Serves 12 · Total 30m

Ingredients

• 3 cups self-raising flour
• 2 cups milk
• 6 eggs
• Pinch of salt and pepper
• 2 x 100g packets of champagne ham, diced
• 2 cups frozen peas, thawed
• 1 small red onion, diced
• ½ cup finely chopped chives + extra for garnish
• Olive oil spray
• ¼ cup white vinegar

Method

1. To make the fritter batter, — In a large bowl, place flour, milk, 2 eggs, salt and pepper. Mix until a smooth batter is formed. Add the peas, ham, onion and chives. Stir to combine.
2. To cook the fritters — Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Spray the pan with olive oil spray. Spoon ¼ cup size scoops of the fritter mix into the pan and cook for a few minutes on either side until cooked and golden. Remove to a plate lined with a paper towel and repeat until all fritters are made.
3. To poach the eggs — Fill a large saucepan with water. Add the vinegar to the water and bring to the boil. One at a time, crack each egg into a small bowl. Using a slotted spoon, create a gentle whirlpool in the pot and slide each egg carefully into the water and cook for a couple of minutes or until cooked to your liking.
4. To serve — Place 3 fritters in a stack on each plate. Top each with a poached egg and garnish with chopped chives and a pinch of salt and pepper.
