Getting up for breakfast is hard but I was rewarded with my favourite eggs and soldiers by Bertinet Bakery at South Bank.
I was so chuffed to see this offered because you rarely even see this at restaurant these days.
It was fine restaurant quality as the soldiers were topped with bechamel sauce and grated cheese and the egg was sprinkled with some fine herbs and olive oil.
I was bowled over by this sourdough.
Why?
I was won by the texture as it was soft, crispy and squidgy a bit like a toasted crumpet and soreen loaf.
First, I thought it was just the one I tried was perfect but I tried the loaf at home and it was consistently good, even after a few days, the texture was still crispy and squidgy.
These are ideal dipping in egg yolk or having it with soup.
Or topped with smashed avocado.
The ones I've had at the restaurants were stale and hard.
Also on the menu were:
Savoury Masala French Toast – eggy bread with a twist, using onions, chilli and turmeric served with a zingy green chutney.
Avocado toast and sweetcorn salsa – a bright, fresh dish packed full of flavour. A perfect balance of whipped avocado and a hint of spice.
Ultimate open BLT with a twist – fresh bacon added to crisp lettuce and juicy tomatoes, topped with a classic vinaigrette and beetroot hummus.
The brand has worked alongside Sourdough Specialist, Best-Selling Author and Founder of The Sourdough School, Vanessa Kimble – who put her magic touch on the menu, focusing on dishes that compliment and hero the taste and texture of sourdough.
Bertinet Bakery recently launched into Waitrose, the Potato, Polenta & Onion, Rustic Country White and Seven Seeds & Grains.
