Ingredients
Scale
- 4 links pork sausages (preferably Cumberland or Lincolnshire)
- 4 slices back bacon or Irish bacon
- 4 slices black pudding (optional)
- 1 cup mushrooms, halved or sliced
- 2 small tomatoes, halved
- 1 can Heinz baked beans
- 4 slices white bread
- 4 eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil or butter for frying
Instructions
- Warm the Beans: In a small pot, warm the Heinz baked beans over low heat, stirring occasionally to avoid sticking.
- Cook the Sausages and Bacon: In a large frying pan over medium heat, cook the sausages until browned and cooked through, turning occasionally. Push the sausages to the side, then add the back bacon to the same pan and cook until crispy.
- Fry the Black Pudding (Optional): If using, fry the black pudding slices in the same pan for 3-4 minutes per side until crispy. Keep everything warm in the pan over low heat.
- Cook the Mushrooms and Tomatoes: In a separate pan, heat a bit of oil over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until browned and caramelized, then move them to one side. Add the tomatoes, cut-side down, and sear briefly. Season with salt and pepper.
- Fry the Bread and Eggs: Wipe down the pan used for the sausages and bacon, then heat a bit of oil or butter over medium heat. Fry the bread slices until golden and crispy on both sides. In the same pan used for the mushrooms and tomatoes, fry the eggs to your liking (sunny side up recommended).
- Plate and Serve: Start by scooping the warm beans onto the center of the plate. Arrange the sausages, bacon, black pudding, mushrooms, tomatoes, and fried bread around the beans. Top it off with the eggs and serve immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
- Customize your breakfast by using different types of sausages or bacon.

- Keep all cooked ingredients warm in a low oven while you prepare the rest to ensure everything is served hot.
