- Lay bacon, mushrooms and tomatoes on a foil-lined tray. Brush the tops of the mushrooms with 3 tsp of the oil and both sides of the bread with the remaining oil. Set aside. Heat the grill to very hot. Lay the sausages on a small foil-lined tray (best not to prick good-quality sausages or they may lose succulence). Grill for about 15 mins or until cooked, turning occasionally.
- Meanwhile, fill a small pan and a wide, deep sauté pan with water (3/4 full). Bring both to boil. Lower an egg into the small pan and remove after 30 secs. Crack the egg into a cup. Add vinegar to the larger pan then, using a wire whisk, swirl the water around to create a whirlpool. Remove the whisk and slowly tip the egg into the centre of the whirlpool. When water comes back to boil, remove pan from heat, cover and leave for 3 mins, then remove the egg. Place in a bowl of warm water while you cook the other egg or cook both eggs ahead, leave in a bowl of iced water, then reheat for 1½ mins in simmering water before serving.
- Meanwhile heat a griddle pan to very hot. Place the tomatoes, bacon and mushrooms under the grill for 3-4 mins without turning. At the same time, lay the bread on the griddle pan, cook until crisp, about 1 min each side. Drain everything on kitchen paper.
- Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and drain briefly on a cloth. Arrange everything on a plate and serve with the juice and fruit.
