Ingredients

  • Cherry Tomato: 12-16 cherry tomatoes on the vine, room temperature
  • Olive Oil: 6 tsp olive oil
  • Egg: 2 free-range, omega-3 rich eggs, room temperature
  • Cider Vinegar: few drops cider vinegar
  • Mushroom: 4 brown-cap portabello mushrooms
  • Blueberry: handful fresh blueberries (about 50g/2oz)
  • Orange Juice: 2 x 100ml / 3 1/2 fl oz glasses freshly-squeezed orange juice, plus 1 orange cut into wedges
  • Back Bacon: 4 rashers good-quality lean unsmoked back bacon
  • Wholegrain Bread: 2 slices granary or wholegrain bread, cut on the diagonal
  • Pork Sausage: 2 good-quality free-range pork sausages, minimum 86% pork

Directions

  1. Lay the bacon, mushrooms and tomatoes on a foil-lined tray. Brush the tops of the mushrooms with 3 tsp of the oil and both sides of the bread with the remaining oil. Set aside. Heat the grill to very hot. Lay the sausages on a small foil-lined tray (best not to prick good-quality sausages or they may lose moisture). Grill for about 10 mins until cooked, turning occasionally.
  2. Meanwhile, three-quarters fill a small pan, and a wide, deep saute pan with water. Bring both to the boil. Lower an egg into the small pan and remove after 30 secs. Crack the egg into a cup. Add vinegar to the larger pan then, using a wire whisk, swirl the water around to create a whirlpool. Remove the whisk and slowly tip the egg into the centre of the whirlpool (see top picture). When the water comes back to the boil, remove the pan from the heat, cover and leave for 3 mins, then remove the egg. Place in a bowl of warm water while you cook the other egg - or cook both eggs an hour ahead, leave in a bowl of iced water, then reheat for 1 1/2 mins in simmering water before serving.
  3. Meanwhile heat a griddle pan to very hot. Place the tomatoes, bacon and mushrooms under the grill for 3-4 mins without turning. At the same time, lay the bread on the griddle pan, cook until crisp, about 1 min each side. Drain everything on kitchen paper.
  4. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and drain briefly on a cloth. Arrange everything on a plate and serve with the juice and fruit.
