Traditional English Breakfast- English Recipe

The Traditional English breakfast includes grilled bacon, sausages, fried eggs, fried tomatoes, baked beans, fried mushrooms, potatoes, and fried bread. It was traditionally served with tea with milk. This is a fun international recipe to make for a Sunday Brunch, when you are having guests over.

Ingredients:

• 2 flat mushrooms
• 2 links good quality sausages
• 2-3 slices bacon
• 1 ripe tomato
• 1 large egg
• 1 slice bread
• Baked beans
• Cooked potatoes

Directions:

Heat the flat grill plate over a low heat, on top of 2 rings/flames if it fits, and brush sparingly with light olive oil or vegetable oil. Add the sausages to the hot grill plate cook slowly for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden. After 10 minutes, change heat to medium before beginning to cook the other ingredients. I

Snip a few small cuts into the fatty edge of the bacon. Place the bacon straight on to the grill plate and fry for 2-4 minutes each side or until your preferred crispiness is reached. The cooked bacon can be kept hot on a plate in the oven.

Clean mushrooms using a pastry brush and trim the stalk level with the mushroom top. Add salt and pepper and drizzle over a little olive oil. Place stalk-side up on the grill plate and cook for 1-2 minutes before turning and cooking 3-4 minutes more. Don't over stir mushrooms so as to not get soggy.

Cut the tomatoes across in half, and with a small knife remove the green 'eye'. Add a dash of salt and pepper and drizzle with a olive oil. Place cut-side down on the grill plate and cook without moving for 2 minutes. Gently turn over and re-season. Cook 2-3 minutes until tender.

For the fried bread it's best to use bread that is a couple of days old. Heat frying pan to medium heat and cover with oil. Add the bread and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until crispy and golden brown. For a richer flavor you can add a pat of butter after you turn the slice.

Crack the egg straight into the pan with the fried bread and leave for 30 seconds. Add a pat of butter and lightly splash/baste the egg with the butter after melted. Cook and season, then remove from heat.

Heat the baked beans in a saucepan and serve on top of the fried bread. Serve your English Breakfast immediately on warm plates.
