Method

  1. Heat the grill to high. Heat a medium non-stick frying pan, add the chipolatas and fry for 3 mins. Add the bacon, turning occasionally, until it starts to crisp, about 5 mins more. Tip in the mushrooms and continue to cook for a further 3-5 mins. Drain any excess fat and move the ingredients so they are evenly spread out.
  2. Season the eggs, then add to the pan, swirling to fill the spaces. Gently move with a fork for 2 mins over a low-medium heat until beginning to set. Scatter over the tomatoes, cheese, if using, and chives, then grill for 2 mins until set. Cut into wedges and serve with your favourite sauces.

Make it veggie

For a vegetarian version, swap the chipolatas for veggie sausages, omit the bacon and add more mushrooms.

    Easy to make. The Veggie version was flavoured with some green coriander and deseeded green chillies.

    I think it depends on the quality of your frying pan (must be a good non stick one) and the size of it as there were not enough eggs so it was more of a shallow omelette! Still tasted yummy though...
