This simple 15 minute recipe includes 2 of your 5 A DAY. The fresh basil helps to bring out the flavours of the grilled tomatoes. A delicious breakfast for a lazy Sunday.

Ingredients

80g mushrooms, sliced
1 tomato, halved
1 egg
2 slices wholemeal bread, toasted
Fresh basil (optional)
Freshly ground black pepper

Method

Boil a small pan of water.
Place the sliced mushrooms and halved tomato under a hot grill for 5 minutes, turning once half way through.
Crack the egg into boiling water, and simmer for 3–4 minutes – depending on the size of the egg, and how you like your eggs done.
Place the toast on a warmed plate, spoon over mushrooms and tomato and top with the poached egg. Season with black pepper. Top with a little fresh basil to bring out the taste of the tomato.

Serving suggestion: Try different types of bread as a base – toasted muffins, crumpets, soda or rye bread, or bagels.
