Serves:
1
Preparation Time:
5 minutes
Cooking Time:
15 minutes
Total Time:
20 minutes

Step 1: You will need

  • 2 sausages
  • 100 g mushrooms
  • 2 Rashers bacon
  • 2 eggs
  • 150 g baked beans
  • vegetable oil
  • ketchup or brown sauce
  • 1 knife
  • 1 chopping board
  • 1 wooden stirring spoon
  • 1 spatula
  • 1 small saucepan
  • 2 frying pans

Step 2: Sausages

We start with our sausages. Quality is crucial here - go for ones with a high percentage of pork and natural ingredients.

Place them in a frying pan with preheated vegetable oil.

They'll take the longest to cook of all our ingredients, around 12 minutes, with regular turning required. They make a lovely, reassuring sizzle as they fry.

Step 3: Mushrooms

Wash and slice the mushrooms. Add them to some preheated vegetable oil in a separate frying pan, then stir and toss them on a gentle heat for about 5 minutes.

After that, consign them to a warm plate until the rest of the fry-up is finished, which won't be long now. Because things are really starting to hot up.

Step 4: Bacon

Bacon next; when the sausages have been frying for 8 minutes, add the rashers to the same pan and turn them every minute or two.

Step 5: Baked beans

As soon as your bacon's under way, the baked beans go on the stove. They require a gentle heat and plenty of stirring.

Now it's a total juggling act!

Step 6: Eggs

While you keep an eye on all that sizzling and bubbling, replenish the other frying pan with oil and put it on a medium heat in readiness for the eggs.

Keep turning the bacon and stirring the beans; then crack one egg... and two, into the empty frying pan. Transfer it to the hottest plate on the stove if necessary - keep stirring those beans! And we're nearly done.

The final touch is to get your spatula and splash hot oil over the eggs until the yolks go opaque. This is a sure sign that they're cooked properly.

And when they're done, the whole meal is done.

Step 7: Serve

Add it all to the plate with the mushrooms on and get ready for the Full English experience.

Try a little tomato ketchup or brown sauce for the finishing touch to the perfect fried breakfast.

    Eat Right, Get plenty of exercise, don't smoke and die anyway. You don't sit down with this kind of food every day but if all you want is helthy food, then stick to rice cakes or grule or brown rice, You might not live forever, but it will feel that way ;)

    As to there being to much oil, this is the old style of english cooking. If you ever want to see how bad for you cooking can get, look into the television show "2 Fat Ladys". The first show I ever caught they were makeing something and started off with "First melt 1/2 Lb of lard" and then they added more salt and fat. Heart attack on a plate, but taste O so good. ;)

    Your all too critical. The full English can change from cafe to cafe as well as from region to region. The great thing is that there is no right or wrong to it. I've eaten full English all over. In London it mostly comes with Bubble(a fried pattie made from precooked cabbage and potato) and sometimes fries. In Stoke they serve it with an oatcake(like a savoury english pancake) In the Midlands where I live you can eat it with black pudding(a sausage made with blood) and in Scotland you have it with a tattie(potato) cake and square flat sausage. In ireland you have a chunk of soda bread. Hash browns are relitively new and pigs kidneys are out of fashion now.Fried bread is popular if you enjoy heartburn. In guest houses you start with cereal or porrige and end with lots of toast and jam. I always eat it as the recipe shown but with tinned tomatoes instead of mushrooms and with 2 white toast and a large cup of white, sweet tea. NOT EVERY DAY though. Mmmmm.

    too much on a plate for breakfast,might as well be lunch! sausages go on last not first! not enough time in the mornin. too lazy to make them my friend says that the fry pan isn't clean too much to start off the day peace!!!

    brown sauce is not gravy or bbq sauce. its closer to heinz 57sauce or a1 sauce. baked beans in uk is called pork and beans sans pork in usa. i don't know how to explain english bacon, its closer to canadian bacon. i do miss the mushrooms, tomatoes and fried bread. yum i remember fry ups being a weekend treat, not everyday fare.

    Use one large frying pan and low temp grill. Cook sauages, black pudding and bacon and tomatos first in a dribble of oil. Keep warm under grill, whilst frying eggs sunny side up in the bacon and sausage fat. Place eggs under grill to finish tops. Perfect time for frying bread, one side only, or hash browns. Then mushrooms. These will soak up most of the pan juices. Finally Baked beans. These will clean the pan for you! Baked beans are essential and compliment black pudding like nothing else on earth. MMmmmmm. Cup of tea also essential. (",)
