Any suggestions?

Excellent choice OP, I was going to suggest cheese and Worcestershire sauce. I do think the addition of butter is overly decadent though.

Butter and a slice of cheddar with some roasted and salted cashew nuts on the side.

Talipesmum · 21/09/2021 09:43

All excellent suggestions, and your breakfast looked great!

Just to add into the mix for another time: Pistachio creme. Available in jars from Italian delis and amazon and probably elsewhere. It’s amazing and particularly good on granary toast, crumpets, and thickly swirled through Greek yoghurt.

Not had crumpets for decades and never seen them over here ( Ireland)nd not on my supermarket stock list

Need crumpets!

ENjoy..Would be butter and home made blackberry jam for me...

Good choice. I'm currently working my way through the dregs of the freezer and yesterday I found some M&S crumpets that were reduced and I'm having mine with a thin omelette, because it's easier and quicker than scrambled egg and crumpets by themselves make me starving not long after for some reason.

Poached egg (make sure the yolk is runny!)
Marmite and tahini

I'm from the UK but live in Germany and they don't do crumpets here and I really really miss them!

What do you mean "crumpet" singular!?

You need at least three Grin

MrsDThomas · 21/09/2021 09:50

Salted butter plus sea salt top. I have a pot of Anglesey sea salt just for this

CleopatrasBeautifulNose · 21/09/2021 09:53

Rhubarb and ginger jam, the tang complements the buttered crumpet perfectly. And has a lovely autumn flavour which goes with the psychological pleasure of hot crumpets on a misty morning.

Stickytreacle · 21/09/2021 09:56

Has to be butter, melted cheese and pear chutney

SophiesMummySaid · 21/09/2021 14:39

Is butter with cheese too decadent ? 🤔
It was a bit greasy but in a lovely buttery way
Have some great ideas for my next breakfast!

Do you mean butter with crumpets?

Actually if you're after a more sweet idea (yet healthier than drowned in butter Hmm) there was a lovely hairy bikers recipe, that had warm spiced berries and yoghurt on top.

MintyGreenDream · 21/09/2021 15:42

Melted cheese

SophiesMummySaid · 21/09/2021 20:15

Butter AND cheese AND crumpets @KupoNutCoffee

Who else will be having crumpets this weekend? 😁

As an aside, I came across a recipe for crumpets when I was looking for ratatouille in a book today: they look really easy.

Anyone who’s made them, is it worth it? Do they taste better than bought?

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 21/09/2021 20:32

Crunchy peanut butter

Or toasted, butter, black pepper and cold cheese

I moved to a country that doesn’t have crumpets a year ago and I miss them SO much

TheSpottedZebra · 21/09/2021 20:34

Eggy Crumpet.

Like Eggy Bread, but more crumpetty.

suckingonchillidogs · 21/09/2021 20:39

Poor Amaretto in the crumpet holes, seal over with Nutella, thank me later

suckingonchillidogs · 21/09/2021 20:41

POUR even

georgarina · 21/09/2021 20:42

Butter, sugar and lemon

Unfashionable · 21/09/2021 20:45

One with butter & marmite, one with oozing melted cheese, washed down with a large mug of very strong Yorkshire tea. Crumpets are savoury food, so none of your sweet rubbish.

jmh740 · 21/09/2021 20:48

I love pizza crumpets, mix some tom sauce and tom puree some herbs and cheese on top

DowntownFrown · 21/09/2021 20:50

Ugh I’ve read this after eating my crappy, can’t be bothered cooking, dinner of breadsticks and hummus and really wishing I’d had crumpets instead.
Toppings of choice at the moment are chilli jam topped with strong cheddar and then grilled or chilli jam, smashed avocado and a poached egg. That’s my breakfast sorted Grin
