Mini Full English Breakfast Recipe

Cook bacon

Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the streaky bacon rashers in a single layer (no oil needed). Cook for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crisp to your liking. Transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper to drain and keep warm.

Cook sausages

In the same pan, reduce heat to medium-low and add the sausages. If the pan is dry, add 1 tsp vegetable oil. Cook slowly, turning every 2–3 minutes, for 10–12 minutes until browned and cooked through (internal temp 75°C / 165°F). Transfer to the plate with the bacon and keep warm.

Fry eggs

Wipe the pan lightly if too greasy, then add 1 tbs unsalted butter and melt over medium-low heat. Crack in the eggs and cook for 2–3 minutes for runny yolks or 4–5 minutes for firmer yolks. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. For sunny-side-up cover briefly with a lid for 30–60 seconds to set the whites if needed. Transfer eggs to plates when done.

Warm baked beans

While the sausages cook, heat the baked beans in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 4–6 minutes until gently bubbling. If too thick, add 1–2 tbs water. Keep warm on very low heat and season with a little black pepper to taste.

Pan-roast tomato

Half the large tomato horizontally. Heat a small frying pan over medium-high heat with 1 tsp olive oil. Place the cut side down and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 2–3 minutes until lightly charred and softened, then flip and cook 30 seconds more. Remove from heat and keep warm.

Toast the bread slices in a toaster or under a grill until golden and crisp (about 2–3 minutes). Butter while hot with the reserved 1 tbs butter.

Assemble: divide beans between two small plates or one platter. Add 2 bacon rashers and 2 sausages per serving. Place a fried egg on each plate and add the charred tomato halves. Serve the buttered toast on the side and sprinkle optional chopped fresh parsley over the eggs and tomato.

Serve immediately while hot. Provide salt and black pepper at the table for extra seasoning.
