Cooking: 20 minutes
Serves: 1

1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Baking paper line a roasting tray.

2. For hollandaise sauce, whisk egg yolks until pale and thickened and place in a bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Gradually pour in melted butter, whisking until completely emulsified and thickened. Whisk in vinegar to taste and season with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside.

3. To prepare the rest of the dish place truss tomatoes, mushroom and bacon on roasting tray. Roast for 10 minutes.

4. To poach egg, boil water along with vinegar in a small saucepan filling to halfway, and gently break egg into boiling water. Reduce heat slightly and simmer for up to two minutes, ensuring egg doesn’t stick to the bottom of the saucepan. Remove with a slotted spoon.

5. Place mushroom onto plate, topping with egg, spinach and hollandaise sauce.  Serve with roasted tomatoes.

6. For sandwich, butter one side of the bread and place in oven until brown. Butter the other side of the bread then place cooked bacon, cheese and tomato on top.  Sandwich with the other piece of bread. Remove the crusts and cut sandwiches into triangles. Place on plate.

7. For pancakes, whisk milk, self-raising flour and sugar in a bowl until combined. Spray a frying pan with vegetable oil and heat over medium heat. Cook until bubbles form on one side. Carefully flip and cook for a further 15-20 seconds.

8. To serve, stack pancakes with yoghurt then raspberries. Repeat in a stack of two.  Place a spoon or jug of maple syrup on the side.
