Gammon, Mash & Poached Eggs

Time

20 mins

Serves

2

Ingredients

  • 2 Field & Flower gammon steaks
  • 750g floury potatoes, peeled & diced
  • 1 leek, diced
  • 2tsp wholegrain mustard
  • 2tbsp of butter
  • 2 eggs
  • Sea salt & freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Boil until soft.
  2. While the potatoes are boiling, sauté the leek in a pan with 1tbsp of butter on a medium heat until soft.
  3. Drain and mash, add the remaining butter and a pinch of salt and stir. Add the leek and mustard and mix in well.
  4. Heat a frying pan on high. Add 1 gammon steak and cover with a lid smaller than the pan (it stops the gammon steak from curling up too much). Cook for 3 minutes on each side and repeat for the other steak.
  5. Poach the eggs in a pan of boiling water and a splash of vinegar. Stir the water and vinegar to create a whirlpool and crack the egg close to the surface of the water. Cook for 3-4 minutes, so that the white is cooked but the yolk is still runny.
  6. Serve the gammon, eggs and mash while hot.
