- 3 British Lion eggs
- 2 tbsp plain flour
- 2 tbsp sunflower oil
METHOD
- Preheat the oven to 190°C/Gas Mark 5. Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper. Add the tomatoes to one side.
- In a large bowl, lightly mash the potatoes and vegetables together until you have a chunky mixture. Add breadcrumbs, mustard, season with pepper and crack in a British Lion egg. Stir well to form a soft but mouldable mixture.
- Divide the mixture into 4, lightly flour your hands and roll each piece into a ball. Flatten slightly to make a patty.
- Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a large frying pan, add the patties and cook over a medium heat for 2 – 3 minutes per side until deep golden. Transfer to the baking tray with a fish slice and bake for 15 minutes.
- When almost ready, wipe out the pan and add the remaining oil. Crack in the remaining British Lion eggs and cook over a medium-high heat for a few minutes, or until cooked to your liking.
- To serve, stack the bubble and squeak cakes on two plates, add tomatoes on the side, and top each stack with a fried British Lion egg.
COOK’S TIP
If you are using a creamy mash you may need to add extra breadcrumbs to stiffen the mixture.
