10 rashers
Brie
150 g
Cheddar cheese
50 g
self-raising flour
300 g
Semi-skimmed milk
300 ml
Medium eggs

2 tbsp
Salted butter
25 g
baking powder
1 tsp

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your grill to high. Arrange the bacon rashers on a wire rack over a baking tray and grill for 5–7 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crisp. Set aside and keep warm.

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the self-raising flour and baking powder. Stir in the caster sugar and a generous pinch of salt.

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the beaten eggs. Gradually whisk in the milk until you have a smooth, thick batter without any lumps.

Heat a splash of sunflower oil and a small knob of butter in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Once the butter is sizzling, spoon 1 tablespoon of batter into the pan and spread it into a circle about 10cm wide.

Place a few thin slices of brie and a pinch of grated cheddar in the center of the batter. Immediately cover the cheese with another 1.5 tablespoons of batter, ensuring the filling is completely enclosed.
