2 x Turkey Rashers
3 tbsp Baked Beans
1 x Weight Watcher slice brown bread

tsp vinegar
Salt and Pepper


Method:
  1. Cut the tomato in halve, add a pinch of salt and place under a hot grill. This will take about 10 mins to cook
  2. Boil some water in a pot with the vinegar (this will help prevent the e.g. splitting)
  3. Put the bread in to be toasted
  4. Once the tomato has been cooking for approximately 6 mins, put the turkey rashers under the grill and give them approx 2 mins each side, although keep an eye on them to be sure they are cooked through
  5. When you turn the rashers over, put the egg into the boiling water and the beans on to cook
  6. Serve on a warm plate with a cup of coffee / tea - who says dieting is no fun?
