Ingredients

Serves 1:

150g baked beans with no added sugar

1 tsp BBQ sauce

½ tsp Worcestershire sauce

½ tsp smoked paprika

2 smoked bacon medallions

80g baby plum tomatoes, halved

handful of spinach leaves (25g)

1 egg

1 crumpet

25g 50% reduced-fat Cheddar

Cheese, grated

sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

spray light oil for cooking

Method

  • In a small saucepan mix the baked beans, BBQ sauce, Worcestershire sauce and smoked paprika, along with a pinch each of salt and pepper. Set over a low heat to warm up while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

  • Heat a frying pan over a medium heat, spray the base with spray light oil and cook the bacon medallions for a few minutes on each side until cooked through. (Cook for a little longer if you like your bacon crispy.)

  • 3. While the bacon is cooking, add the halved tomatoes to the same pan and fry until they are just starting to catch and are softening up slightly. Add the spinach leaves for the last few minutes of cooking so they wilt slightly.

  • 4. Meanwhile, poach the egg in a saucepan of boiling water for

    3-4 minutes until the white is just set.

  • Lightly toast your crumpet, place on a plate and sprinkle the grated cheese on top. Place the bacon on top of the cheese.

  • Pour the beans on top of the bacon and crumpet along with the fried tomatoes and spinach. Add the poached egg and tuck in!
