We love the pear, date and ale chutney that one of our suppliers makes for us, but you can use any fruity relish to accompany this dish or replace it with any of your favorite condiments. We use the fairytale white eggs that ducks lay in the daylight hours of spring and summer; they tend to be larger than hens' eggs, so need a little bit longer when frying.

- Add the croutons and heat for a few minutes to warm through and combine with the other flavors.

- When hot, crack 4 of the eggs into the pan, cover with a lid and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolks are molten.
- Cook the remaining eggs in the same way and put them on the remaining warm plates.
- Dust all the eggs with the red pepper flakes, scatter the crouton and blood sausage mixture over them, then add a spoonful of the relish onto each plate.
