Having been good and eaten fruit for breakfast every working day, it doesn't seem right to mark one of the few days I have off with another slice of apple. So, Saturday is indulgent breakfast day - egg with soldiers, marmite on toast or sausage sandwich.
Sometimes, if I've had a busy week then I find, I don't have traditional breakfast items in the fridge so I go off piste and today I made - cheese, jalapeno and bacon puffs, which were incidentally incredibly easy, slightly impressive and utterly glorious.
First get a roll of ready made puff pastry and roll it out. Pastry is not my friend so I tend to buy ready made and apparently 'all the best chefs do it' so on a lazy warm Saturday in London with it sitting in my fridge, I am not precious.
Take grated medium cheddar cheese (250g) , a packet (200g) of diced bacon and half jar of jalapeno peppers. These peppers have a kick but are the mild-ish ones that we use for Mexican food.
Spread this on top of the pastry - leaving a little border on the edge. Now roll up the pastry as you might a Swiss roll. Then cut the pastry into thick-ish rounds and lay on a greased baking tray.
Now if you have guests and want to go down the sharing route, push them together and brush with egg. If it is just informal, pop them on the baking tray as you will.
Then back in a hot oven (according to the instructions on the puff pastry) for about 20 minutes - until the pastry has puffed and the cheese has melted. Then share hot with those you actually like.
