Full English Breakfast
A hearty and satisfying classic breakfast combining crispy bacon, succulent sausages, baked beans, eggs, and tomatoes, served alongside buttered toast.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 slices slices of back bacon
- 2 pieces pork sausages
- 4 pieces eggs cooked to your liking
- 1 cup baked beans (canned)
- 2 large tomatoes, halved
- 4 slices bread white or whole grain
- to taste Butter for frying and spreading
- to taste Salt & pepper
- Optional: fresh herbs for garnish
Instructions
Cooking
- Begin by heating your large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the back bacon to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally until crispy and golden brown. Remove the bacon and set aside on a warm plate.
- In the same skillet, add the sausages. Cook for 10–12 minutes, turning frequently until browned and cooked through. Once cooked, remove the sausages and place them on the warm plate.
- While the sausages are cooking, heat the baked beans in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking, allowing them to warm through.
- Add the halved tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for about 3–4 minutes, cut side down, until they are soft and slightly charred.
- Prepare the eggs to your liking: fry, scramble, or poach. If frying, use butter in the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes until the whites are set and yolks remain runny.
- Toast the bread to your preferred shade of golden brown and butter it generously.
- Arrange everything on a warm plate—baked beans alongside the bacon, sausages, eggs, and tomatoes—and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
For best results, cook bacon and sausages together. Preheat your skillet for a nice sear. Consider grilling the tomatoes for extra flavor. Store leftovers in the fridge for a quick breakfast the next day.
