  • 1/2 cup of cooked peas
  • 4 slices of thick-cut ham
  • 1/2 cup of boiled potato
  • 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon of mustard
  • Oil
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions:

  1. Heat the oil in a pan. Mash the potatoes, and add the mash to the pan.
  2. Cut the ham into thin strips, after the potatoes have had 5 minutes add the peas and ham to the pan.
  3. Cook for 10 minutes, until the potato is starting to crisp. Add the mustard, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper, and stir through.

Easy Tomato Eggs

Ingredients:

  • 1 tin of tomatoes
  • 4 eggs
  • 4 slices of wholemeal bread
  • 3 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 4 cloves of garlic
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions:

  1. Finely slice the garlic and add it to a pan with the olive oil. Fry it until it’s turning golden brown, don’t let it burn.
  2. Pour half of the oil into a heat-proof container to use in a moment. Add the tomatoes to the rest of the oil in the pan. Stir through well.
  3. As the tomatoes cook, cube the bread slices and cook them in the rest of the oil in a separate pan over high heat. The aim is to produce small, crispy croutons, but don’t let them burn.
  4. Meanwhile, poach the eggs in boiling water (adding a drop of white wine vinegar to the water can help the eggs stay whole).
  5. Serve the poached eggs on top of the tomato sauce with croutons on the side.
