Quick Cheesy Egg Bun Bowl
Ingredients:
Bun: 1 large round bread roll or brioche bun

Egg: 1 large egg

Cheese: Shredded Mozzarella or Cheddar (generous amount)

Meat (Optional): 1 slice of ham or cooked bacon

Seasoning: Salt, black pepper, and fresh chopped parsley

Easy Instructions:
Prep the Bun: Cut the top off the bun and hollow out the center of the bottom half to create a bowl shape.

Layer It Up: Place a slice of ham/bacon inside the hollowed bun (this prevents the bread from getting soggy). Crack an egg right into the center.

Add Cheese & Bake: Top the egg generously with shredded cheese, salt, and black pepper. Place the top bun back on (or leave it on the side to get crispy).

Cook: Bake in a preheated oven or air fryer at 180°C for 10-12 minutes until the egg white is set, the yolk is still soft, and the cheese is beautifully melted and stretchy. Garnish with parsley and enjoy!

Ingredients:
Artichokes: 1 can (approx. 400g) artichoke hearts in water, drained and halved

Garlic Butter: 3 tbsp melted butter, 3 cloves minced garlic, 1 tbsp lemon juice

Easy Instructions:
Prep the Base: Arrange the halved artichoke hearts face-up in a greased baking dish. Place one large shrimp snugly on top of each artichoke piece.

Make the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Drizzle half of this mixture over the shrimp and artichokes.

Add the Crunch: Toss the Panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan with the remaining garlic butter. Spoon this crunchy mixture generously over each shrimp.

Bake: Pop the dish into a preheated oven at 200°C for 12-15 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and the breadcrumbs are beautifully golden brown and crispy. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot!

Quick Sausage & Crispy Chips Platter
Ingredients:
Sausages: 3 premium sausages (pork, beef, or chicken)

Chips: 2 large potatoes (cut into thick fries) or frozen chunky chips

Scramble: 2 eggs, 1 tbsp butter, a splash of milk, and finely chopped green chives/spring onions

Sides & Garnish: Handful of cherry tomatoes (halved), salt, pepper, paprika, and fresh chopped parsley

Easy Instructions:
Cook the Chips: Toss your cut potatoes in olive oil, salt, and paprika. Air-fry at 200°C for 18-20 minutes (shaking halfway) or deep-fry until golden and super crispy.

Grill the Sausages: While the chips are cooking, heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Fry the sausages for 12-15 minutes, turning frequently until beautifully charred and cooked through.

Make the Creamy Scramble: Whisk eggs with a splash of milk, salt, and pepper. Melt butter in a non-stick pan over low heat, add the eggs and chives, and softly fold them until creamy and just set.

Assemble: Plate the crispy chips, grilled sausages, and creamy scramble. Add the fresh cherry tomatoes on the side, dust everything with a little extra paprika, and garnish generously with fresh parsley.
