How to whip up a classic Full English Breakfast right in your own kitchen—no passport required! 🇬🇧🍳

🛒 Ingredients

  • 2 pork sausages

  • 2–3 slices of back bacon

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 cup baked beans (canned is fine)

  • 1 tomato, halved

  • A handful of mushrooms (button or cremini)

  • 2 slices of bread (for toast or fried bread)

  • Optional: black pudding slices

  • Butter or oil for frying

  • Salt & pepper to taste

🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Cook the sausages

    • Heat a little oil in a pan over medium heat.

    • Cook sausages for 12–15 minutes, turning regularly until browned and cooked through.

  2. Add the bacon and black pudding

    • Push sausages to the side and add bacon.

    • Fry until golden and slightly crisp (about 3–4 minutes per side).

    • If using black pudding, cook for 2–3 minutes per side until crispy.

  3. Sauté mushrooms and tomatoes

    • In the same or a second pan, sauté mushrooms in butter until browned.

    • Place tomato halves cut-side down and cook until caramelized (about 3–4 minutes).

  4. Warm the baked beans

    • Heat gently in a small saucepan, stirring occasionally.

  5. Fry the eggs

    • Crack eggs into the pan and cook to your liking—sunny side up is traditional.

  6. Toast or fry the bread

    • Toast it, or for extra indulgence, fry it in the leftover bacon fat until golden.

  7. Assemble and serve

    • Plate everything up while hot. Add a mug of tea or coffee for the full experience!
