Spoil your loved one with Real Lancashire Black Puddings:
Breakfast In-Bed!
- Black Pudding and poached egg on a potato cake, yum yum!
Simply poach your egg, by bringing a pan of water to boil, then turn off the pan, crack in the egg and cover with a lid and let cook.
Whilst the egg is poaching, fry the black pudding slice/slices for a few minutes on each side and toast the potato cake in the toaster. When everything is cooked stack everything up on a plate to serve. First the potato cake, then black pudding slice/s and then the poached egg on top.
I love this! It is such an easy but lovely breakfast and makes a refreshing change from a fry up. I love white pepper on the top and the egg to run all over the black pudding and potato cake.
Romantic Dinner!
Impress your loved one with this classic combination!
