This recipe delivers all the classic flavors with speedy preparation, customizable options, and a balanced texture to energize your morning.

Ingredients

Meats & Proteins

  • Bacon strips – 4 pieces (preferably back bacon)
  • Breakfast sausages – 4 pork or vegetarian sausages
  • Eggs – 4 fresh free-range eggs
  • Black pudding (optional) – 4 slices

Vegetables & Sides

  • Mushrooms – 150g button or chestnut mushrooms, sliced
  • Tomatoes – 2 ripe tomatoes, halved
  • Baked beans – 200g warm baked beans

Bread & Cooking Fats

  • Bread slices – 4 thick slices of your favorite bread
  • Butter or oil – 2 tbsp for cooking and spreading

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Meats: Heat a pan over medium heat and fry the bacon strips and sausages until cooked through and beautifully caramelized. Keep them warm while moving on to the next steps.
  2. Cook the Mushrooms and Tomatoes: In the same pan, add mushrooms and halved tomatoes. Lightly season with salt and pepper and cook until mushrooms are golden and tomatoes are slightly softened but still hold their shape.
  3. Warm the Baked Beans: Gently heat the baked beans in a small saucepan over low heat until warmed through and ready to serve.
  4. Cook the Eggs: Fry or scramble the eggs to your liking. Sunny-side up is recommended for the classic experience with runny yolks.
  5. Toast the Bread: Toast thick slices of bread to a crisp golden brown and butter generously for extra flavor.
  6. Assemble and Serve: Arrange bacon, sausages, eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes, baked beans, and toast neatly on a large plate. Add black pudding slices if desired. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Timing is everything – cook longer items first and keep warm under foil while preparing others.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan to allow bacon and sausages to crisp properly instead of steaming.
  • Use fresh ingredients for better taste and presentation.
  • Keep cooked items warm in a low-heat oven without drying them out before serving.
  • Customize eggs as preferred: poached, scrambled, or fried all work well.
