The English have brought us many great things — Coldplay, Prince Harry, Love Actually and most importantly, the classic full English breakfast recipe (OR a 'fry up'). It is the ultimate feed, the pick-me-up when you’re feeling down, and just like a big warm hug, it never disappoints.
There are many regional versions of this staple breakfast recipe, however, ours consists of baked beans, old English pork sausages, bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes, eggs and toast. And of course, no English breakfast is complete without a hot tea or coffee.
Ingredients:
- 1 can of beans
- 4 old English pork sausages
- 4 slices of bacon (any cut of your choice)
- 1 large mushroom cup sliced
- 2 small tomatoes
- 4 slices of bread
- 4 eggs
How to cook our version of a Full English Breakfast recipe, method:
- Prepare the beans - Gently heat the beans in a small pot over low heat, and keep warm on a low heat while you prepare the rest of the recipe.
- Cook the pork sausages - Place the pork sausages in a medium to medium-low heat pan. Cook them until they turn a rich brown color and are thoroughly cooked, turning occasionally.
- Cook the bacon - Using the same pan, cook the bacon slices, until they are crispy and delicious (or to your tasting)
- Sauté the mushrooms - In another pan, add a splash of oil and heat it over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and let them cook until they become deliciously browned and caramelised.
- Sear the tomato - In the same pan, briefly sear the cut side of the tomato until it develops a slight char.
- Toast the bread - Wipe the pan clean and add a bit of oil or butter. Heat it over medium heat and fry the bread slices until they turn golden brown, flipping them and adding more oil or butter as needed.
- Prepare the eggs - Using the same pan, fry the eggs to your desired level of doneness, whether it's sunny-side-up, over-easy, or you could also try scrambled or poached eggs.
- It’s time to serve and enjoy - Arrange all the cooked components on your plate: the pork sausages, bacon, sautéed mushrooms, seared tomato, fried bread, and your perfectly cooked eggs. It's time to dig in and enjoy your mouthwatering Full English Breakfast while your coffee or tea is still hot.
