Ingredients

The main dish:

4x Portobello mushrooms (or large flat mushrooms)

4x Chipolata sausages

50g bacon lardons

50g sliced or grated cheddar

A dash of oil

On the side:

5 eggs

100g asparagus tips

a sprinkling of salt

10g butter

Optional: No added sugar baked beans

Cooked tomatoes

Wholegrain toast

How to make it:

For the mushrooms

1. Place the slow cooker on high.

2. Remove the stalk from the mushrooms, and fill with 1 chopped up sausage, some bacon lardons and the cheese.

3. Place in the slow cooker and drizzle with a little oil.

4. Leave the mushrooms in the slow cooker for 1 hour - 1 hour 30 until soft.

(If you are cooking the mushrooms in the oven (cook at 180 degrees), place in a glass dish and cover with silver foil.

For the sides

1. Break 5 eggs into a bowl and whisk until the yolk and whites are well combined.

2. Add a splash of milk to the mixture and whisk again.

3. Place a frying pan onto a low/medium heat with the butter in.

4. Once the butter has melted add the egg mixture stirring continuously (this helps ensure the eggs will be light and fluffy)

5. Whilst the eggs are cooking, place the asparagus in another frying pan with a little butter. Cook for 2-3 minutes shaking regularly. Once cooked add a dash of salt.

Tips and Ideas

Adding some flavour to your eggs can be a delicious way of changing the recipe up a little - two of my personal favourites are chilli powder or smoked paprika.
