Method
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the laverbread, squeezed lemon juice and seasoning. Don’t add too much salt, as the laverbread is slightly salty. Mix in the porridge oats.
- Lightly dust the work surface with plain flour. Roll the lavercake mix into two equal ball shapes. Then place them onto the work surface, forming a patty shape, at least 1/2 an inch thick. Set aside.
- Next, place the sausage meat into a large mixing bowl. Add the Branston pickle and season well with sea salt and black pepper. Mix together.
- Lightly dust the work surface with plain flour. Roll the sausage meat mix into two equal ball shapes. Then place them onto the work surface, forming a patty shape. Set aside.
- Preheat the hob to a medium heat. Drizzle vegetable oil into a medium sized, deep frying pan. Allow to heat. Place the back bacon & sausage patties into the pan. Lightly fry the bacon until crispy. Cook the sausage patties for at least 4-5 minutes until cooked through. Set aside.
- Use the same pan for the kippers. Drizzle extra vegetable into the pan, if needed. Add a knob of butter. Season the smoked kippers with sea salt and black pepper. Place into the pan, skin side down. Cook for at least 2 minutes, on each side until golden brown.
- Add the lavercakes to the pan, along with the cherry tomatoes. Cook the lavercakes until golden brown, on each side. Cook the cherry tomatoes until softened.
- Then, drizzle vegetable into the pan for the fried eggs. Crack the two eggs into the frying pan. Cook for a further 2 minutes (sunny side up), until the eggs are runny – or any preference. Place a lid on top, to quicken the cooking process.
- Serve the lavercakes in the center of the serving plates. Layer the lavercake with a sausage patty, back bacon, smoked kipper fillet, sided with cherry tomatoes. Topped with a fried egg.
