Instructions
- - Step 1Preheat your oven to 200C and line a baking tray with parchment. Lay the sausages and hash browns onto the tray and place in the oven for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway.
- - Step 2Stick a few sprigs of rosemary into the top of your camembert and place onto a separate baking tray lined with parchment. Bake on the middle shelf of your oven for 20 minutes until puffed and oozing.
- - Step 3Fry the bacon in a pan over a low heat, drizzling the maple syrup on top until lightly caramelised and cooked through.
- - Step 4Heat the baked beans in a small saucepan over a medium heat.
- - Step 5Pop the bagel halves into the toaster, slice the figs and warm the croissant for 5-10 minutes at the bottom of the oven.
- - Step 6Arrange all the elements, except for the eggs on a large platter or board.
- - Step 7Make sure you have your tea and coffee brewed, and orange juice on the table.
To make the best jammy eggs:
- - Step 1Fill a pot with enough water to cover your eggs by at least an inch.
- - Step 2Bring to a gentle simmer then lower the eggs in gently
- - Step 3For jammy yolks you want to boil your eggs for 6½ to 7 minutes. While the eggs boil, fill a bowl with ice water.
- - Step 4When the time’s up, immediately transfer your boiled eggs into the ice bath for at least 2–3 minutes. This stops cooking and makes peeling easier.
- - Step 5Crack gently, slide a teaspoon under the shell and peel away.
- - Step 6Slice open to reveal that gorgeous rich, vibrant yolk.
- - Step 7Finish with a sprinkle of chilli flakes for a little extra indulgence.
Pro tip: For extra richness, use large, high-quality eggs (like St. Ewe Luxuriously Large Rich Yolk Eggs) - the deep yolks give you that indulgent, velvety “jammy” effect.
To make the best fried eggs:
- - Step 1Start by heating a non-stick pan over a medium heat. Add a knob of butter or a drizzle of oil then crack your egg into the pan.
- - Step 2Keep the heat medium-low for soft, tender whites, or a little higher if you want lacy, crisp edges.
- - Step 3For sunny-side up, let the egg cook without flipping until the whites are set but the yolk is still runny. You can cover the pan with a lid briefly to help the top set.
- - Step 4Season with a pinch of salt once the whites are set, and add black pepper or chili flakes to taste. Finish with flaky sea salt, fresh herbs and a grind of black pepper.
Pro tip: With St. Ewe Luxurious Large Rich Large eggs, you’ll get that perfect ooze - ideal for dipping hash browns, bagels, or croissants into!
To finish your board:
- - Step 1Add the fried eggs to the top of the toast, and the jammy eggs halves to your board.
- - Step 2Sit down and enjoy immediately!
