Air Fryer Northumberland Pan Haggerty Mustard Egg Bake

Pan haggerty layers potatoes, onions and cheese into a Northumbrian dish that asks very little and gives back crisp edges, soft centres and a full table. Eggs baked into the top turn the side dish into dinner. Mustard and thyme sharpen the cheese without demanding anything exotic.

You’ll Need

For the Bake
1kg waxy potatoes, sliced 3mm thick
2 large onions, thinly sliced
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
150ml hot vegetable stock
120g mature cheddar, grated
4 eggs
Sea salt and black pepper
Optional but dangerous
Pickled beetroot
Steamed greens
Brown sauce
Equipment
One 1.8-litre shallow heatproof dish and foil

Method

Simmer the potato slices in salted water for 5 minutes, then drain and steam dry.

Preheat your air fryer to 180°C.

Toss the onions with the oil and thyme in the heatproof dish and air fry for 7 minutes.

Layer in the potatoes, seasoning lightly and scattering two-thirds of the cheese between the layers.

Whisk the mustard into the hot stock, pour it around the edge and cover tightly with foil.

Air fry for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and scatter over the remaining cheese.

Make four hollows, crack in the eggs and air fry uncovered for 6-9 minutes until the whites are set.

Rest for 3 minutes before serving the crisp-edged sections.

Lad Tip: Par-cook the potato slices and let them steam dry. Raw wet slices take too long under the eggs and leave breakfast waiting for dinner to finish.
