Boxing Day bubble & squeak

By Jamie Oliver

Looking for a bubble and squeak recipe? Jamie's epic bubble and squeak is the perfect recipe to make with all those yummy Christmas leftovers!

Ingredients

• olive oil
• 800g leftover cooked veg – about half potatoes, then Brussels sprouts, carrots, turnips – whatever!
• 4 ripe tomatoes
• 4 large field mushrooms
• 8 rashers of higher-welfare smoked streaky bacon
• 4 higher-welfare chipolatas
• 4 large free-range eggs

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the grill to high.

2. 2

   Drizzle 1 tablespoon of oil into a non-stick ovenproof frying pan over a medium heat, add the leftover veg and start mashing them together.

3. 3

   Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, and keep mashing them over the course of the cooking time so they break down and get nice and crisp on the bottom.

4. 4

   Halve the tomatoes, trim the mushrooms and trim most of the fat from the bacon.

5. 5

   Put the chipolatas and tomatoes on a tray, drizzle lightly with oil and place under the grill for 4 minutes. Turn the chipolatas over, add the mushrooms to the tray, face up, drizzle with a little oil and season with sea salt and black pepper.

6. 6

   Lay the bacon in and around everything and pop the tray back under the grill for another 7 to 8 minutes, or until the chipolatas are cooked through.

7. 7

   When the tray of extras is just about perfect, turn the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4 and pop them down at the bottom of the oven to keep warm,

8. 8

   Give the bubble and squeak one final pat down and use the back of a spoon to make four dents, evenly spaced around the pan. Crack in the eggs – it looks fantastic, isn’t predictable and saves on washing up.

9. 9

   Season with a tiny bit of salt and pepper and put in the oven for about 8 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your liking.

10. 10

    To serve, pop the tray of bubble & squeak and eggs in the middle of the table with the tray of extras on the side.
