Three crumpets placed on a white plate, each topped with tomato puree, slices of wafer-thin ham and tomatoes.

Ingredients

  • 4 crumpets
  • 4 teaspoons tomato purée
  • 8 slices wafer thin ham
  • 4 tomatoes, thinly sliced

Method

  1. Preheat the grill and lightly toast the crumpets on both sides.

    Information:

    You can use English muffins instead of crumpets - you'll only need 2, sliced in half.

  2. Spread each crumpet with 1 teaspoon of tomato purée, then top with two slices of wafer-thin ham. Arrange the sliced tomatoes on top.

    Information:

    Sprinkle a few mixed dried herbs over the tomato purée before adding the ham, if you like.

  3. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes. Serve at once.
