The 30-Minute Full English Breakfast

Ingredients (serves 2)

How-to-Make-Full-English.jpg4 top-quality pork sausages
4 rashers of dry-cured back bacon
2 slices of English black pudding
2 field mushrooms
1 can of baked beans
1 tomato, halved
2 eggs
2 slices bread
Vegetable oil
Butter
Salt and pepper
Sauce of choice (tomato ketchup, brown sauce (preferably HP), English mustard)

Method

00:00 Set the oven to 100ºc, turn the grill to high and put a large frying pan over a low-to-medium heat. Put two plates in the oven. Gather the ingredients.
00:05 Add the sausages and a dash of oil to the pan. Prick them if you want to please your doctor more than your taste buds. Quarter-turn every few minutes.
00:10 Put the baked beans in a saucepan over a low heat. Stir occasionally.
00:15 Season the tomato and mushrooms with salt and pepper, and top with a knob of butter. Place under the hot grill. Add the bacon to the pan.
00:20 Divide the evenly-browned sausages between the plates in the oven. Turn the bacon and add black pudding. Turn the pudding after three minutes.
00:25 Divide the mushrooms, tomato, bacon and black pudding equally between plates in the oven. Toast the bread. Wipe out the pan with some kitchen roll, add a fresh splash of oil and crack in the eggs.
00:30 Remove the plates from oven and add the baked beans and fried eggs. Butter the toast, cut in half and add to the side of the plate. Serve with preferred sauce.
