Lazy weekends

Wish I had time for croissants with butter and jam every morning. For me, weekday mornings are a mad rush, often still half-asleep, to down my tea and chomp on cereal or bread, then whizz out of the house to catch my train. Often I forget my keys.

Makes me appreciate weekends even more now. The day starts so much nicer with pancakes and honey or scrambled eggs with smoked salmon. This morning, it was bacon, sausages and eggs. The good ol' calorie-laden, artery-clogging, classic breakfast. No healthful (cardboard) Weet-Bix for me, thank you. I at least made a feeble attempt by adding tomatoes. They were fried in bacon fat but veg is veg, I console myself.

Start with a hot non-stick pan. Add the bacon until the fat renders, then fry the sausages in the bacon fat. Add the tomatoes, push them to one side of the pan, and crack an egg or two in. Tip the pan around so that the egg whites run in between the sausages, tomatoes and bacon. Cook until the eggs are done to your liking, then sprinkle with salt, pepper and chives to finish. Easy and delicious. A great start to your day!
