No-grease English Breakfast

(Serves 1)

• 50 g/2 or button mushrooms
• 15 ml/1 tbsp water
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 lean rasher (slice) streaky bacon, rinded
• 1 tomato, halved
• 1 egg
• 5ml/1 tsp vinegar

Put the mushrooms in a pan with the water and little salt and pepper. Cover and cook for 5
minutes, shaking the pan occasionally, until tender and the liquid has evaporated.
Meanwhile, Grill (broil) the bacon and tomato until the bacon is crisp and golden and the
tomato is just soft. Fill a frying pan (skillet) with water and add the vinegar. Bring to
the boil and reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Break the egg in a cup and slide into the
water. Cook gently for 3-5 minutes until the egg is set to your liking. Remove from the pan
with the fish slice and slide on a warm plate. Add the bacon, tomato and mushrooms and
serve.

Serving Suggestions: 1 slice of toast with a scraping of low-fat spread and reduced-sugar
marmalade; coffee or tea.
