Time is not always on our side, so often runs away with us, but it's time to eat as those little tummy gremlins are screaming for food and takeout is not always the best option.

Many of us are familiar with Toad in a hole - sausages baked in a batter, but that will certainly take longer than 5 minutes.

Next best thing would be Egg in a Hole.



I used a healthy Honey & Oats bread

Cut a circle with a cookie cutter

Into a pan it went with a dollop of butter in the centre

Egg broken into the centre

Topped with diced Tomatoes, Ham & grated Cheese

Popped under grill to melt the cheese & we're all done in just under 5 minutes.

Oozing with goodness.



Now that breakfast was sorted in a jiffy, teatime was looming and I was dying for a piece of chocolate cake. There was no time to turn the old oven on so how about a Chocolate Mint Cake in a Mug which is thrown together in another jiffy and only takes 2 minutes in the microwave!

Choc Mint Cake in a Mug

4 tablespoons Self Raising Flour

4 tablespoons Castor Sugar

Pinch Salt

2 tablespoons Cocoa Powder

1 Egg

3 tablespoons Oil

3 tablespoons Milk

1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Essence

100 gram Mint Chocolate

Place dry ingredients in your largest coffee mug, stir with fork

Add wet ingredients & mix well with fork

Place half the choc squares into centre of batter

Bake in microwave on high for 2 min

Leave to rest for a minutes before loosening sides & turning out

Grate remaining choc on top

Note my mug was not big enough, perhaps I should have placed it into 2 regular sized coffee mugs.
