A low fat cooked breakfast

Two lightly grilled turkey rashers, grilled mushrooms, a grilled tomato (with herbs) and a grilled hash brown. Poach an egg to accompany.

Eggy Bread

This is a big favourite and is really super with grilled bacon and tomatoes.
Ingredients
2 slices of white bread
1 egg
1 tablespoon of milk
A pinch of salt and a grinding of pepper or ¼ teaspoon of Marmite
A little oil or butter

Method
Mix the egg, milk and seasoning or Marmite together with a fork and soak the 2 slices of bread in the mixture, preferably for 10 minutes or overnight, if you are well organised. Lightly grease the base of a small frying pan with oil or butter and heat the pan up until it is hot. Cook the bread until it is golden brown on each side and serve hot.

Serves 1

French and fruity

Ingredients
2 slices of fruit loaf
1 egg
1 tablespoon milk
A little butter
½ teaspoon sugar
A pinch of cinnamon

Method
Beat the egg and milk together with a fork and pour the mixture into a shallow dish. Soak the slices of bread in the liquid. If you are really organised, you can do this before you go to bed and leave it to soak all night in the fridge. Take a little knob of butter in a piece of kitchen paper and wipe over the base of a small frying pan. Put the pan on to heat and when it is hot, but not burning, carefully (because the bread is soggy and could break) use a fish slice to lift the slices of bread into the pan. When the underneath of the bread is lightly browned, turn it over with the fish slice and cook the other side. Eat the bread hot with ½ teaspoon of sugar and a pinch of cinnamon sprinkled over.
