Method
- 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.
- 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.

Love finding alternatives to breakfast. I have just posted all about the dangers of eating cereal:

Fantastic - my wife prefers this version as it minimises washing up. I still prefer to cook all the ingredients first then scrape onto a plate. Then cook the omelette (use some milk in the mix to lighten) - add the ingredients to the top half with loads of strong cheddar and ketchup, fold it over until cooked. I cut this into 2 and serve each portion as a sandwich between thick slices of granary bread (from an uncut loaf) which must be buttered with real butter!
The filling oozes out when you take large bites - delicious! I have been known to put some slices of black pudding in as well (substitute HP for the ketchup in this case). For an interesting change put a teaspoon of Marmite into the filling.
