Brunch/Lunch recipe ideas please.

[isnibs]

I need some ideas for brunch/lunch food. Kids are happy with ham& cheese or baked bean &cheese toasties. Adult only really wants bacon or bacon& egg sarnies. I'd be grateful for a few ideas that don't cost the earth, but that will be acceptable instead of the bacon etc one.

Many thanks.

How about eggs benedict to make it bit different or some kedgeree?

Now eggs benedict sounds a good idea, don't think kedgeree would be in the mindset! old (habits) tastes die hard!. Thanks Androcles great start.

Some additional thoughts:Potato cheese and ham/bacon pie:
Ingredients:
1kg of Rooster potatoes which have been peeled, thinly sliced and washed
15g of melted butter
200g of thinly sliced streaky bacon
100g of grated gruyere cheese
Salt and pepper for seasoning (optional ingredient)

e.
Directions:
Pre heat the oven to 425°F/220°C/Gas mark 7.

Butter a 9 inch ovenproof non stick baking dish.

Arrange the bacon slices into the bottom and the sides of the greased pan. Make sure some of the strips of bacon overhang the edge of the dish slightly.

Dry the washed, peeled and sliced Rooster potatoes and dry with kitchen towel.

Take about one third of the tatties and place these slices over the bacon. Then sprinkle about a third of the grated gruyere cheese. Repeat this step so that two more layers of tattie and cheese are in the dish.

Now fold over the overhanging bacon onto the top layer of potatoes and cheese. Place the dish in the oven and bake uncovered for 50 minutes.

Before removing the potato, cheese and bacon pie recipe from the oven ensure it is cooked throughout by testing the tatties by piercing a knife through the pie. The potatoes should feel soft and the knife gently pass through the dish.

Alternative - Spanish Omelette
