1. Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the turkey bacon and chicken sausages. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and browned. Set aside and keep warm.
2. In the same skillet, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil and lightly grill the halved tomatoes cut side down for about 2 minutes. Remove and set aside.
3. Add another teaspoon of olive oil to the skillet, and sauté the sliced mushrooms for 5-6 minutes until softened. Add baby spinach during the last minute of cooking, allowing it to wilt. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper, then set aside.
4. Wipe the skillet clean and lightly coat it with the remaining olive oil. Cook eggs sunny-side up or to your preferred doneness. Season with salt and black pepper, then set aside.
5. While the eggs cook, warm the baked beans in a small pan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 3-4 minutes.
6. Toast the slices of whole-grain bread in a toaster or on a griddle pan until golden brown. Spread the mashed avocado over the toast and sprinkle with a pinch of black pepper for extra flavor.
7. To plate, divide all the cooked components evenly between two plates: turkey bacon, chicken sausages, eggs, grilled tomatoes, sautéed mushrooms and spinach, baked beans, and avocado toast.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy this healthier take on a traditional Full English Breakfast!
