Ingredients

  • 8 rashers streaky bacon
  • 4 large eggs
  • splash of distilled vinegar
  • For frittas:
  • 1 cob of corn
  • 8 pickled red jalepeno slices chopped
  • 1 large egg separated
  • 1 level tbsp self raising flour
  • 15 g butter melted
  • rapeseed oil for greasing pan
  • Garnish:
  • chives
  • few grinds of chilli & garlic dried

Instructions

  • Start by pre-heating the grill and putting a kettle of water on to boil.
  • Grill the rashers of streaky bacon on both sides until crispy, then keep in a warm place.
  • Meanwhile cut the kernals off the cob of corn.
  • Place the kernals in a bowl together with the chopped jalepenos, egg yolk, flour, melted butter, salt and pepper and mix well.
  • Whisk the egg white until stiff and quickly fold into the sweetcorn mixture.
  • Grease a non-stick frying or griddle pan and place on a medium to high heat, it’s ready when a drop of water sizzles.
  • Spoon the sweetcorn mixture into 4 equal sized heaps and flatten with the back of a spatula.
  • Fry the frittas for about 2 minutes until bases are golden and then turn and fry for another 2 minutes or until golden.
  • While the frittas are frying put the boiling hot water from the kettle into a small frying pan and fill with enough water to cover the eggs and add a splash of white vinegar.
  • Bring to the boil.
  • Break the first egg into a ramekin then lower and gently tip into the water and repeat with the rest of the eggs. Time for 3 minutes.
  • Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove and drain on a plate lined with kitchen paper.
  • Assemble stacks by placing a fritta on each plate, followed by the streaky bacon, poached egg and garnish with a few grinds of chilli and garlic and strands of chives.
  • Serve immediately.
