Loaded Yorkshire puddings
Ingredients
- Four Yorkshire puddings
- Four pigs in blankets
- 80g carrots
- 80g potatoes, cubed, or use leftover roast potatoes
- Leftover ham or turkey slices or store-bought slices
- Two tablespoons gravy
- 100g camembert or brie cut into cubes
- Four stuffing balls
- One tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper
Method
Preheat the oven to 220°C/425°F. If your carrots are fresh, slice them into batons and cube your potatoes if you don’t have any leftover roasties. Boil the potato cubes in salted water for 10 minutes, then drain and let them air dry. This step helps them crisp up in the oven.
Toss the carrots and potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking tray and roast for 25 minutes at 220°C/425°F.
Add the pigs in blankets and stuffing in to the oven at the same time to ensure everything’s ready at once.
Cook the Yorkshire puddings according to the package instructions as well, usually around seven minutes. Once the puddings are ready, layer them with slices of ham or turkey, a stuffing ball, a pig in blanket, and a mix of roasted carrots and potatoes.
Top with a cube of camembert or brie. Remove the cheese rind if you prefer a smoother melt.
Pop the stuffed Yorkshire puddings back into the oven for seven minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden. Drizzle with warm gravy and serve immediately for the ultimate festive comfort food.
