At JJ Food Service we love food and we love it even more when our staff and suppliers want to share their favourite recipes!

Method
  1. Grill the bacon until golden brown and crispy.
  2. Whisk the eggs and double cream; season with a little salt and pepper.
  3. Melt a knob of butter in a small non-stick frying pan and cook the eggs over a low heat until only just cooked and still quite loose.
  4. Slice the bagel in half and lightly toast. Mix the ketchup with the harissa paste.
  5. Spread the bagel with the harissa ketchup, top with the eggs and crispy bacon; place the lid on top to serve.
Turkey, Brie and Cranberry
Serves: 1
Serve: Cold, closed
Ingredients
  1. 12g cranberry sauce (½ tbsp)
  2. 1 plain bagel (115g), sliced in half
  3. 25g brie, sliced
  4. 5g rocket leaves, washed stalks removed
  5. 30g roast turkey slices, torn into pieces
  6. 1 twist freshly ground black pepper
Spread most of the cranberry sauce onto the bottom of the bagel; follow with brie, rocket leaves then turkey.
Dot with remaining cranberry sauce, black pepper and finish with the bagel top.
Tip – lightly toast the bagel and add 6g precooked smoked streaky bacon, broken into pieces (2 rashers) and 2 medium fresh finely chopped fresh sage leaves to make the ultimate Christmas bagel! For a vegetarian option remove the turkey and bacon.
