Ingredients

4 beef, chicken, or vegetarian sausages

4 eggs (fried, poached, or scrambled)

1 cup baked beans (canned or homemade)

1 cup mushrooms, halved or sliced

2 medium tomatoes, halved

4 slices bread (white, whole wheat, or sourdough)

Butter or oil (for frying)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Cook sausages in a skillet or under the grill until browned and cooked through.

In the same pan, sauté mushrooms until golden. Grill tomatoes until slightly charred and softened.

Heat baked beans in a saucepan until warmed through.

Cook eggs to preference: fried, poached, or scrambled.

Toast bread and spread with butter if desired.

Arrange all components neatly on a plate for a traditional English-style presentation.

Notes

Make it vegetarian with plant-based sausages, halloumi, and extra vegetables.

For a healthier version, grill instead of fry.

Optional add-ins: hash browns, sautéed spinach, grilled halloumi, or black pudding.

Best enjoyed fresh, but sausages and beans can be prepped ahead and reheated.
