Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices Bread (Homemade pullman loaf or whole wheat recommended)
- 1 can Baked Beans (Canned or homemade)
- 2 tbsp Oil (Olive oil can be substituted)
- 2 tbsp Butter (Optional, can substitute with olive oil or omit)
- 4 links Chicken Sausages (Or any preferred type)
- 2 medium Tomatoes (Seared until charred)
- 8 whole Mushrooms (Grilled to enhance flavor)
- 4 large Eggs (Fried to preference)
- 1 pinch Salt (To taste)
- 1 pinch Black Pepper (To taste)
- 2 tbsp Spring Onions (Optional garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Baked Beans: Heat canned beans in a saucepan over medium heat for 5-7 minutes. If homemade, simmer with spices for 20-30 minutes.
- Toast the Bread: Slice bread, butter each side, and toast in a skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Cook the Sausages and Vegetables: Add sausages to a frying pan over medium heat and cook for about 10 minutes until browned. Add halved tomatoes and mushrooms, cooking for another 5-7 minutes until seared and tender.
- Fry the Eggs: In the same frying pan, use low heat and a small amount of butter. Crack eggs into the pan and fry for 3-5 minutes until whites are set and yolks are runny. Season with salt and pepper.
- Assemble the Full English Breakfast: Plate the warm baked beans, crispy toast, cooked sausages, mushrooms, and tomatoes. Top with the fried eggs. Garnish with chopped spring onions if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For enhanced flavor, sear tomatoes and mushrooms until well-charred.
- Monitor eggs closely during frying to achieve desired yolk consistency.
- Consider adding smoked paprika or cayenne pepper to baked beans for extra flavor.
- Plate and serve components immediately to ensure they are warm.
- Feel free to customize with different sausage types, bacon, or fried potatoes.
