something like a bacon and onion omelette with home made hash browns?

The obvious choice would be some kind of omlette for the savory. Or maybe a tortilla? You could use the apples, bacon, the onion and the potatoes.

If you have sr flour you could make the peach cobler with the peaches.

How about a spanish omlette? Thats what the ones with tatties and extras stuck in isnt it?? Or if you have flour for pastry you could make a quiche and have the tatties with it.

Thats all i can think of just now, your more disciplined than me! DS had speech therapy and was so good so we stopped at the chipper for him on the walk home and i succumbed to a white pudding! Bang went my healthy steamed turkey breast and veg supper! :rolleyes:

These are recipes for Spanish Tortilla or Potato Omlettes. I would use the apple in with it as well and keep the peaches for pud!

i know this sounds stupid i have never made an omlette

Id give pointers but my omlettes never stay in shape and always end up looking like scrambled eggs! lol

What about a bake. Layer a casserole dish with potatoes, onions and chopped bacon, pour on some stock and cook in the oven for an hour or so.

Or using the eggs rather than stock to make a sort of oven cooked omlette.


But have to agree an omlette did jump out me as an obvious choice.

I would cook off a few potatoes and then slice thickly. Saute sliced onion and chopped bacon in a frying pan. Season with pepper. Add sliced potatoes and beaten egg. Cook until set and then either flip over for a few mins or put under a hot grill to brown the top. Serve in wedges with salad.
