Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 8 slices thick-cut bacon
- 15 oz. can of Heinz beans in tomato sauce
- 2 Tbsp. butter, divided
- 8 oz. sliced white mushrooms (baby bella)
- 8 oz. breakfast sausage (about 12 links)
- 4 small or roma tomatoes, sliced in half
- 4 eggs
- 4 slices toast
Instructions
- Cook bacon. Add bacon to a cold pan and cook over medium heat, flipping frequently, until fully cooked. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
- Heat beans on the stove in a small pot over low heat. Keep warm until it’s time to eat.
First batch of pans. (You need two non-stick skillets)
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat in a large non-stick skillet and add mushrooms to pan. Season with sea salt and black pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until mushrooms are tender and golden brown, about 4-7 minutes. Remove mushrooms from the pan and keep warm in the microwave. Wipe out the pan with a paper towel.
- While mushrooms are cooking, add sausages to a second non-stick skillet and cook according to package instructions. Remove sausages and keep warm in the microwave. (Save oil in skillet!)
Second batch of pans.
- Start toasting bread while you’re cooking the eggs and tomatoes.
- Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in the large non-stick skillet and cook eggs according to preferences. Season eggs with salt and pepper to taste. (I did sunny side-up for adults, scrambled for kids.)
- Heat the sausage skillet over medium heat and sprinkle the cut side of the tomatoes with sea salt. Add tomatoes, cut side down, to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes, until softened and lightly charred.
- Assemble your English breakfast on plates, including desired components or serve family-style at the table.
Notes
- Storage: This meal is best served immediately, but all of the leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reheat components on the stovetop or in the microwave.
- Ingredient notes: Use high-quality ingredients for best results. Some of the authentic ingredients are hard to find in my area, so I used items that are easily accessible in the US. If you don’t love the texture or flavor of cooked tomatoes, leave them raw and serve them on the side!
- Special tools: Two nonstick skillets are especially helpful, and I had to order Heinz beans in tomato sauce.
