A traditional fry-up can really hit the spot. It’s a substantial dish featuring a combination of fried, grilled, or poached ingredients, typically including eggs, bacon, sausages, grilled tomatoes, mushrooms, baked beans, and toast. No wonder it’s sometimes known as “the full Monty”!
Ingredients
- 2 pork sausages
- 2 rashers of back bacon
- 2 large eggs
- 1 large tomato, halved
- 4 mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 can of baked beans
- 2 slices of bread
- Butter for spreading
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Vegetable oil for frying
Method
- Preheat the grill and the oven to 200°C (392°F).
- In a frying pan, heat a little vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook for about 10 minutes until browned and cooked through.
- Meanwhile, place the bacon rashers on a grill tray and grill for about 5 minutes on each side until crispy.
- In a separate frying pan, melt some butter and add the sliced mushrooms. Cook until they are soft and lightly browned.
- Heat a little oil in yet another frying pan and add the halved tomatoes, cooking until slightly charred and softened.
- While cooking the other ingredients, heat the baked beans in a saucepan over medium heat until hot.
- Toast the bread slices and spread with butter.
- In a non-stick pan, fry the eggs according to your preference.
- Arrange all the cooked ingredients on a plate and serve hot with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
