3 eggs
½ a small bunch chives

Method

step 1
Whisk the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt in a large bowl until well mixed. Add the milk and crack in one of the eggs. Whisk until smooth, then fold in half the chives.
step 2
Heat the grill to medium-high. Put the sausages, tomato halves and mushrooms under the grill. Season the mushrooms and tomatoes, and drizzle with a little oil. Cook for 10-15 minutes, turning a couple of times, adding the bacon after 5 minutes. Grill until the sausages and bacon are golden and cooked through, and the tomato and mushrooms are tender. Remove from the grill when done.
step 3
Meanwhile, heat a little oil in a non-stick frying pan and fry spoonfuls of batter until golden. Flip and cook for another few minutes until golden on both sides. Poach the other two eggs.
step 4
Serve the pancakes stacked with the soft cheese, a poached egg, sausage, bacon, mushrooms and tomato. Scatter with the remaining chives and a dollop of bacon or chilli jam.
