The big breakfast
A traditional cooked breakfast complete with bacon, eggs and buttered toast. However, in our version, we use soy bacon and add onions, mushrooms and tomatoes to increase the vegetable quota.

2 teaspoons canola oil
2 teaspoons butter
1 onion—cut in half-rings
4-6 thinly sliced mushrooms
4 soy bacon rashers
1 large tomato—cut into 4 thick slices
2 eggs
1 cup baked beans
2 slices lightly buttered whole grain toast
A pinch each of salt and ground black pepper


HEAT 1 teaspoon each of the oil and butter in a large frying pan over a medium heat. COOK the onions for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. PUSH the onions to the side of the pan, then add the mushrooms and tomatoes and cook for a further 4 minutes, flipping the tomatoes once. REMOVE the onions, tomatoes and mushrooms from the pan and onto a plate, then cover to keep warm. HEAT the remaining oil and butter in the pan, then add the bacon and eggs and cook for 4 minutes, flipping the bacon once. WHILE the bacon and eggs are cooking, heat the baked beans in a covered bowl in the microwave and cook the toast. ARRANGE the bacon, eggs, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, baked beans and toast on plates, and season with salt and pepper to serve.

Variation: Replace the soy bacon with soy sausages.
