Kitchen recycling? Bottom of the refrigerator breakfast or dinner? Whatever you choose to call it, bubble and squeak is not only delicious but makes great sense. Use leftovers and some of those vegetables that are still fresh but don’t quite make the salad grade. Roasted or steamed left-over vegies are easy to digest, and add extra flavour. We love our bubble and squeak served with soft scrambled eggs (make sure they‘re thoroughly cooked through for children under 2) and often cook a little diced ham (omit for babies) through it as well.
Serves 6-8.

Carefully fold the bubble and squeak over in large sections so the crusty bottom comes to the top. Cook for a further 2 minutes, then serve.
Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
