Healthy Full English Breakfast
Healthy Full English Breakfast
This Full English Breakfast brings sausages, bacon, eggs, baked beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, and toast together on one generous plate, timed so everything finishes hot together. The real trick is staggering the cook order, starting with the longest cooking sausages and finishing with quick fried eggs, using a low oven to keep everything warm along the way. It is the kind of breakfast worth setting aside real time for on a lazy weekend morning.
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Cook sausages 10 to 12 minutes, then hold warm in a low oven.
- Cook bacon until crisp, then hold warm.
- Sear tomatoes cut side down, then hold warm.
- Sauté mushrooms until softened and liquid evaporates.
- Warm the baked beans in a saucepan.
- Toast the bread.
- Fry the eggs to preference.
- Plate everything together immediately.
Cook in order of longest to shortest time, starting with sausages and finishing with eggs, using a low oven to keep everything else warm in between.
Notes
- Start with sausages, since they take the longest, and finish with eggs, since they cook fastest.
- Use a low oven, around 170°F, to hold finished components warm without drying them out.
- Toast the bread close to serving time so it stays warm and crisp rather than soft.
- A large skillet or griddle gives enough surface area to cook multiple components without overcrowding.
