Cook - Saturday brunch

I had a lovely stay at a friend's house last night - a night away from home meant a leisurely morning, with a gentle run followed by the most delicious brunch.  My friend has 5 hardworking chickens and a resulting abundance of eggs, so we had eggs lots of ways - scrambled, poached and most successfully made into these  Pea and Sweetcorn Fritters (I need to work on my food photography, but honestly they are very, very tasty).





Although we had to make a couple of substitutions (normal onion for spring onions, cheddar for feta) they still came out well,  and definitely a recipe to make again for brunch / lunch / breakfast / tea - I think they'd work for any meal.

We had them with eggs as mentioned above, plus avocado and smoked salmon.  Unfortunately I don't have a picture of the whole ensemble, but believe me, it was the perfect post-run brunch!

  4. Hey Sarah,
    Just popping along to say thank you for the comment left on my blog the other day. These fritters really do look yummy, and remind me of the ones me and my Uni chum Nina used to make all the time. I must ask her if she remembers. Anyway a trip down amnesia lane for me!
    Best of luck with your newly acquired status as only girl in an all male household. Never a dull moment. Hopefully not too much sport. Especially golf.

    1. Thank you for coming by! You're right - there will be no dull moments. And lots of sport - mainly football and rugby here (no golf as yet).
