The crumpet can be a thing of utter beauty. For breakfast that will keep you going until a late lunch, get a small frying pan and put an unjustifiably large knob of butter in it. Arrange to have a very hot plate at the ready plus another wot your breakfast will go on. Melt the butter to medium/high heat and crack three eggs into the pan. Ok, two if you're on a diet. Cover with a lid for precisely two and a half minutes (maybe turn the heat down a bit). There is never any need to baste frying eggs using that method. Meanwhile, par-toast two crumpets in your toaster, just to warm them up. Transfer your fried eggs on to your hot plate. Turn up the heat under your pan and fry the crumpets both sides for a minute (especially the top side). Aim to soak up every last bit of butter. Put crumpets on your breakfast plate and top with the eggs. I don't even bother with salt and pepper. I promise you, you'll live forever.
