Perfect for a lazy weekend morning or a brunch that actually keeps you full, this plate is a mix of grilled goodness and fresh fuel.
π Ingredients (Serves 2)
- 2 large mushrooms β the bigger, the better
- 4 free-range eggs β better for you and the chickens π
- 1 block of halloumi (approx. 225g)
- 2 ripe tomatoes
- Toasted Warburtons wholemeal squares or pitta bread β a lighter alternative to traditional toast
π©βπ³ Method
1. Grill the Halloumi & Tomatoes
- Slice your halloumi into 6 thick slices
- Place them in a flat oven dish (this keeps them from falling through the oven rack)
- Slice the tomatoes in half and add them alongside the cheese
- Grill in the oven at 180Β°C (fan) until the halloumi turns golden (around 10β12 mins), flipping halfway through
2. Poach the Eggs
- Boil water in a saucepan and add 1 tbsp vinegar
- Stir the water gently to create a whirlpool
- Crack in an egg and reduce heat to a simmer
- Poach for 1β3 minutes, depending on how runny you like your yolk
- Remove with a slotted spoon and set on toasted squares or pitta
- Repeat for the second batch
3. Cook the Mushrooms
- While everything else cooks, grill or pan-fry your mushrooms with a dash of olive oil
- Keep them whole or slice in halves, depending on preference
4. Serve & Enjoy
- Share out the grilled halloumi, tomatoes, mushrooms, and poached eggs over toast.
- Season with cracked black pepper or chilli flakes if you like a little kick.
