Serves : 2
Total cooking time : 30 minutes
Difficulty : Easy

Ingredients
2 Large potatoes (about 240g)
2 Eggs
2tsp Plain flour
4tsp Olive oil
30g Gruyere cheese
30g Pancetta
Salt & pepper to season
Method
- Pre heat the oven to 180°C
- Peel the potatoes and slice them using a spiraliser (the coarse blade of our Spiro is perfect for this)
- Sprinkle with the flour and olive oil and mix gently so they are well covered
- Place them into 2 nest shapes in an oven-proof dish and bake for 15 minutes
- While the potatoes are cooking, add the pancetta to a pan and fry until crispy, you shouldn’t need any oil for this it should cook nicely in its own fat
- Remove from the potatoes from the oven, sprinkle over the cheese and add the bacon then return for another 10minutes
- Meanwhile poach your eggs (our M-Poach™ egg poacher makes this quick and easy in the microwave)
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and top each nest with a poached egg
- Season with salt and pepper and enjoy!
