Eggy Crumpets and Bacon

All happiness depends on a leisurely breakfast.

This past weekend I happened to make Crumpets for my family  and seeing my family enjoy it so much, I thought I should share this simple recipe with all of you. I came across Crumpets for the first time while I was watching Jamie Oliver's show,  and was very curious to know how they tasted. So here I was on the look out for these circular shaped things with pores on them which almost looked like a small pancake but only harder. I finally found it in Trader Joe's and with a mouth watering recipe in hand, I decided to give it a shot.
