Serves 2

Vegetarian
Ingredients
- 1 tsp oil
- 25g/1oz butter
- 1 small onion
- 225–250g/8–9oz leftover vegetables, such as kale, spinach, chard, Brussels sprouts
- 300g/10½oz leftover cooked potatoes
- small handful chopped fresh herbs, such as thyme, rosemary
- 2 free-range eggs
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
Method
-
Heat the teaspoon of oil and the butter in a non-stick pan. Fry the onion until slightly softened, then add the vegetables and potatoes. Season well with salt and pepper and add the herbs, if using.
-
Break the potatoes and vegetables up and fry undisturbed for 2–3 minutes to allow a golden brown crust to form on the bottom of the veg, then turn them over and leave to brown on the other side – keep doing this for about 15 minutes.
-
Use a potato masher to press the mixture into the pan to create a big potato cake, then slide out or upturn the pan onto a serving plate. Cover and keep warm, while you fry the eggs.
-
In the same pan, heat a little more oil. Break in the eggs and fry to your liking. Slice the bubble and squeak into wedges and top with the fried eggs to serve.
