Ingredients

2 portobello mushrooms
½ red onion, sliced
1 garlic clove, chopped
pinch of cayenne pepper
pinch of paprika
salt
freshly ground black pepper
150ml/5fl oz double cream

1 tsp fresh chives, chopped

Method
1. Heat a griddle pan until hot then drizzle with the olive oil.
2. Chargrill the bread for 1-2 minutes on each side or until crisp and golden. Remove and keep warm in the oven.
3. Heat a large non-stick frying pan and fry the bacon for 2-3 minutes until crisp. Remove to an ovenproof plate and keep warm in the oven.
4. Cook the sausages in the pan for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through. Remove from the pan and keep warm in the oven.
5. Next, sauté the mushrooms with the onion and garlic for 1-2 minutes to soften. 6. Stir in the cayenne pepper, paprika and seasoning and continue to cook for 3-4 minutes. Stir in the cream and heat through.
7. To cook the eggs, heat the oil in a separate pan until hot.
Crack the eggs in beside each other and gently fry for 1-2 minutes, carefully spooning the oil over to cook the top.
8. Serve the griddled toasts alongside the mushrooms, sausages and bacon. Garnish the mushrooms with the chopped chives and a spoonful of Greek yoghurt.
9. Serve immediately.
