Perfect breakfast for men

While vitamin D is available through sunshine, the lack of sunlight during UK winters means many of us will have to turn to natural food sources like eggs to build up our stores. The selenium in eggs helps with the health of sperm, while the vitamin C found in the orange juice and tomatoes will not only help strengthen your immune system and ensure healthy gums and bones, but will also aid the absorption of iron found in eggs - providing more than half the recommended daily intake for men in a single meal. Like eggs, lean ham is a relatively low fat source of protein, which helps build and repair muscle tissue.

Preparation: 5mins
Cooking: 5mins
Serves: 1

What you need:

• 2 large British Lion eggs
• 1 wholemeal muffin, split in two
• 1 (70g) tomato, sliced
• 100g/4oz premium lean ham
• 1 (200ml) glass of orange juice
• Cracked black pepper to serve

What you do:

1. Fill a small frying pan with water to a depth of 5cm and heat until it is just simmering. One at a time, crack the eggs and drop them into the hot water, then reduce the heat so the water is gently bubbling. Poach for 3-4mins or until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
2. Meanwhile, toast the muffin and place both halves on a plate, top with the sliced tomato and ham.
3. Using a slotted spoon, carefully lift the eggs from the water and place them on top of the ham. Top with cracked pepper and serve immediately with a glass of orange juice.
