The Full English Breakfast 🍳

Method

1. 1

   Prick the sausages, lay them in a cold pan with a little oil and cook slowly over low heat for 12 to 15 minutes, turning, so they brown without splitting.

2. 2

   Grill or pan-fry the halved tomatoes and whole mushrooms with butter until the tomatoes char and the mushrooms give up their water.

3. 3

   In a dry hot pan, fry the black pudding slices until crisp at the edges, then the bacon until the fat renders and the edges turn crackly.

4. 4

   Heat the beans through in a small pan, keeping them loose.

5. 5

   Fry the eggs in butter over moderate heat, spooning fat over the whites to set the top while the yolk stays runny.

6. 6

   Build the plate while everything is hot: toast down, then sausages, bacon, black pudding, beans, tomatoes, mushrooms and the egg on top; season and serve immediately with tea.
