Full English Breakfast (a healthier version)

1. Lay the bacon, mushrooms and tomatoes on a foil-lined tray and brush the tops of the mushrooms lightly with oil.
2. Heat the grill to very hot.
3. Lay some sausages on a small foil-lined tray (do not prick if they are good quality sausages). Grill for 10 mins until cooked, turning occasionally.
4. Three-quarters fill a small pan, and a wide, deep sauté 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. 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 another egg (if you want to).
5. Meanwhile heat a griddle pan to hot. Place the tomatoes, bacon and mushrooms under the grill for 3-4 mins without turning then drain on kitchen paper. At the same time, toast some bread.
6. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and drain briefly on a cloth. Arrange everything on a plate and serve with juice and fruit.
