37.5g (1/2 Pack) Midlanduja
15g Butter
60ml Milk
Sliced Toasted Bread to serve
Directions
- Remove the Midlanduja from the fridge if that’s where its been stored to allow it to come up to temperature. Leaving it closer the heat source will help the fats to melt a little prior to cooking which in turn will release more flavour.
- In a jug beat the egg with the milk until the egg is completely blended. This will take about half a minute.
- Using a large non-stick frying pan, melt the butter over a low to medium heat until it begins to foam.
- Add the egg mixture and cook slow and gentle scraping the cooked parts back into the middle of the pan with a rubber spatula. Break up the larger pieces of cooked eggs which will take a moment or two.
- Add the Midlanduja to the pan and stir with the eggs gently for around half a minute.
- With the toasted bread on the plate, spoon the eggs on top and sprinkle with a little freshly cracked black pepper.
