A full English breakfast is a hearty meal typically enjoyed in the United Kingdom and consists of several components. Here’s a traditional recipe:
### Ingredients:
– 4 pork sausages
– 4 slices of back bacon
– 4 large free-range eggs
– 4 slices of black pudding (blood sausage), optional
– 4 slices of white or wholemeal bread
– 400g (14 oz) of canned baked beans
– 2 large tomatoes, halved
– 8 button mushrooms, halved
– Butter or oil for frying
– Salt and pepper to taste
### Instructions:
-
**Cook the sausages and bacon:**
– Provide Heat to a frying pan over medium heat and then add the sausages. Cook them, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through.
– In the same pan or another pan, fry the bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside.
-
**Prepare the other ingredients:**
– Heat another frying pan and add a little butter or oil. Once hot, add the halved tomatoes and mushrooms. Cook until they are softened and browned. Remove and set aside.
– If you’re including black pudding, fry the slices in the same pan until crispy on both sides. Remove and set aside.
-
**Cook the eggs:**
– In the same pan you cooked the other ingredients (adding more butter or oil if needed), crack the eggs gently into the pan. Fry all when the whites are set but yolks are still runny .
-
**Prepare the bread:**
The slices of bread toast until golden brown. You can use frying pan or toaster.
-
**Heat the baked beans:**
– Pour the canned baked beans into a small saucepan and heat gently on the stove until hot.
-
**Assemble the breakfast:**
– Arrange all the cooked components on a plate. Place the sausages, bacon, eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, black pudding (if using), and toast. Serve with the heated baked beans on the side.
-
**Season to taste:**
– Add salt and pepper to taste over the eggs and other components if desired.
-
**Serve hot:**
– Enjoy your full English breakfast while it’s still hot!
