What do you like on your crumpets?

[quirkyquerty]

Time of day affects toppings for me- in the morning if I were to have a crumpet, it's strictly toasted with butter. Mid afternoon, I'd go for butter, thin layer of marmite and a slice of cheddar. Evening crumpet- crumbled blue cheese and a drizzle of honey.

It sounds like I eat crumpets three times a day, but actually I remember to buy a pack once in a blue moon and remember how good they are

I agree, but if you put raspberry jam on them as well, that also sinks into the holes. Yum!

Cottage cheese

Butter and marmjte. They need to be toasted properly though.

I find it difficult to decide as there are three things I like:

• butter and marmite
• butter and jam
• peanutbutter

Just butter sometimes marmite

I only learned about Marmite on crumpets last year. OMG - it's the bee's knees.

In a wine bar once, I had crumpets with melted cheese and chilli jam. Delicious.

I've also had crumpets in a cafe where they were done like eggy bread then topped with avocado and red chilli.

Butter. Sometimes honey or jam as well. Lemon curd or blackcurrant jam are particularly good.

Also good is butter and a poached or lightly boiled egg.

I like crumpet pizzas - so lightly toasted, spread with tomato puree, maybe a bit of ham or whatever you fancy and then cheese, then grilled.

Butter always then:
Cheese and pickle or
Jam, peanut butter, marmite (not all at once!)

Nutella

Just salted butter, and plenty of it.

Toasted so the edges are brown and crispy, then butter, lots of butter. Every Sunday for tea. I have tried them with Marmite, but that just feels so wrong. Marmite = white bread doorsteps for me.

Toasted until very dark and crunchy. Then as much butter as it'll take. Then some more butter.
The butter has to be nice and salty.

Mine have to be quite burnt with lots of butter !

Nothing just by itself

About 150g 😬 of salted butter.

just butter or butter with marmite, but I LOVE the sound of adding some cheddar - going to try that!

DC have butter and jam

DH uses soft cheese sometimes

I like them very lightly toasted, with unsalted butter and a tiny bit of marmite. If they have been toasted long enough to change colour, then I eat them when they've gone cold, but still with a bit of marmite. I've never thought of adding cheese, but will try that.

Double toasted with butter or lightly toasted with golden syrup

Just salted butter and real butter not spreadable butter

I don’t like anything else on my crumpet

ds likes chocolate spread then on top marmalade which is a lovely combination but not on a crumpet

Heavily toasted, lots of butter, a bit of sea salt and lots of cracked black pepper. Incredible. Sometimes melted cheese if I need something more.

I'm usually a sweet tooth person but sweet stuff on crumpets is nowhere near as good. But butter, jam and peanut butter is also decent.

I love butter, marmite and cheese too! Any time of day. Also butter and jam.

absolutely toasted more than you think!

Poached eggs and turmeric

Double toasted in the toaster so they're nice and crispy, LOADS of real butter, Marmite XO (the stronger stuff) and a slice of cold (never melted) extra mature cheddar. Eat by nibbling around the edges then cramming the middle bit with the most butter and cheese on it in all in one go.

I'm sure I look highly alluring at this point, dribbling melted butter down my chin with my mouth stuffed full of deliciousness 😋 😅
