Full English Breakfast with all the trimmings.

Always best enjoyed with a friend.

Black pudding
Lincolnshire sausages
Back bacon
Potatoes
Onion
Tomatoes
Mushrooms
White bread
Baked beans
5 eggs
Vegetable oil
HP sauce and ketchup
Salt and pepper

Grate the potatoes into a bowl.

Squeeze the grated potatoes to let out as much of the moisture as possible.

Add finely chopped onion salt, pepper and an egg.

This is what it will look like.

Mix thoroughly.

In a medium heat frying pan place two big lumps in the pan.

Flatten and shape into patties.

Fry until golden brown on both sides.

Place in a baking tray and keep in the oven.

Put your baked beans on a low heat.

Fry your sausages and tomatoes in vegetable oil.

After the sausages are cooked, place the bacon in the same pan and add the sausages to the pan with the hash browns.

Fry the bacon until cooked.

Add your mushrooms and fry.

Add your bread and fry.

Fry on both sides until golden brown.

Add your fried bread to your oven tray and place in the oven.

Crack the eggs onto a frying pan on a low heat.

EGGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When your eggs are almost cooked, take everything out of the oven.

Plate up how ever you like.

Mmmmmmmmm fry up :)

That will do us I think.

Any questions please ask. Everyone needs to have a proper full English Breakfast in their life. If you are going to do it, do it right.

In the US I just made it myself, local butchers and stores have the material

What about British style bacon? I’ve checked most major stores and can’t seem to find any

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

it's all about getting a cut from the back instead of the belly, so you might have to find a back cut or a butcher

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Go to your butcher, he'll have back bacon...Otherwise, just get Canadian bacon (peameal bacon), it's pretty much the same thing

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

To be more accurate - peameal and 'Canadian' bacon are both varieties of back bacon, but they're not the same variety. (Canadian is closer/

to the basic variety.)

How often do you eat this, and once ate, do you eat again later in the day? English breakfast looks like it'd fit right into the AmericanME.

You might eat a smaller version of this every day and then still have lunch and dinner later on. Especially if you work with your hands
