The Full English Breakfast is a classic British morning meal featuring a hearty mix of eggs, sausages, bacon, beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, and toast or fried bread. Rich, filling, and customizable, it’s a beloved comfort food ideal for weekend brunches or special occasions.

Ingredients

  • 4 pork sausages
  • 4 slices back bacon or streaky bacon
  • 4 eggs (fried or scrambled)
  • 1 cup baked beans (canned or homemade)
  • 2 fresh tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup button mushrooms, sliced or whole
  • 4 slices bread (white or wholemeal)
  • 2–4 slices black pudding (optional)
  • 2 tbsp butter or oil (for frying)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) to keep cooked items warm or heat beans and tomatoes.
  2. Cook sausages in a skillet over medium heat for 12–15 minutes until browned and cooked through. Transfer to warm oven or plate.
  3. In the same pan, fry bacon until crispy or to your preference. Set aside.
  4. Add mushrooms with a bit of butter or oil and sauté until tender and browned. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Place halved tomatoes cut side down in the pan and cook for 4–5 minutes until softened and caramelized.
  6. Warm baked beans in a saucepan or in the oven until heated through.
  7. Fry or scramble eggs in a separate pan and season to taste.
  8. Toast or fry bread slices in butter or oil until golden and crisp.
  9. (Optional) Fry black pudding slices until crisp on both sides.
  10. Assemble all components on a plate and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use multiple pans to cook items simultaneously for faster preparation.
  • Keep cooked components warm in a low oven while finishing the rest.
  • Swap ingredients for vegetarian or lighter alternatives as needed.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan—cook in batches if necessary for even browning.
  • Customize with extras like hash browns or grilled fish for variety.
