Instructions

Stay Awake

1 Turn oven onto grill. Whisk eggs until smooth. Spray a medium ovenproof dish or non-stick pan with detachable handle and heat.

2 Add the eggs to the hot pan. Cook until the underside is golden — this will take about 5 minutes. Place under the grill until the top is golden.

3 Remove eggs from pan and place on a foil-covered baking tray. Cover with the passata. Add the bacon and sprinkle over the chives and cheese.

4 Return to grill and cook until cheese has melted. Sprinkle with basil leaves. Serve with bread and salad.

Variations

Make it gluten free: Use gluten-free bread and check bacon and passata are gluten free.
