Full English breakfast
A healthier twist on the traditional fry up, free of grease and added sugar. My version includes poached eggs, grilled rather than pan-fried sausages and bacon, and homemade hash browns which are much lower in calories than packet versions.

Directions
Share
-
Grate the potato and onion into a bowl and squeeze out as much excess liquid as you can.
-
Add the plain flour, chives, garlic granules and a good grind of salt and pepper and mix well. Crack in the egg and stir to combine.
-
Meanwhile, sprinkle the thyme over the tomatoes and cook in a preheated oven at 180C for 15 minutes or until blistered.
-
Pour a small glug of olive oil into a large frying pan and swirl around the pan. Add spoonfuls of the hash brown mixture, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches, if needed, for 6-8 minutes on each side over a medium heat until golden and the potato is cooked. Keep warm.
-
Put the chipolata sausages and bacon on a foil-lined baking sheet and place under a hot grill for 4-5 minutes on each side until cooked through. The bacon may need to be removed sooner, depending on how crispy you like it.
-
Heat a large griddle pan over a high heat and add the halloumi slices in a single layer. Cook over a high heat for 2 minutes on each side or until golden and charred with bar marks.
-
Heat a large pan of water over a medium heat. When it reaches a rolling boil, create a whirlpool with a spoon and crack the eggs in. Simmer for 2 minutes and 40 seconds for firm whites and a soft, runny yolk. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain carefully on kitchen paper.
-
Add to a serving platter with the grilled bacon, sausages, halloumi, tomatoes and hash browns. Serve with baked beans and toast, if desired.
