Classic English Breakfast

1Preheat your skillet over a medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil (1 tablespoon). Add the mushrooms (4) and sliced tomato (1 large) to one side of the skillet. On the other side, place the slices of black pudding (2). Cook the mushrooms (4) and tomatoes for about 5 minutes, turning once until softened. Cook the black pudding according to the package instructions, usually about 2 minutes per side.

2Push the mushrooms (4), tomatoes, and black pudding to one side of the skillet. Add the bacon and sausages (2) to the skillet. Cook the bacon for about 4 minutes on each side or until crisp. Cook the sausages (2) for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until thoroughly cooked and golden brown.

3While the meats are cooking, heat the baked beans (½ cup) in a small pot over low heat, stirring occasionally.

4In another skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil (2 tablespoons) over medium heat. Crack the eggs (2 large) into the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Cook the eggs (2 large) to your preferred doneness, about 2-3 minutes for sunny-side up or 4-5 minutes for over-easy.

5Toast the bread slices until golden brown. Butter them if desired.

6Assemble the plate with the cooked meats, eggs (2 large), mushrooms (4), tomatoes, black pudding, and a spoonful of baked beans (½ cup). Optionally garnish with chopped parsley and serve with a lemon wedge (1) on the side.

7Serve the classic English breakfast with optional sides like buttered toast and hash browns, accompanied by a hot cup of tea or coffee.
