Whilst the bubble and squeak is cooking, crack 4 eggs into the pan of boiling water, these will take about 2 mins to poach, remove with a slotted spoon and place on top of your cooked bubble and squeak.Pop it into the oven for 15 mins at 180☌ to ensure that it is cooked/warmed all the way through. Place a plate on top of the pan and turn the pan over, once the bubble and squeak has come off onto the plate add a little more oil to the pan and then slide the bubble and squeak back into the pan and fry the other side for 5mins.Whilst this is frying, fill and place a medium sided saucepan of water on to boil.Heat a medium non-stick frying pan with a little oil, add the mix to the pan, so that it fills the pan and fry for 5 minutes until one side is golden and crispy.


I make my own version now and it’s one of those tastes that remind me of my childhood, my Dad specifically which makes me enjoy it even more. Add the sprouts and cook until everything is starting to caramelise around the edges. Add the onion and fry over a medium heat until translucent. We had it every Boxing day using our Christmas Dinner leftovers and at least once a month using Sunday Dinner leftovers often served with a poached egg on top and some slices of cold meat with it. Heat half the fat in a non-stick frying pan. Traditional Bubble and Squeak is made from cooked potatoes and cabbage, mixed together and fried but my Dad used to make his with whatever leftover vegetables we had on the day. At this time of year, the one recipe that should be at the top of your must-cook list should absolutely be this traditional Bubble and Squeak recipe!
