Full English Breakfast 

The Full English Breakfast—often fondly called a “fry-up”—is a hearty and iconic weekend breakfast that originated in Victorian‑ and Edwardian‑era Britain. It combines fried eggs, savory sausages, crispy back bacon, grilled tomatoes and mushrooms, baked beans, toast or fried bread, and traditionally, black pudding. Typically served with tea, coffee, or juice, this plate offers a satisfying balance of protein, fat, fiber, and flavor, making it a filling meal that keeps you going until lunchtime. Welcomed throughout the UK and Ireland, it’s a celebratory, all-day breakfast staple that’s as communal as it is comforting

• 4 pork sausages (you can substitute chicken sausages)

• 4 large eggs
  
  

• 1 can baked beans (Heinz-style) 

• 4 plum tomatoes, halved
  
  

• 2 cups mushrooms (e.g., cremini or mixed), halved or sliced
  
  

• 4–6 slices of bread (toasted or pan‑fried)

Directions

1. Prep & Heat:
   
   

   • Warm your skillet over medium heat; add a splash of oil or butter.
     
     

2. Cook the Meats:
   
   

   • Fry sausages until browned and cooked through, turning regularly (about 10–12 min).
     
     

   • In the same pan, cook back bacon until crisp (2–4 min per side). Transfer meats to a warm plate.
     
     

   • If using black pudding, fry slices for 2–3 min per side until crisped.
     
     

3. Vegetables & Beans:
   
   

   • In the meat drippings, fry tomatoes (cut side down) until slightly caramelized (~3 min).
     
     

   • Cook mushrooms until golden, stirring occasionally (~5–7 min). Season lightly.
     
     

   • In a small saucepan, gently heat the baked beans until warmed through.
     
     

4. Eggs & Toast:
   
   

   • Fry eggs sunny-side-up or as preferred in butter or oil, seasoning with salt and pepper.
     
     

   • Toast bread, or pan-fry in butter for extra richness.
     
     

5. Assembly:
   
   

   • Arrange sausages, bacon, eggs, beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, black pudding (if used), and toast on each plate.
     
     

   • Serve hot, with tea, coffee, or juice on the side.
