This recipe started life out as an omlette. I copied it from a little French cafe we used to go to back in Sydney called Bitton where it was served with slivers of toasted Turkish bread and monkey-nut chutney. I’m not great at making anything too tricksy at 7 o’clock in the morning so this dish became more scrambled-eggs, less omlette and because you can’t get Turkish bread or monkey-nut chutney in the UK, you can replace with some toasted slices of ciabatta and tomato chutney.
The combination of sun-dried tomatoes, ham, goat cheese and oregano creates a perfect blend of sweet and salty with some wonderfully creamy textures that go well your crunchy buttered toast. Don’t leave any of the ingredients out. It’s worth making a trip for.
