#1. Healthy Full English Breakfast Recipe

Why do all doctors say that breakfast is ‘the most important meal of the day’?

Because it means that you are breaking a whole night’s fasting period. Breakfast typically boosts your energy levels and provides you with the necessary nutrients to face an entire day of work or study.

This recipe is one of the classic breakfast meals created by Chef Ramsey!

Ingredients:

  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Mushrooms
  • 250 g of cherry tomatoes
  • Salt
  • Grounded Black Pepper
  • Smoked bacon Rashers
  • Seven large eggs
  • White vinegar
  • Slices of toasted bread

How to prepare:

1. Preheat the oven at the highest temperature. Taking a quite large baking sheet, put some foil paper over it and then brush with some extra virgin olive oil.

2. Cut the mushrooms and cherry tomatoes and place them on the baking sheet. Pour some olive oil and sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the vegetables. Now, lay the smoked bacon rashers on the baking sheet and then place it under the oven grill for only 10 minutes. Once the bacon is golden brown and mushrooms and tomatoes are tender, turn off the oven and remove the baking sheet.

3. Next step is to poach the eggs. Half-fill a large shallow pot with water and bring it to simmer. Meanwhile, break all the seven eggs each into separate cups or small bowls. Add some vinegar to the simmering pot of water and whip the water in a circular motion to create a swirl effect with the help of a whisk. Then, gently add the eggs one by one in the center of the swirl. Lower the heat and let the eggs be poached for 2 minutes.

4. Carefully removed the poached eggs, place them on slotted spoons and sprinkle some pepper over them. Take the bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes and toasted loaves of bread and serve them on plates along with the poached eggs.
