To make the crumpets, place a metal ring in a non-stick pan with butter or spray oil. On a very low heat add a ladle of the crumpet batter and let it cook through. Holes should appear on the top of the crumpet. Once it has cooked through, take it out of the ring and set aside. They can then be kept for up to 5 days before toasting or baking

To make the Parmesan custard, add everything to a pan on a low heat and scramble it together. Once the eggs start to scramble, increase the heat to remove some of the liquid. Place in the fridge to cool

Once cooled, blend into a smooth custard and season with a little salt
5
Shave the courgette into ribbons and toss with a squeeze of lemon juice and splash of extra virgin olive oil

To serve, toast the crumpet then smear with Parmesan custard. Place it under the grill to melt. Once it begins to brown, remove and place on a plate. Top with a handful of courgette ribbons, a grating of Parmesan and a dusting of seaweed powder
