Crumpet toppings

[ZenZazie]

So I’ve usually played it pretty safe with crumpets and just added lots of butter. Although I did go through a wee phase of having them with bacon and eggs and squishing the runny/jammy yolks down into the crumpets alongside the butter.

But I just tried some with not only butter but a wee touch of Bonne maman salted butter caramel spread and they were amazing.

So it’s made me think what other crumpet combos am I missing out on? Answers on a postcard please

You could add as per a jacket potato, so cheese and beans, tun and mayo, or give it a topping like pizza. I personally like cheese and pickle, or peanut butter and jam

cream cheese and strawberries

peanut butter with banana slices

pistachio spread

strong cheddar and tomatoess

I do this but with plain old tomato ketchup!

As a variation, cut your uncooked crumpets into little squares, toss in melted butter, sugar and sweet cinnamon, then in the air fryer for 15 mins (keep shaking them). Serve with a little pot of Bonne Maman chocolate and orange spread for dipping. Warning - this will NOT help with weight loss.

Butter and marmite

Chopped leftover roast chicken with lemon, mayo and tarragon. Or crab and chives

I make crumpet 'pizza' so tomato puree, cheese and a couple of olives/slice of green pepper/halved mushroom. Put under the grill until the cheese bubbles.

Butter, which may acceptably be combined with cheddar cheese or jam.

Otherwise, you're all heathens!

Look on a website called Farmhouse in Leeds and Harrogate they have crumpets with birria and poached eggs!!

Homemade jam as well as butter. Had a crab and watercress crumpet at local pub (when they were going through a small plates phase) which was ok but to be honest, prefer sweet crumpets

Peanut butter and marmite, together.

Jam and whipped cream. Like a scone. Delicious!

Toast it thoroughly though. Same with cheese. The crumpet needs to be cooked before you then melt the cheese on it. Mature Cheddar I love.

Marmite and butter is a good one too.

Chopped leftover roast chicken with lemon, mayo and tarragon. Or crab with mayo and chives

Smoked red leicester and chilli jam.

1 with butter and marmite, 1 with butter and honey.

Butter, cream cheese, a nice slice of ham and sliced cherry tomatoes

Salted butter and strawberry jam.

Strawberry jam.

Butter and maple syrup

Raspberry jam. Golden syrup. Nutella.

Chilli jam and avocado, sometimes with smoked salmon on top

Butter, Marmite and cheese, usually Cheddar.

I like making scrambled eggs with chopped up spring onion and plenty of cheese, liberally butter the crumpets, egg on top and then a sprinkle of hot sauce

Marmite or Philadelphia
or marmite and philadelphio
Jam
Mature cheddar

Butter, Philadelphia (or similar) and Marmite. It looks like poo, but it is deLISH.
