Full English Breakfast

Weeknight-friendly British cooking: Full English Breakfast comes together in 40 minutes with pork sausages, back bacon, and not much else. Each serving lands at 1440 calories with 76g of protein, so it eats like a much heavier meal. Leftovers keep well, so it doubles as next-day lunch without any extra work.

Ingredients

• 4 Pork sausages
• 6 slices Back bacon
• 4 Eggs
• 1 cup Baked beans
• 2 Tomatoes
• 8 oz Mushrooms
• 4 slices White bread
• 3 tbsp Butter

Steps

1. Start with the sausages in a cold skillet over medium heat — starting cold lets the fat render slowly so they cook through without splitting. Turn until browned, about 15 minutes.
2. Push the sausages aside, add the bacon, and fry 2 to 3 minutes per side. Then the halved tomatoes and mushrooms, cut-side down, until softened and charred at the edges.
3. Warm the beans in a small saucepan. Fry the eggs in butter to your liking — fried is traditional, though scrambled and poached have their partisans.
4. Toast the bread in the bacon fat if you’re committed to authenticity, or in the toaster if you’re committed to your arteries’ feelings.
5. Plate everything together with the beans in their own little pool — never touching the eggs, according to the purists. Brown sauce or ketchup on the side, strong tea mandatory.
