Full English Breakfast Recipe

Ingredients:

  • Meats:

    • 2 sausages
    • 2 rashers of bacon
    • 1 black pudding (optional)
  • Vegetables:

    • 2 tomatoes, halved
    • 4 mushrooms, sliced
  • Other:

    • 1 cup baked beans
    • 2 eggs
    • 2 slices of bread (for toasting)
    • Butter or oil for cooking
    • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Ingredients:

    • Preheat Oven (optional): If you want to keep everything warm, preheat your oven to 200°F (95°C) and keep a baking sheet inside.
  2. Cook Sausages and Bacon:

    • Sausages: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook sausages, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through (about 10-12 minutes). Remove and keep warm.
    • Bacon: In the same skillet, cook bacon until crispy (about 4-5 minutes per side). Remove and keep warm.
  3. Cook Black Pudding (if using):

    • Black Pudding: Slice black pudding into rounds and cook in the skillet until crisp and heated through (about 2-3 minutes per side). Remove and keep warm.
  4. Cook Tomatoes and Mushrooms:

    • Tomatoes: Place halved tomatoes cut-side down in the skillet and cook until they start to caramelize and soften (about 3-4 minutes). Remove and keep warm.
    • Mushrooms: Add sliced mushrooms to the same skillet and cook until tender and browned (about 5 minutes). Remove and keep warm.
  5. Cook Eggs:

    • Fried Eggs: In a separate pan, heat butter or oil over medium heat. Crack eggs into the pan and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny (about 2-3 minutes). Alternatively, scramble eggs if preferred.
  6. Heat Baked Beans:

    • Baked Beans: Heat baked beans in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally until warmed through (about 5 minutes).
  7. Toast Bread:

    • Bread: Toast the slices of bread until golden brown. Spread with butter if desired.
  8. Assemble the Breakfast:

    • Arrange all cooked items on a plate: sausages, bacon, black pudding (if using), tomatoes, mushrooms, eggs, and toast. Add a serving of baked beans on the side.
  9. Serve:

    • Serve immediately while everything is hot.

Tips:

  • Keep Warm: If cooking in batches, keep cooked items warm in the preheated oven while you finish cooking the rest.
  • Customization: You can add other items like hash browns, sautéed spinach, or fried potatoes if you like.
  • Variations: Substitute any items based on dietary preferences or availability. For example, you can use turkey bacon or vegetarian sausages.

A Full English Breakfast is a substantial and satisfying meal that’s perfect for a special occasion or a leisurely weekend breakfast. Enjoy!
