Full English Breakfast

The Full English Breakfast is a British institution. On a lazy weekend morning, there is nothing more satisfying than a plate loaded with crispy bacon, juicy sausages, perfectly fried eggs, baked beans, grilled tomatoes, and golden toast. While it is not an everyday meal, the Full English is a brilliant treat breakfast for weekends, special occasions, or as a recovery meal after a long week. The key to a great Full English is timing — everything should land on the plate hot and at the same time. Work in order: sausages first, then bacon, then eggs, then assemble quickly.
