How to Make a Full English Breakfast

Ingredients:

4 slices Bread
1 cup Baked Beans (Canned or Homemade)
1 tbsp Oil
1 tbsp Butter
4 links Chicken Sausages
2 medium Tomatoes
8 pieces of Mushroom
4 large Eggs
Salt
Black pepper
2 Spring onions (chopped)

Directions:

Start by preparing the baked beans. You can use canned baked beans, but I prefer to make my own spiced baked beans for extra flavor.
Slice your bread and toast them with a little butter until crispy. Set aside when done.
Take a large frying pan and add the oil. Place the chicken sausages, tomatoes, and mushrooms in the pan. Cook these on medium to low heat until they are well seared and cooked completely. Keep tossing them around for even cooking. Once they are charred to your liking, set them aside in the pan.
Make room in the pan for frying some eggs. Heat butter in the same pan. Crack in a couple of eggs and season with salt and pepper. Cook them to your liking—sunny side up, over-easy, or however you prefer.
Now it’s time to plate the breakfast. Place a couple of chicken sausages, fried eggs, grilled mushrooms, tomatoes, toast, and baked beans on a plate. Finally, sprinkle with chopped green onions and serve immediately.
