How to Make Egg & Cheese Crumpets
These savory egg-soaked crumpets are a fun twist on breakfast, topped with melted cheddar and served with creamy avocado and juicy tomatoes. A crumpet is a British-style griddle bread—soft, spongy, and full of little holes on top that are perfect for soaking up flavor. Made with whole wheat crumpets, egg whites, and reduced-fat cheese, this dish is a diabetes-friendly option that balances protein, fiber, and healthy fats for sustained energy. This recipe is vegetarian.
Step-By-Step Instructions:
-
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, milk, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and black pepper. Place the crumpets in the egg mixture, flipping to coat evenly. Let soak for 1-2 minutes until they absorb some liquid.
-
Heat ½ tbsp olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the soaked crumpets and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crisp.
-
Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the tops of the crumpets. Cover the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the cheese melts.
-
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped chives and avocado slices. Serve tomatoes on the side.
