Ingredients

• 2 eggs (fried, scrambled, or poached)
• 2-3 slices of turkey bacon (preferably British-style back bacon)
• 2 sausages (Cumberland or your favorite type)
• 1 tomato, halved
• 1/2 cup baked beans (British-style)
• 1-2 slices of black pudding (optional)
• 4-5 mushrooms, sliced
• 2 slices of toast or fried bread
• 1 tablespoon butter (for frying)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation Method

Cook the Sausages

In a large skillet, cook the sausages over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.

Cook the Bacon

Using the same skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Once done, remove the bacon and set it aside.

Sauté the Mushrooms

Add a little butter to the skillet and sauté the sliced mushrooms for 4-5 minutes until golden and tender. Season with salt and pepper. Remove and set aside.

Cook the Tomatoes

Place the halved tomatoes cut-side down in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized. Set them aside.

Fry the Black Pudding (Optional)

If using black pudding, fry the slices for 2-3 minutes on each side until crispy.

Warm the Baked Beans

In a small saucepan, heat the baked beans over low heat until warmed through. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Cook the Eggs

Fry, scramble, or poach the eggs to your liking in the same skillet. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Prepare the Toast or Fried Bread

Toast the bread slices in a toaster or fry them in butter in the skillet until golden and crispy.

Serve

Arrange all the components—eggs, sausages, bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes, black pudding, baked beans, and toast—on a large plate. Serve hot with tea or coffee.

Tips and Conclusion

Make It Lighter: Swap out regular bacon for turkey bacon or use vegetarian sausages for a lighter version.

For Authenticity: Use British baked beans and black pudding for a traditional experience.

Optional Condiments: Serve with HP Sauce or ketchup for dipping.
