Ingredients
- 8 Sausages
- 2 Bread Slices
- 1 Cup Cooked Beans
- 2 Eggs
- Pinch Salt
- 1 Teaspoon Black Pepper
- Boil sausages for 1 minute. I boil my sausages to lessen the frying time but you can fry the sausages directly in oil
- Fry the sausages until golden brown and cooked
- Set the sausages aside as you cook the rest of the ingredients
- Beat eggs in bowl, add salt and black pepper. Whisk to combine. Pour eggs in pan with oil, add the beaten eggs and scramble as you cook. You can scramble to your desired consistency. Butter the two toasts on both sides.
- Add to pan and grill until lightly browned. You can have baked beans but I had some left over beans which were great
- Garnish your English breakfast with some strawberries or fruit of your choice
- Serve with a hot cup of tea. Now that is what I call having breakfast like a King!
Traditional English Breakfast
A hearty, savory start to the day – warm, filling, and full of character.
An English breakfast typically includes eggs, sausages, bacon, baked beans, grilled tomatoes, mushrooms, and toast. Some variations also serve black pudding, fried bread, or hash browns. It’s a well-loved classic that’s often enjoyed as a weekend indulgence or special morning treat.
FAQs
What’s included in a full English breakfast?
A traditional full English breakfast often features fried or scrambled eggs, bacon rashers, sausages, grilled tomatoes, sautéed mushrooms, baked beans, and toasted or fried bread. Optional additions include hash browns, black pudding (a type of blood sausage), and sometimes even cooked potatoes or a cup of English tea.
Can I make a vegetarian or vegan English breakfast?
Absolutely. You can substitute meat items with plant-based sausages and bacon, tofu scramble instead of eggs, and add extras like avocado, sweet potato hash, or veggie patties. Vegan baked beans and dairy-free butter for toast also work perfectly.
Is it okay to eat English breakfast regularly?
While it’s delicious, a full English breakfast is high in saturated fat and sodium if prepared traditionally. For frequent consumption, opt for grilled or baked components, use lean meats, and cut down on added oils and butter.
How do I keep it from being too greasy?
Use grilling, baking, or air frying instead of deep frying. Drain cooked items on paper towels and use minimal oil or opt for nonstick cookware.
Can I prep it ahead?
Yes! Sausages and bacon can be precooked and reheated, and baked beans can be made in advance. Reheat gently and toast bread or fry eggs fresh for the best experience.
