Ingredients:
2 eggs (fried, scrambled, or poached)
2-3 slices of turkey bacon (preferably British-style back bacon)
2 sausages (Cumberland or your favorite type)
1 tomato, halved
1/2 cup baked beans (British-style)
1-2 slices of black pudding (optional)
4-5 mushrooms, sliced
2 slices of toast or fried bread
1 tablespoon butter (for frying)
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Cook the sausages: In a large skillet, cook the sausages over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Cook the bacon: In the same skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside.
Sauté the mushrooms: Add a little butter to the skillet and sauté the sliced mushrooms for 4-5 minutes until golden and tender. Season with salt and pepper. Remove and set aside.
Cook the tomatoes: Place the halved tomatoes cut-side down in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized. Set aside.
Fry the black pudding: If using black pudding, fry the slices for 2-3 minutes on each side until crispy.
Warm the baked beans: In a small saucepan, heat the baked beans over low heat until warmed through.
Cook the eggs: Fry, scramble, or poach the eggs to your liking in the same skillet. Season with salt and pepper.
Prepare the toast or fried bread: Toast the bread or fry slices in butter until golden and crispy.
Serve: Arrange all the components—eggs, sausages, bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes, black pudding, baked beans, and toast—on a large plate. Serve hot with tea or coffee.
Helpful Tips:
You can swap out regular bacon for turkey bacon or use vegetarian sausages for a lighter version.
For an authentic experience, use British baked beans and black pudding.
Serve with a side of HP Sauce or ketchup for dipping.
Enjoy this hearty, classic English breakfast, perfect for a big weekend brunch or a traditional start to the day!
