Courgette, Sweetcorn and Chive Fritters with a Soft Boiled Egg
How does a fuss free vegetarian breakfast sound? I know, I know it's what you've been waiting for all these years... In Britain we pride ourselves on our hearty, greasy, naughty breakfast (the full English) and I have to admit that I am partial to one every now and then - particularly when battling a … Continue reading Courgette, Sweetcorn and Chive Fritters with a Soft Boiled Egg
