Crumpets With Cheese & Bacon

Nice way to enjoy English crumpets. If you’re from a country where they’re not widely available do yourself a favour and make some from scratch, there are plenty of recipes on RecipeZaar for them. This recipe really works a lot better using natural cheese rather than processed cheese.

Hopel-Popel

This dish could be served as a brunch dish, or for any light meal or snack. When I came across this recipe tonight in a recipe book – The Midweek Cookbook: 200 Ways with Potatoes – I really hadn’t looked at since the seventies, the name of this dish intrigued me. A web search produced nothing of relevance, just lots of references to dog breeding kennels! So unfortunately I know nothing of the origins of recipe’s name. I’m posting a C21st adaptation here so that I remember to make it some time! It’s actually rather similar to what I’ve always referred to as a chip omelette, although I usually make that with diced raw potatoes.

Tomato and Cheese Quesadilla

A very easy to make lunch. If following a gluten free diet ensure gluten-free corn tortillas are used. You can make these in your frypan or flat sandwich toaster (the type that does not cut your bread). You can also add cooked shredded chicken, ham, avocado,onion, capsicums/peppers, herbs, salsa, chilli sauce-basically any ingredients that you would like in a toasted sandwich.
